Ridgeline Clothing for Birding use (1 Viewer)

[Ad1]

Does anyone have any experience of using Ridgeline clothing for birding/natural history use?

I am particularly interested in the following:

Any opinions would be gratefully received.

A couple of my friends have this brand of clothing and have gave rave reviews.

I've ordered a Mallard 2 jacket. Seems like a great solution. Perfect for layering in Winter,light enough for the rest of the seasons

It arrived last weekend.

Nice, and it's quiet indeed.

Both measurements are made more or less in the same conditions. 1 m apart from the phone (the sonometer is not calibrated but it's still useful to compare measurements) rubbing the sleeves against my body while wearing the jacket.

The first measurement is a normal mountain jacket. Not a Gore Tex one but similar. Second one, the Ridgeline Mallard jacket.

This is an extreme test, and still the difference is important. The fabric is really silent when you move and, for example, fold your arm, unlike the somewhat stiff outer shell in mountain jackets.

I just tried the Ridgeline Mallard during a walk with unpleasant weather. Wind and rain. Perfectly dry inside.
