Ridgeline Fleeces & Hoodies


Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Ridgeline Narvik fleece warm enough for winter?

Yes, as a mid-layer. The Narvik is 200gsm polyester fleece, warm on its own on dry autumn days and ideal under a waterproof once winter sets in. The high collar blocks wind on your neck, and the neck zip lets you cool down when you're working hard. For the coldest days, wear it under the Monsoon Classic Smock or Rhea Jacket.

How do you wash a Ridgeline fleece without it pilling?

Wash it inside out on a cool, gentle cycle with a mild detergent, and leave out the fabric softener. Keep fleece away from rough items like jeans and towels, and do up any Velcro on other clothes in the load, as both cause friction that leads to pilling. Air dry instead of tumble drying to keep the fibres soft.

What is the difference between the Narvik fleece and the Tribe hoodie?

The Narvik is a lightweight polyester mid-layer, and the Tribe is a heavier cotton and polyester hoodie. The Narvik dries fast and sits neatly under a waterproof, so it suits wet working days. The Tribe has a hood, a scooped back and a kangaroo pocket, which makes it the better outer layer on cold, dry days and weekends.

Is the Ridgeline Tribe hoodie good for working outdoors?

Yes. Ridgeline designed the Tribe as a working hoodie, with a scooped back that keeps your lower back covered when you bend to pick out feet or fill buckets. The quarter zip lets you vent heat during heavy jobs, and the zipped security pocket inside the kangaroo pouch keeps your phone and keys safe.
