Product Information
Full details
The Ridgeline Monsoon Classic Jacket is designed for adult men who require reliable protection during wet and windy outdoor work or recreational activities. Its standout benefit is the combination of high-level waterproof performance with a quiet, brushed-polyester finish, offering durability without compromising on comfort. One important caveat is that while the jacket is highly breathable, it is specifically engineered for rugged, active environments rather than casual urban use, which may affect its suitability for more temperate or sedentary settings.

FAQs
Is the hood removable?
The hood is designed as a roll-away feature, meaning it can be tucked into the collar when not in use rather than completely detached.
Can this jacket be used for hiking?
Yes, its breathability and articulated movement make it excellent for hiking, especially in wet or windy environments.
How should I wash my jacket?
Use a gentle wash cycle with a technical gear cleaner. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleaching agents.
Does the jacket have internal pockets?
The jacket features practical zipped chest and hand pockets for secure external storage.
What does the 10,000mm hydrostatic head mean?
This is a measurement of waterproofness. It indicates that the fabric can hold a 10,000mm column of water before moisture begins to seep through.
Is the fit true to size?
The jacket is designed for an active fit, with room for layering underneath. If you prefer a loose fit, check the size guide against your measurements.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to soak into the outer fabric
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may be wearing off. Apply a technical re-proofing spray and follow the manufacturer's instructions for reactivation.
Condensation build-up inside the jacket
Check that the ventilation points are not blocked. Ensure your base layers are moisture-wicking to prevent sweat from trapping inside the membrane.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket provides lasting service, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent specifically designed for waterproof outerwear. Avoid harsh soaps or detergents that can strip the water-repellent coating.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is completely dry before packing it away for long periods to prevent mildew.
- Adjustment: Before heading out, practice using the three-point hood adjustments to find your preferred balance of coverage and peripheral vision.
- Layering: The jacket is sized to allow for mid-layers underneath. For extreme cold, wear a thermal base layer and a mid-layer fleece for optimal temperature regulation.
