It is the perfect companion for drizzly commutes, park walks, and casual errands, though it is intended for light precipitation rather than heavy, prolonged downpours.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant, meaning it will repel light rain and splashes. It is not designed to be fully waterproof in heavy, prolonged downpours.
Does this jacket have a hood?
The Columbia Puffect IV Padded Jacket is a hoodless design, prioritizing a clean, urban aesthetic.
Can I use this for skiing?
While it provides warmth, it lacks specific ski-ready features like a powder skirt or lift pass pocket. It is best suited for casual, everyday urban use.
What is the best way to clean it?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, use mild detergent, and tumble dry low with dryer balls.
Is the insulation real down?
No, it uses Thermarator, which is a synthetic insulation designed to mimic the loft and softness of down while remaining effective when damp.
How does the sizing run?
It follows a regular fit. If you plan to layer thick clothing underneath, we recommend sticking to your standard size or checking the specific garment measurements.
Troubleshooting
Water begins soaking into the fabric surface.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Apply a wash-in or spray-on DWR revitalizing treatment to restore the water-shedding properties.
Insulation feels clumped after washing.
Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with dryer balls for 20-30 minutes to fluff the synthetic fill and break up any clumps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a technical synthetic garment, proper care will extend its lifespan. For cleaning, machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle in cold water using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the water-resistant treatment. Tumble dry on low heat, ideally with a clean tennis ball or dryer ball to help redistribute the synthetic insulation and maintain its loft. When storing, hang the jacket in a cool, dry place to ensure the material remains breathable. It is compatible with most mid-layers, though due to its regular fit, it works best over thin knits or base layers rather than bulky sweaters.
