A robust, storm-ready shell crafted from eco-minded materials and featuring design elements tailored for use in exposed mountain environments.\nBerghaus says:\nThis high-performance waterproof shell packs small and lives large. Strategic use of fabrics gives you major durability without sacrificing weight or movement. And a carefully engineered hood design adds comfort, good visibility, and stability in fierce wind. Your trips back on.\n\nOur Verdict\nBuilt for serious weather and long days in the hills, the Ridge-Seeker offers dependable protection and strong sustainability credentials. This is a hard shell that doesnt shy away from winter use.\nThe Gore-Tex ePE membrane is a significant advantage herethis newer version of Gore-Tex utilises an expanded polyethene film instead of PTFE, providing the same waterproof and breathable performance while eliminating harmful PFCs. At 500g (Mens Medium), its not the lightest in its class, but the three-layer build feels reassuringly rugged. The hood is properly structured and stays in place in the wind, with sufficient volume for a helmet if needed. Pit zips work well for dumping heat, and the two-way front zip gives a bit more flexibility on the move. The fit is on the generous side, especially in the sleeves and cuffs, which work well for layering but may feel bulky if worn alone over a base. Pocket placement could clash with a hipbelt.\n- Reviewed by Ultralight Outdoor Gear\n\nFeatures\n\nTough 3L GORE-TEX is a breathable barrier to any wet weather.\nBodymapped abrasion adds durability to key wear points, without extra bulk.\nA fixed, wired hood with two-point adjustment – it stays put and moves with you.\nEasy access storage for essentials in zipped internal and external chest pockets.\nTwo zipped hand pockets that are compatible with pack or harness.\nPit zips for dumping heat when working hard.
