Product Information
Full details
The Columbia Timber Crest MTR Fleece Hoodie is an ideal mid-layer for adult men who need a reliable, comfortable garment for city commuting and casual outdoor activities. It excels at trapping body heat using specialized thermal fabric while offering enough water repellency to handle light rain, though it is not intended to serve as a replacement for a waterproof shell in heavy downpours.

FAQs
Is this hoodie waterproof?
No, it features a water-repellent finish for light rain and drizzle, but it is not seam-sealed or waterproof.
Can I wear this as a winter jacket?
It serves best as a warm mid-layer. You may need a windproof or waterproof outer shell if temperatures are freezing or windy.
How should I wash my MTR fleece?
Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Do not use fabric softener, and tumble dry on low heat.
Does the hood provide good coverage?
Yes, the hood includes a drawcord adjustment so you can tighten it against your face for added wind protection.
What is MTR fabric?
MTR stands for Mountain Thermal Range, which is Columbia's proprietary fleece designed for high warmth and low bulk.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking in instead of beading off
The water-repellent finish may be wearing off; wash the garment to remove dirt and consider reapplying a technical fabric DWR treatment.
Elastic cuffs feel loose
Avoid high-heat drying, which can degrade the elastic. If they remain loose, avoid stretching the openings excessively when putting on the hoodie.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio
- Effective at repelling light rain and drizzle
- Highly versatile for both urban and outdoor settings
- Soft, comfortable material
- Practical storage in the kangaroo pocket
Cons
- Not waterproof for heavy rain conditions
- Limited to casual/everyday style
- Requires careful washing to maintain water-repellent finish
Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a pullover hoodie, setup is minimal—simply wear it as a mid-layer under a heavier coat or as an outer layer in dry, cool conditions. For care, it is recommended to machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle. To maintain the effectiveness of the water-repellent finish, avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and interfere with the silicone encapsulation. Tumble dry on low heat or hang-dry to preserve the elastic integrity of the cuffs and waistband.
