Ridgeline TShirt, Top & Fleece Vest

Ridgeline TShirt, Top & Fleece Vest

Though Ridgeline Clothing has a comprehensive range of quality apparel, many people mainly associate them with heavy-duty outerwear such as jackets, trousers and smocks. However, like all clothing companies, they offer the full gamut of garments for the outdoors.

I’ve cherry-picked three new garments that you’d class as lighter wear – the Microlite Quarter Zip Top, the Whanau T-Shirt and the Hybrid Fleece Vest.

Close contact

First up is the Microlite Quarter Zip Top. This longsleeved top is manufactured using a soft brushed knit polyester technical breathable grid fabric with an anti-bacterial finish.

The importance of a brushed fabric is that it’s an extremely soft and comfortable technofabric that is especially pleasant when worn in direct contact with the skin. The soft brushing process also enhances the thermal insulation properties. Plus, the importance of a knitted polyester fabric means it’s strong, durable, weather resistant and fast drying.

The ‘grid’ denotation refers to the stitch pattern, which enhances the style of the garment. It has a loose weave and in combination with the build and materials used, results in good breathability and wearer comfort.

The Microlite has a ¼ zip high neck to help regulate body temperature, plus has an anti-bacterial finish to minimise body odour and reduce the amount of washing required. There is also a wicking finish to draw sweat away from the body, meaning you stay comfortable on the move and the top also carries a UPF+ sun protection rating. It is available in a DIRT Camo digital camouflage pattern and Olive.

Wanna what?

Next up is the Whanau T-Shirt and as it’s manufactured from the same technical brushed-backed fabrics as the Microlite, it boasts most of the same attributes, but obviously its short sleeves suit even warmer weather.

Made to the same exacting standards, the Whanau is a great everyday piece that can be worn in the warmer months and as a base layer when the weather is cooler. This stylish and modern quick-drying shirt is soft and comfortable to wear. It’s available in DIRT Camo with contrasting Olive Green side panels.

Completely armless

Last but not least is the Ridgeline Hybrid Fleece Vest. Although a completely different garment, it’s still what you’d class as lightweight, and also useful for the times a tad more protection is required. This hybrid soft-shell/fleece has a scooped long back and skirt clinch, plus a full zip opening and a high collar. The contrasting Olive/Navy colour scheme gives it stylish appeal, but it’s still built to be as practical as it is functional.

At times, not having extra coverage over the arms is beneficial, especially when you need to move and work freely while keeping your upper half warm and protected. The combination of soft shell and fleece gives ruggedness and warmth all in one. Storage is catered for by 2x zipped chest pockets and 2x zipped hand warmer pockets. All the zips have pull assists. Overall, it’s a vest that’ll keep your body core warm whilst at the same time allowing you to carry the essentials you need.
