Full details
The Ridgeline Monsoon Classic Jacket is designed for adult men who require reliable protection during demanding outdoor work or field activities in wet and windy conditions. Its primary benefit is the high-performance 3-layer construction that balances waterproof durability with breathability, ensuring you remain dry without overheating. While this jacket excels in harsh weather, its technical nature requires proper care to maintain the integrity of the specialized waterproof membrane over time.

FAQs
Is the hood removable?
The hood is designed as a roll-away style, meaning it stays attached to the jacket and can be stowed into the collar when not in use.
Can this jacket be tumble dried?
It is generally recommended to air dry the jacket to preserve the integrity of the waterproof membrane and seam sealing.
What does the 10,000mm hydrostatic head rating mean?
This indicates that the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 10-meter column of water before moisture begins to leak through, signifying strong waterproof protection.
Does this jacket have inner pockets?
The jacket features external zipped chest and hand pockets, which are designed to keep items secure and dry.
Is this jacket suitable for winter use?
Yes, it is windproof and waterproof, making it an excellent outer shell. We recommend layering with a fleece or thermal layer underneath for added warmth.
How do I ensure the correct size?
The jacket is designed with a standard fit for layering; refer to our size guide for your measurements, keeping in mind that the waist and cuffs are adjustable.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the outer fabric
The DWR finish may have worn off; apply a technical fabric reproofer spray to restore the water-beading properties.
Feeling damp inside during heavy activity
Ensure you are not wearing excessive layers underneath; the jacket requires a temperature gradient to move sweat vapor out effectively.
Zipper is sticking or not moving smoothly
Check for debris or grit in the zipper tracks and clear it with a soft brush; occasionally use a silicon-based zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For an optimal fit, ensure the waist drawcord is adjusted to your preference to prevent wind gusts from entering from below. The jacket is designed to be worn over standard mid-layers during colder months. To maintain the 3-layer protective membrane, avoid using standard heavy detergents or fabric softeners, as these can clog the breathability pores. It is recommended to wash the garment with specialized technical outdoor cleaners and occasionally re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray if you notice water stopping from beading on the surface. Always hang-dry the jacket in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the technical materials.
