FAQs
What is Omni-Tech technology?
Omni-Tech is Columbia's proprietary waterproof and breathable technology that provides protection from the elements while allowing perspiration vapor to escape, keeping you dry inside and out.
Is this jacket insulated?
No, this jacket is not insulated. It is a waterproof shell designed to be layered over other clothing for warmth.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The jacket is designed for a regular fit and generally runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual size. Refer to the product description for specific measurements like Center Back Length.
Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?
Yes, the jacket features Omni-Tech waterproof/breathable technology and is fully seam sealed, making it suitable for moderate to heavy rain.
What does 'fully seam sealed' mean?
It means that every seam on the jacket has been taped and sealed to prevent water from leaking through the stitching, significantly enhancing its waterproof capabilities.
How do I care for the recycled polyester material?
The jacket is machine washable. Follow the care label instructions, typically using cold water and mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or air dry.
Can this jacket be worn for activities other than hiking?
Yes, its versatile design and protection make it suitable for various outdoor activities like walking, camping, and casual everyday wear in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not fully waterproof anymore.
The DWR finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment according to the product’s instructions.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
This can occur during high exertion. Ensure the hood and hem are adjusted for ventilation and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers underneath.
Fabric has lost its stiffness or feels stiff.
Follow the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid high heat in drying, which can degrade the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This jacket requires no setup. Simply unpack it and wear it. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before use.
Compatibility: Designed for adult males, this jacket functions as an outer shell. It can be layered over mid-layers like fleece or sweaters for added warmth. It is suitable for general outdoor activities, hiking, walking, and casual wear.
Care Instructions:
- Machine Washable: Follow the washing instructions on the care label carefully. Typically, this involves washing in cold water with mild detergent.
- Detergent: Use a liquid detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the waterproof treatment.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric and its water-repellent properties.
- Re-waterproofing: Periodically, you may need to reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish to maintain optimal water resistance. This can be done using commercial re-waterproofing sprays or washes, following the product's instructions.
