FAQs

Is this jacket warm enough on its own?

The Trailborne™ jacket is a waterproof shell, meaning it primarily protects from rain and wind. It offers minimal insulation. For warmth, it is designed to be layered over base and mid-layers appropriate for the temperature.

How do I reapply the DWR treatment?

You can reapply DWR (Durable Water Repellent) using a spray-on or wash-in treatment specifically designed for waterproof outerwear. Follow the product instructions carefully for best results. This helps water bead up and roll off the fabric.

Can this jacket be used for high-exertion activities like running?

Yes, its lightweight and breathable design makes it suitable for high-exertion activities. However, to maximize comfort, ensure you are layering appropriately and opening vents or zippers as needed to manage heat.

What does '2.5L' refer to in the product name?

'2.5L' refers to the fabric construction, indicating a 2-layer fabric with an added protective layer or scrim on the inside. This offers a balance of waterproofness, breathability, and durability while keeping the weight down.

How do I check if the jacket is still waterproof?

To check its waterproofness, pour a small amount of water onto the fabric. If the water beads up and rolls off, the DWR treatment is still effective. If the water soaks into the fabric, it's time to reapply the DWR treatment.

What is the warranty period for this jacket?

Columbia typically offers a limited warranty on their products against defects in materials and workmanship. For specific warranty details, please refer to the official Columbia website or contact their customer service.

Troubleshooting

Water is seeping through the fabric.

Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the hood/cuffs/hem are adjusted correctly. Check for any damage to the fabric. If the fabric is older, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may need reapplication.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently pull the zipper while ensuring the fabric is not caught. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Jacket feels clammy on the inside.

This can occur if there is high humidity or perspiration buildup. Ensure the jacket is properly ventilated by opening zippers if conditions allow. The jacket's breathability may be reduced by dirt; clean according to care instructions.

  • Lightweight and easily packable for travel or hiking.
  • Adjustable features (cuffs, hem) allow for a personalized fit.
  • Durable polyester material designed for outdoor use.

Cons

  • Limited insulation; best suited as an outer shell in mild to cool temperatures.

  • Only two exterior pockets, which might be insufficient for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: This jacket is designed as an outerwear shell. It is compatible with various base and mid-layers made of synthetic or wool materials for added warmth in cooler conditions. It pairs well with hiking pants and boots for a complete outdoor ensemble.

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Use a non-chlorine bleach only when needed.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry low or hang dry.
  3. Avoid: Do not iron, use fabric softeners, or dry clean, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and fabric.
