FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the Ridge-Hiker is designed for thermal insulation and breathability. It should be worn under a waterproof shell if you expect rain.

Can I wear this as a primary outer layer?

It can be worn as an outer layer in dry, mild conditions, but it does not offer windproof or waterproof protection.

What is the primary material used?

The jacket is crafted from high-performance polyester using Polartec Power Grid technology.

How should I wash the Ridge-Hiker Hoody?

Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener.

Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?

The three zipped pockets are designed for smaller essentials, though size compatibility depends on your specific phone model.

Does the hood have an adjustment cord?

The hood features elasticated edges to provide a snug fit without the need for manual drawcords.

Troubleshooting

Zipper feels stiff or catches

Check for fabric stuck in the track and ensure the zipper is aligned. Applying a small amount of zipper wax can improve movement.

Garment losing its shape after washing

Ensure you are using a gentle wash cycle and avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can damage the synthetic fibers.

Visible pilling on the outer surface

Use a fabric shaver gently to remove surface pills caused by friction with backpack straps or rough surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio for cold conditions
  • Breathable material prevents overheating during activity
  • Ergonomic flatlock seams improve comfort under pack straps
  • Three secure zipped pockets for versatile storage
  • Durable polyester construction built for outdoor wear

  • Polyester fabric may retain odors after intense activity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket is designed for easy integration with standard outdoor layering systems. Wear it over a moisture-wicking base layer and under a waterproof shell for complete protection in volatile weather. To maintain the integrity of the Polartec fabric, machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the technical fibers and impede breathability. Hang-dry the garment in a well-ventilated area to preserve the elasticity of the cuffs and hem.
