- Is the Kruser Ridge III waterproof?
- It is water-repellent, not fully waterproof. It sheds drizzle and light showers, but the fabric wets out in sustained rain, so carry a hardshell for wet days.
- How does it fit?
- It has a straight, regular cut and most owners say it runs true to size. It leaves room for a light fleece or sweater underneath.
- Is it warm enough for winter?
- No. It is an uninsulated shell, so treat it as a wind-and-drizzle layer over a fleece or sweater in cold weather.
- Does it have a hood?
- No, it has a high collar but no hood. Pair it with a hat or a hooded layer when wind and rain pick up.
- What is the difference from the Kruser Ridge II?
- The III keeps the same softshell formula with updated fabric and details. If you already own the II and it still fits well, the upgrade is minor.
- What pockets does it have?
- It has zippered hand pockets. They are fine for keys, a phone or a trail snack, not for bulky items.
