The Hurricane Ridge being available "only" in 42mm is a consequence of the weird Rene Herse naming scheme. In any other catalog, the 700x38 Steilacoom would be considered a narrower version of the same tire. The 650x42 Pumpkin Ridge and 650x48 Juniper Ridge are in the same boat.
The curious omission is that there's no 26er equivalent... I don't know whether any demand actually exists, but it seems like almost every single tire request that RH gets on social media is for a Rat Trap Pass-sized (i.e. 26x2.1) knobby.
I still haven't gotten around to trying any of the RH knobbies, although the people I know who've used them seem impressed. I might try the 650x48 once my new bike has fully oozed its way into existence.
