Discontinued Columbia Waterproof Amped vs Newton Ridge Plus: Versus Fit... Buyers Seek Breathable Grip Now
Excerpt:
We recently revisited the Columbia Women’s Discontinued Newton Ridge Plus Waterproof Amped, comparing it against its successor, the Waterproof Amped. While the original was beloved for its robust waterproofing, we found the fit to be slightly less forgiving, with stiff shoulders and a restrictive waist despite its technical design.遗憾的是, the material—once praised for durability—has lost its sought-after breathability, leaving us feeling trapped in wet conditions.
In contrast, the newer version strikes a better balance, offering a more tailored and ventilated fit. Our preference leans toward the updated design, though the discontinued Amped still has a loyal following for its classic look. If we’re compromise between holding retro style and modern functionality, we’ll go buy the newer model. But for those cravings breathability grip our preference clear.
