I purchased this Berghaus Meru jacket as a replacement for my 1990 Berghaus jacket.
I am impressed with the quality and fit of this Meru jacket. It fits well and feels premium quality to the touch. As of yet I have not tried it in the rain so cannot comment on the waterproof qualities. It has two outside pockets and one zipped inner pocket.
My only slight reservation about the Meru jacket is that the hood no longer packs away into the collar as it did on my last Berghaus jacket. Yes, the hood does roll up and it has a retaining strap and a snap fastener to keep it rolled up but it is not such a neat and elegant design as on my last Berghaus jacket where the hood could be very neatly and quickly rolled into the collar and it disappeared, leaving a stylish jacket with no apparent hood.
That said, I still like the overall style and look of this Meru jacket and I have high hopes for it’s longevity because my last Berghaus jacket gave me over thirty years faithful service before the zip finally broke.

In 1966, outdoor wear as we know it didn’t really exist. Then, Berghaus came along.
Born in the North East of England from a single idea by Peter Lockey and Gordon Davison, Berghaus started selling quality outdoor gear in 1966 from a small shop called the LD Mountain Centre in Newcastle, UK.
It’s been our goal to make proper gear packed with innovation from the beginning. Our founders quickly gained a reputation for selling the best outdoor wear the industry had to offer, including products like Atomic Skis, Marker Bindings and Nordica Ski. They were also the first to bring the iconic SCARPA walking boot to the UK market.
The natural next step for Lockey and Davison was to make their own gear. Soon, they began to design, test and create brand new outdoor wear, inspired by what climbers actually wanted and needed. And so, Berghaus was born.See more
