FAQs
Is the Arcadia II Jacket insulated?
No, it is a shell jacket designed to be lightweight and packable. It does not provide thermal insulation, so layering is recommended for cold weather.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, it is machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners.
What is the primary material used?
The jacket is constructed from high-quality, durable nylon.
Is the hood detachable?
The hood is an integrated adjustable storm hood designed for maximum protection and is not detachable.
Does it have internal pockets?
The Arcadia II features zippered hand pockets on the exterior for secure storage.
How do I maintain the waterproof performance?
Keep the jacket clean, as dirt and oil can block the breathable pores. Periodically re-treat the outer fabric with a DWR spray if water stops beading up.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to soak through the fabric
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need refreshing. Tumble dry on low heat or use a specialized DWR re-application spray to restore water beading.
Zipper feels stiff or stuck
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Use a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if the track remains difficult to pull.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your Columbia Arcadia II, ensure the drawcords are adjusted for your comfort before heading out into the elements. The jacket is compatible with layering; because it is a shell, it is recommended to wear a fleece or mid-layer underneath during colder seasons. For care, wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the waterproof coating. Hang to dry, and avoid high-heat ironing or dry cleaning.
