Product Information

Full details

The Ridgeline Mens Monsoon Classic Smock is designed for individuals who need reliable protection against challenging wet and windy weather, whether for outdoor work or adventure. Its key benefit is providing a fully waterproof, highly breathable, and windproof barrier that ensures comfort in harsh conditions. A potential caveat is its overhead design, which may require adjustment for some users. This re-engineered smock features a durable 3-layer construction with a silent, brushed polyester outer, a PU membrane, a DWR finish, and fully taped seams, offering advanced protection and comfort.

FAQs

Is this smock suitable for very cold weather?

The smock provides excellent windproof and waterproof protection, making it a great outer layer. For very cold weather, layer insulating mid-layers underneath to adjust warmth as needed.

How do I know if my DWR needs reapplying?

Perform a simple water test: sprinkle some water on the fabric. If the water beads up and rolls off, the DWR is working. If the water soaks into the fabric, it's time to reapply a DWR treatment.

Can I tumble dry the smock?

It is best to air dry the smock away from direct heat. Tumble drying can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR coating.

What does 'New Zealand cut' refer to?

The 'New Zealand cut' typically refers to a design that offers a generous fit for ease of movement and layering, often with a scooped back for enhanced coverage.

Is the hood detachable or roll-away?

The smock features a roll-away hood, allowing you to stow it neatly when not needed.

What is the primary difference between this and a jacket?

This is a smock, meaning it's an overhead garment with a more generous, protective cut, unlike a jacket which typically has a full front opening zipper.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping through fabric

Ensure the DWR treatment is active by checking if water beads on the surface. If not, reapply a DWR treatment. Also, check that all seams are fully taped and intact.

Reduced breathability (feeling clammy inside)

Clean the garment thoroughly with a technical cleaner to remove dirt and oils that can clog the membrane's pores. Ensure the inner lining is also clean.

Zip is stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zip teeth with a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a wax specifically designed for zippers to ensure smooth operation.

Hood is not fitting securely

Adjust the drawcords at the front and rear of the hood to achieve a snug, secure fit. Ensure the wired brim is correctly shaped.

Pros and Cons

  • Practical storage solutions
  • Effective weather sealing at hood and cuffs

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Ridgeline Mens Monsoon Classic Smock is an overhead garment designed for immediate use. Adjust the wired hood using its 3-point adjustment system for a secure fit. Tighten the drawcord at the waist and secure the Velcro cuffs to seal out the elements. Ensure the storm flap over the front zip is properly fastened.

Compatibility: This smock is designed as outerwear and can be layered over base layers and mid-layers for varying temperatures. It is suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities.

Care: To maintain its waterproof and breathable performance, clean the smock regularly.

  1. Close all zips and Velcro fastenings.
  2. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical outdoor cleaner (e.g., Grangers, Nikwax) at 30-40°C.
  3. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, as these can impair the fabric's performance.
  4. Rinse thoroughly.
  5. Air dry away from direct heat sources.
  6. Periodically re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to the outer fabric following the product's instructions to ensure water beads off the surface.
