FAQs
Is this hoodie waterproof?
The hoodie features Omni-Shield™ advanced repellency, which protects against wind and light rain, as well as stains. It is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy downpours.
How do I wash the hoodie?
Machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach only if needed, and tumble dry on low. Do not iron or dry clean.
What does Omni-Shield™ do?
Omni-Shield™ is a treatment that repels moisture and water-based stains, helping to keep you dry and clean from light rain and everyday messes.
Are the pockets secure?

What is the benefit of the reflective accents?
The reflective Columbia branding and accents increase your visibility in low-light conditions, such as dusk or dawn, enhancing safety.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?

Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away and try zipping again. If still stuck, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax to the teeth.
Water repellency seems reduced
The Omni-Shield™ finish may need a refresh. Follow the care instructions carefully. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade water repellency. Consider using a specialized water-repellent spray after washing if performance has significantly decreased.
Stains are not repelled
While Omni-Shield™ repels most stains, some substances may still penetrate. Wash the garment immediately according to care instructions. For stubborn stains, pre-treat with a mild detergent before washing.
