FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for winter mountaineering?

Yes, it provides excellent protection against snow and wind. However, ensure you wear adequate thermal insulation underneath, as the jacket shell itself is not insulated.

Can I wash the Ridge-Master in a regular washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash it on a gentle cycle, but you must use a technical cleaner instead of standard laundry detergent to avoid damaging the waterproof membrane.

Does the hood adjust to fit without a helmet?

Yes, the hood features drawcord adjustments that allow you to cinch it down for a secure fit, even when you are not wearing a helmet.

What is the primary difference between this and a light rain jacket?

The Ridge-Master uses more durable fabric and features articulated construction, making it significantly more resistant to the abrasion and stresses of technical climbing and trekking.

Are the zippers waterproof?

The jacket uses high-quality water-resistant zippers designed to keep moisture out of the pockets and the main body.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to be soaking into the outer fabric

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and re-apply a DWR waterproofing spray.

Internal condensation buildup during activity

Increase airflow by utilizing the underarm zip vents and adjust your layering system to avoid wearing too much insulation for the intensity of the activity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior waterproof performance via Hydroshell Elite technology
  • Excellent freedom of movement due to articulated arm construction
  • Highly breathable with adjustable underarm ventilation
  • Versatile hood design accommodates climbing helmets
  • Robust material build quality for long-term trail use

Cons

  • Provides no inherent insulation, requiring appropriate layering
  • More substantial weight compared to lightweight packable rain shells
  • Stiffer fabric feel may be less comfortable for casual everyday wear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity and performance of your Ridge-Master Jacket, follow these guidelines:

  1. Layering: Wear a moisture-wicking base layer and a thermal mid-layer to optimize the moisture management capabilities of the jacket.
  2. Cleaning: Wash in cold water using a technical gear cleaner specifically designed for waterproof membranes. Avoid using standard detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the durable water repellent (DWR) coating.
  3. Re-proofing: If you notice water no longer beads on the surface of the fabric, apply a DWR spray treatment once the garment is clean and dry.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place on a hanger. Avoid leaving the jacket compressed in a wet state for long periods to prevent degradation of the seam taping.
