Berghaus Ridge Hiker Jacket

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Lightweight warmth and breathable comfort, perfect for hill days when you’re on the go.

Berghaus says: 

A jacket that’s at home in the hills. Just like you. Built for performance. Which is a fancy way of saying: it won’t weigh you down. Or let you down. So you can hit the trails hard, stay out longer, later – and have even more fun out there.

Our Verdict

The Berghaus Ridge Hiker Jacket is a sleek, dependable mid-layer that offers warmth and breathability without added weight. Made from Polartec Power Grid fabric, it provides insulation while ensuring top-notch breathability, making it perfect for active days in cooler weather. Weighing just over 300g in most sizes, this jacket is lightweight yet warm enough to serve as an effective layering option.

It features a close, snug fit with elastic cuffs and hem that block drafts while remaining comfortable. Thumb loops help secure the sleeves and offer extra warmth on chilly days. Additionally, the jacket has practical zip pockets—two for your hands and one chest pocket—providing ample space for essentials while keeping a low profile.

While it might require a heavier layer for frigid winter weather, the Ridge Hiker Jacket excels during the shoulder seasons, delivering cosy warmth.
