Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket insulated?

No, the Ridge-Master is a technical shell designed to provide protection against the elements and should be worn over insulating layers.

How do I wash my Ridge-Master jacket?

Use a specialized technical gear cleaner. Avoid using fabric softeners or standard detergents, as these can strip the waterproof coating.

Can I wear a climbing helmet under the hood?

Yes, the hood is fully adjustable and specifically designed to be compatible with climbing and mountain helmets.

What is the hydrostatic head rating?

The jacket features a 19,000mm hydrostatic head rating, providing robust protection in heavy, sustained rain.

Are the pockets accessible while wearing a backpack?

Yes, the hand pockets are positioned higher than standard jacket pockets so they remain accessible while wearing a backpack waist belt or climbing harness.

Troubleshooting

Water stops beading on the surface of the jacket

The DWR coating has likely worn off; wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR treatment spray, then heat-set per instructions.

Feeling damp inside the jacket despite no leaks

This is often caused by trapped perspiration; ensure you are using the underarm vents during high-output movement and adjust your layering system to be less bulky.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent breathability for high-intensity trekking
  • Highly durable construction with a strong strength-to-weight ratio
  • Versatile storage options including internal bellows pockets
  • Full range of motion enabled by articulated design
  • Superior protection against heavy rain and wind

Cons

  • Not an insulated jacket, requires base and mid-layers for warmth
  • Technical fit may feel snug if wearing bulky sweaters underneath
  • Requires regular maintenance to keep the DWR coating effective

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Hydroshell Elite fabric, keep the garment clean from dirt and oils that can clog the membrane. Use a technical cleaner specifically designed for waterproof membranes rather than standard laundry detergents. To maintain the jacket's waterproof performance, re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after washing once the outer fabric stops beading water. Always secure all zips and adjusters before washing to prevent snagging. Hang the jacket to air dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the waterproofing.
