Product Information
Full details
The Altura Ridge Lite Waterproof Jacket is designed for endurance cyclists and gravel riders who need a high-performance, packable emergency shell that won't weigh them down. It offers an excellent balance of 15,000mm waterproofing and 15,000g/m²/24hr breathability, making it ideal for unpredictable weather conditions during long rides. While it excels in portability and protection, users should be aware that the slim, performance-oriented fit may feel restrictive if you prefer layering bulky thermal clothing underneath.

FAQs
Is this jacket windproof?
Yes, the 3-layer fabric construction provides excellent wind protection, making it ideal for windy descents.
Can I wear this over a thick winter jacket?
The Ridge Lite has a slim performance fit, so it is best suited for layering over jerseys or light base layers rather than bulky winter gear.
How do I pack the jacket?
The jacket is designed to fold into its own integrated chest pocket for compact storage.
What does C0 DWR mean?
C0 DWR indicates an environmentally friendly, fluorine-free water repellent finish that causes water to bead up and roll off the fabric.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the hood features an elastic volume reducer to help keep it secure over your helmet.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the surface of the fabric
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and apply a spray-on DWR restorer.
Feeling damp inside despite the waterproof rating
This is often caused by humidity buildup. Ensure you are not overdressed under the jacket, as high exertion can overwhelm even the most breathable fabrics.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely lightweight and packable for emergency use
- High-spec waterproofing and breathability
- Minimalist aesthetic looks great on and off the bike
- Secure, slim fit designed for cycling ergonomics
Cons
- Slim fit may not accommodate heavy layering
- Requires proper DWR maintenance to maintain water-shedding performance
- No traditional side pockets, only the packable chest pocket
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the jacket maintains its performance, avoid using heavy fabric softeners or harsh detergents, which can damage the DWR coating. Wash on a gentle cycle with a dedicated technical outerwear wash. After washing, low-heat tumble drying can often help refresh the water-repellent finish. The helmet-compatible hood is designed to be worn over most low-profile cycling helmets; adjust the elastic volume reducer for a snug fit that doesn't obstruct your peripheral vision while riding. When packing the jacket, fold it neatly into the chest pocket to keep it wrinkle-free for your next ride.
