  13. Ridgeline are pretty tough. I got mine at the start of lambing time this year and it faired pretty well kept me warm and dry and they are long so you can still keep your knees dry when your kneeling witch is a plus for lambing a ewe outside in the wet or putting down purse nets. Amd they have plenty pockets for stuff also the breast pockets are fleece/faux fur lined so there nice to put your hands in when there cold.
