FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for winter use?

The Arcadia II Jacket is primarily a rain shell. It is not insulated, making it best for mild to cool, wet weather. For colder conditions, layer it over warm mid-layers like fleece or down.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach and do not iron or dry clean.

What does 'waterproof and breathable' mean for this jacket?

It means the jacket prevents external water (like rain) from entering while allowing internal moisture (like sweat vapor) to escape, helping you stay dry and comfortable from both the outside and inside.

Can I pack this jacket into its pocket?

Yes, the jacket is designed to be lightweight and packable. It can be folded and stored within one of its hand pockets for easy transport.

What material is the jacket made of?

The outer shell is made of 100% nylon 2L full dull plain weave fabric, and it features a soft mesh lining.

Does this jacket have pit zips for ventilation?

The Columbia Arcadia II Jacket typically does not feature pit zips. Ventilation relies on the breathability of the fabric and opening the main zipper or cuffs.

Where can I find other colors or sizes?

While this guide focuses on the White - M variant, other colors and sizes are available from Columbia retailers. Please check product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not fully waterproof after some use.

Ensure all zippers are fully closed. Check for any damage to the fabric or seams. Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if the fabric appears to be wetting out.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper. If it snags on fabric, carefully try to free the fabric. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if needed.

Jacket feels clammy inside.

This can indicate the breathable membrane is working to release moisture. Ensure you are not overheating by removing layers if necessary. Check that the jacket's vents (if any) are open and that the mesh lining is not excessively saturated.

Fit is too loose or too tight.

Utilize the adjustable storm hood and drawcord adjustable hem to achieve a better fit. If the overall fit is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
