Product Information
Full details
This Columbia Watertight 2 Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable rain protection during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is Omni-Tech waterproof and breathable technology, keeping you dry without feeling stuffy. A potential consideration is that while packable, it's a shell layer and may require additional insulation for very cold conditions. Key features include a fully seam-sealed construction for maximum water resistance, an attached adjustable hood, zippered hand pockets for secure storage, and adjustable cuffs and hem for a customized fit.

FAQs
What is Omni-Tech technology?
Omni-Tech is Columbia's proprietary waterproof and breathable technology that provides guaranteed protection from the elements while allowing excess heat and moisture to escape.
Is this jacket insulated?
No, this jacket is a waterproof shell and is not insulated. It is designed to protect you from rain and wind, and can be layered with other garments for warmth.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold with like colors using powder detergent. Do not use fabric softener. Rinse and repeat, then tumble dry low. Do not iron or dry clean.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
While the jacket itself provides wind and rain protection, it is best worn as an outer layer over warm clothing like fleece or down for cold weather. It does not provide insulation on its own.
How do I adjust the hood and hem?
The hood has adjustable drawcords that can be tightened to secure it against your head. The hem also features a drawcord that can be cinched to create a snugger fit around your waist.
What does 'packable into hand pocket' mean?
It means the jacket can be folded down and stuffed into one of its own hand pockets, transforming into a compact package that is easy to store in a backpack or bag.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made of Nylon, featuring Omni-Tech waterproof/breathable technology.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water.
Ensure all seams are properly sealed and that the fabric itself is not damaged. Check that zippers are fully closed. Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if the water is not beading on the surface. Clean the jacket according to care instructions, as dirt can impede performance.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
This can occur in high-exertion activities or very humid conditions. Ensure the jacket is not too tight, allowing for airflow. Check that vents (if present, though this model relies on fabric breathability) are open. Make sure you are wearing moisture-wicking base layers, not cotton.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Clean any debris around the zipper teeth. You can apply a small amount of wax or lubricant specifically designed for zippers if needed.
