Ridgeline clothing

[provarmint]

Anybody had experience of this waterproof clothing ? Looking at the Roar II and Monsoon II jackets.

Thanks.

i have a roar jacket - 100% waterproof and windproof, hood is like a neck brace when folded away. great for highseat work, kill something and try to drag or carry it and you will be sweating like a .......

 

i was given mine, wouldnt buy one but wouldnt get rid of it either, worth the space it takes up but i would spend more if i were looking for a new jacket.

as above the collar is rather neck brace like when hood folded up

 

and not too breathable....

 

 

but

 

bloody hell its waterproof and for 85 quid ish all in from opticswarehouse

 

 

its not a £400 jacket so shouldnt be compared to one

 

but certainly worth 85 quid in my opinion

 

wear mine beating ina downpour or out on the mud with the semi-auto at the geese and bone dry

Ridgeline is just "another hunting clothing brand" in NZ. Certainly nothing exotic.

I have two or three pieces from memory

I had a swazi (which the ridgeline are an 'extremely' close copy of (I mean tribute to )).

 

On the Swazi, which is legendary for some reason; I found the cut all wrong.

Tight across the back and loose across the front & hood not tall enough. A coat for mutants with small heads

 

I tried a ridgeline on at a local shop - I think the cut was waay better.

But, the basic ridgeline (torrent) isn't, I believe, actually sold as being breathable.

(think it has '-tex' in the name -but read the blurb carefully)

 

For me...the green is too dark -you'll stand out as a black blob at distance;

 

 

and as for the 'buffalo cam' well....it's just full-on stupid : white & bright enough for the arctic spring or fall , and little piccies of buffalo faces all over it

 

Works well here........ on snow
