FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The Columbia Puffect III Jacket is water-resistant, meaning it can repel light rain and snow. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy downpours.
What type of insulation does it use?
It uses THERMARATOR INSULATION, which is a performance synthetic insulation made from ultra-fine fibers that provide warmth even when wet.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold with like colors using powder detergent. Tumble dry low with a tennis ball. Do not use fabric softener, bleach, iron, or dry clean.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
For moderate cold, it's excellent. For extreme cold, it's best used as a layering piece with warmer garments underneath.
What does OMNI-SHIELD protect against?
OMNI-SHIELD provides protection against light precipitation and everyday stains, repelling liquids and helping the fabric dry faster.
Are there any internal pockets?
This model description focuses on external features like zippered hand pockets. Please refer to product imagery or specific retail listings for details on internal pockets.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not drying properly.
Ensure it's on a low heat setting during tumble drying and consider adding a tennis ball to help break up clumps of insulation.
Zipper is stiff or stuck.
Gently try to move the zipper. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth.
Reduced water repellency.
The OMNI-SHIELD treatment may have worn off. Consider using a waterproofing spray designed for synthetic fabrics (follow product instructions).
