FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the Ridge-Hiker is designed for warmth and breathability and is not waterproof. It should be worn under a shell in wet conditions.
Can I wear this as a base layer?
While it can be worn close to the skin, it is designed primarily as a mid-layer to be worn over a thinner base layer.
Are the pockets large enough for a phone?
Yes, the zippered chest pocket and side pockets are designed to securely hold small essentials like smartphones, keys, or energy gels.
How should I store it for the summer?
Store it clean and dry in a breathable garment bag or on a hanger in a closet away from direct sunlight.
Does the hood fit under a helmet?
The hood is designed for a close, elasticated fit and will easily fit under most climbing or cycling helmets.
Troubleshooting
Sleeves riding up while layering
Ensure the thumb loops are engaged before putting on your outer shell layer.
Fabric appears to be pilling
This can happen due to friction from backpack straps; try to adjust strap positions occasionally and wash inside out to reduce abrasion.
Zipper feels stiff
Check for fabric caught in the zipper teeth and gently clean with a soft brush if dirt has accumulated.

Cons
- Not windproof or waterproof for extreme weather conditions
- Grid pattern may be prone to snagging on sharp objects
- Requires careful layering for maximum effectiveness in freezing temperatures
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this jacket is designed as a technical layer, it works best when paired with a moisture-wicking base layer and an optional waterproof shell. To maintain the performance of the fabric:
- Washing: Machine wash at a cool temperature, ideally on a delicate cycle to preserve the fabric integrity.
- Detergent: Use a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the grid structure and hinder breathability.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the elastic components and the structure of the synthetic fibers.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup within the fibers.
