As you’d expect from Ridgeline, though, we haven’t skimped on either technology or features.

This classic field jacket is 100% waterproof, completely windproof, highly breathable and totally silent.

It features a large, detachable hood with a deep, wired peak for protection in the heaviest rain and harshest winds. The full-length front opening features a two-way zip and is protected by a thick storm flap.

Two hand-warmer pockets, mounted high, give you somewhere to warm up your hands between jobs. At the waist there are two large cargo pockets with a side-entry option.

Underneath the storm flap, there’s a large zipped pocket and, on the inside, you’ll find two further zipped storage pockets.

An internal waist adjuster, elastic hem drawcords and Velcro-adjustable cuffs combine to seal in the heat and fine-tune the fit.
