Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Columbia Puffect III, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can compromise the Omni-Shield repellency.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting. It is recommended to add clean tennis balls or dryer balls to the cycle to help restore the loft of the Thermarator insulation.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing it compressed in a storage bag for long periods to maintain the structure of the baffles.
- Compatibility: The jacket layers well over light sweaters or long-sleeve base layers, but its cropped nature means it is best paired with high-waisted bottoms to ensure proper coverage of the midsection.
