Product Information

Full details

The Columbia Spire Valley™ Novelty Hooded Windbreaker is designed for adults seeking reliable protection against unpredictable weather. Its key benefit is the Omni-Shield™ technology, which repels moisture and stains, keeping you comfortable and dry during outdoor activities. A potential caveat is its regular fit, which may not be ideal for those preferring a very snug or very loose silhouette. This windbreaker features a water and wind-repellent nylon construction, a drawcord adjustable hood, zipped hand pockets, a front zip closure, and elasticated cuffs, all wrapped in a stylish treebark-inspired geometric pattern.

FAQs

What is Omni-Shield™ technology?

Omni-Shield™ is an advanced repellency technology that resists moisture and stains. It helps liquids bead up and roll off the fabric surface, keeping the garment cleaner and drier.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The Spire Valley™ Novelty Windbreaker is designed for protection against light to moderate rain and wind. For heavy downpours, a dedicated waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

How do I determine my size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Columbia Sportswear. The description notes a 'regular fit, take your usual size'.

Can I machine wash this windbreaker?

Yes, it is machine washable in cold water with like colours. Avoid using fabric softeners.

What are the primary materials used in this jacket?

The jacket is made from 100% Nylon.

Does the hood have any adjustments?

Yes, the hood is drawcord adjustable, allowing you to customize the fit for better protection.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets are zipped for security, but the fabric itself is water-repellent, not fully waterproof. It is recommended to keep sensitive electronics in a waterproof pouch if rain is heavy.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

The Omni-Shield™ treatment may need refreshing. Clean the garment according to care instructions and then apply a DWR treatment spray or wash.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or wax to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Elastic cuffs feel loose.

While the elastic is designed for comfort and fit, prolonged stretching or age can reduce its tension. Ensure the cuffs are not overly stretched when putting on or taking off the jacket.

Garment has wrinkles after washing/drying.

Tumble dry on a low setting with a damp cloth for a short period, or iron on a very low setting using a pressing cloth, avoiding direct contact with the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This windbreaker requires no assembly. Simply unpack and wear.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, this windbreaker is intended to be worn as an outer layer over shirts, sweaters, or fleeces. Its regular fit accommodates various base layers.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with like colours. Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the water-repellent properties.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric and affect the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
  3. Re-treating Water Repellency: Over time, the water repellency may diminish. You can restore it by using a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel, following the product's instructions.
