Full details
The Ridgeline Monsoon Classic Jacket is designed for adult outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, and hikers who require reliable protection in unpredictable weather conditions.

Featuring a silent, brushed polyester exterior, it is the ideal companion for those who need to move quietly through the wilderness without sacrificing durability or comfort.

FAQs
Is the jacket fully waterproof?
Yes, it features a 10,000mm hydrostatic head rating, making it highly effective against heavy rain.
Does the material make noise when I move?
No, it is specifically designed with a silent, brushed outer fabric to ensure stealthy movement.
How should I clean the jacket?
Use a gentle technical detergent in cool water and hang it to dry in the shade.
Is this jacket suitable for summer?
It is quite warm and breathable, but primarily designed for cooler, wet climates.
Can I wear layers underneath?
Yes, the generous New Zealand cut is specifically designed to accommodate layering systems.
What does the 10,000mm rating mean?
It indicates the jacket can withstand the pressure of a 10,000mm column of water before leakage occurs.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads off the outer fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off; apply a specialized DWR spray treatment to the exterior fabric.
Feeling damp inside the jacket during strenuous hiking
Ensure your base layers are moisture-wicking and not cotton. High exertion levels can sometimes outpace the breathability rate.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely quiet outer fabric perfect for hunting
- High waterproof rating for serious weather conditions
- Comfortable fit that accommodates base and mid-layers

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the jacket maintains its performance, avoid using harsh detergents that can degrade the waterproof membrane. It is recommended to wash the jacket in cool water with a mild technical cleaner. Always hang to dry in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight or high-heat sources which can damage the waterproofing treatments.
Regarding compatibility, the "New Zealand cut" is designed to provide enough internal volume for base layers and a fleece or sweater. If you typically wear a specific size, you will likely find the jacket fits true to size, even with standard hiking layers underneath.
