FAQs
What does Omni-Tech™ waterproof mean?
Omni-Tech™ is Columbia's proprietary waterproof and breathable technology. It provides a barrier against moisture while allowing internal perspiration vapor to escape, keeping you dry and comfortable in wet conditions.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This jacket is a shell, meaning it provides protection from rain and wind but has minimal insulation. It is best suited for layering over warmer clothing in cold weather, or worn on its own in milder, wet conditions.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold with like colors using powdered detergent. Do not use fabric softener, bleach, or iron. Tumble dry on low and remove promptly. Do not dry clean.
Can I adjust the hood?
Yes, the hood is attached and features peripheral adjustability, allowing you to customize its fit to keep rain out effectively.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester, offering an eco-friendly option.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are zippered and have bonded openings, which help to keep the contents dry from light splashes or rain. However, they are not designed to be submerged.
What size should I order?
The jacket features a regular fit and is available in multiple sizes (XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL). Refer to standard sizing charts for women's apparel to determine the best fit for you. The adjustable features can help fine-tune the fit.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reapplication. Ensure the jacket is clean before reapplication. Follow product instructions for DWR sprays or washes. Check that all seams are still sealed.
Water is seeping through seams.
Verify that all seams were properly sealed during manufacturing. If there's a defect, contact customer support. Ensure the jacket is not damaged.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Apply a wax-based lubricant (like a graphite pencil or specialized zipper lubricant) to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Fit feels too loose or allows drafts.
Utilize the adjustable features. Tighten the drawcord at the hem, cinch the hood peripheral adjustability, and secure the adjustable cuffs to create a snugger fit and block out wind and rain.
