FAQs
What is the hydrostatic head rating of this jacket?
The Ridgeline Torrent Jacket has a hydrostatic head rating of 10,000mm, indicating its high level of waterproofness.
How breathable is this jacket?
The jacket offers a Moisture Vapour Transmission Rate (MVTR) of 5,000g/m²/24hrs, providing good breathability for general outdoor activities.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
Yes, the jacket is windproof and can be layered over warm clothing to provide protection against cold and wet conditions. It functions best as an outer shell.
How should I maintain the water-repellent treatment?
The jacket features a DWR (Durable Water-Repellent) treatment. To maintain its effectiveness, wash the jacket according to instructions and reactivate the DWR by tumble drying on a low heat setting. You can also reapply a DWR spray periodically.
Is this jacket suitable for high-exertion activities like trail running?
While the jacket is breathable, its rating is moderate. For very high-exertion activities where significant sweat is produced, you might find a jacket with a higher MVTR rating more suitable to prevent internal moisture buildup.
What does the 2-layer construction mean?
A 2-layer construction typically means the waterproof/breathable membrane is bonded to the outer fabric, with a separate loose mesh or nylon lining inside. This offers good durability and comfort but may be slightly less packable or breathable than 3-layer designs.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the DWR treatment is still effective. If the DWR has worn off, reapply a DWR treatment and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate. Check seams for any damage.
Inner fabric feels damp or clammy
This can occur during high-intensity activity where perspiration exceeds the breathability rate. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers. For lower intensity, check that the DWR treatment is intact and the jacket is clean, as dirt can impede breathability.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a brush and warm water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.
Jacket smells musty
Wash the jacket according to the care instructions using a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
