Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The Berghaus Ridge Hiker Hoody, made with Polartec Power Grid fabric, offers warmth and breathability for hill hiking.

Berghaus says: 

A versatile mid-layer that’s at home in the mountains. From sidewalks to summits and everywhere in between, the Ridge-Hiker Hoody is the perfect layering piece. The hood is ready to protect you from elements. And with zip-pockets and convenient thumb-loops, every detail is dialled in. 

Our Verdict

Thanks to the Polartec Power Grid fabric, the Berghaus Ridge Hiker Hoody provides warmth without bulk. This material is known for balancing breathability with insulation, making it ideal for keeping comfortable working hard in the hills.

The elasticated cuffs, hem, and hood offer a snug, well-tailored fit that helps reduce wind chill. Thumb loops keep sleeves in place for added comfort. The zip pockets—one chest and two side—are well-sized for keeping essentials close at hand without unnecessary bulk.

While it may not be the warmest for full winter use, the Ridge Hiker Hoody is a reliable layering piece. Its lightweight, flexible fabric is comfortable enough to wear all day.
