Product Information
Full details
The Ridgeline Monsoon Classic Jacket is designed for outdoor enthusiasts and professionals who require rugged, reliable protection in unpredictable weather. This 3-layer technical garment excels in providing high-level waterproof and windproof shielding, making it ideal for hunting, hiking, or farming. While its heavy-duty construction provides exceptional durability in harsh conditions, it is bulkier than lightweight rain shells, which may not be ideal for those prioritizing ultralight gear.

FAQs
Is the hood removable?
The hood is designed to be a 'roll-away' style, meaning it stows into the collar rather than detaching completely.
Does this jacket keep you warm?
It is a shell jacket. While it provides excellent protection from wind and rain, it relies on your choice of under-layers to provide thermal insulation.
What does a 10,000mm hydrostatic head mean?
It indicates the jacket can withstand the pressure of a 10,000mm column of water before moisture begins to penetrate the fabric, marking it as highly waterproof.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
We recommend air drying only. High heat can damage the waterproof membrane and the protective seam sealing.
Is this jacket suitable for winter conditions?
Yes, it is excellent for winter provided you layer appropriately with thermal base layers and mid-layers underneath.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to soak into the outer fabric
The DWR coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a DWR spray treatment to restore water repellency.
Feeling damp inside the jacket
If it is not raining, this may be trapped body moisture. Adjust your base layers to be more moisture-wicking and breathable.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Clean out any grit or mud trapped in the zip teeth and apply a light silicone lubricant if necessary.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket maintains its performance, keep the main two-way zip clear of debris; pull the storm flap firmly across the zip to lock out moisture. For sizing, the jacket is designed for an 'adult male' fit with room for layering; if you plan to wear heavy sweaters underneath, ensure you check the size chart to account for your base layers.
To clean, rinse with cold water or a damp cloth for minor dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized technical fabric detergent. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. Always air dry the jacket away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent damage to the technical membranes.
