Berghaus is a British manufacturer of outdoor gear that now distributes in the US. I expected to find a plethora of durable, traditional gear, but was pleasantly surprised to find out that Berghaus has an extensive in-house research and testing program and lays claim to some of the lightest technical gear to be found anywhere.

Berghaus Vapourlight Hypertherm FZ Jacket Review
Will…curious how you would compare the warmth of this jacket to a Montbell Thermawrap (assuming you've worn one)
Ditto: I'd like to know how the warmth compares to the Montbell Thermawrap.
Good question. I have not tested the Montbell UL Thermawrap jacket but I have tested the pants. The jacket at 8.4 ounces is a good comparison for the Berghaus Hypertherm. From the specs, I would say that the Montbell Thermawrap would be warmer, so if you are only interested in LW synthetic warmth, the Montbell is a great value at $145. However, it would not have the technical performance of the Berghaus Hypertherm. The Hypertherm is reversible with thinner fabrics, each side with a designed function, and its 2.4 ounces lighter. The Montbell Thermawrap would not be as breathable, but it would probably be more water-resistant. Hope that helps. Will.
