Columbia Tech™ II Full Zip Hooded Windbreaker - Black - S

This windbreaker is ideal for light rain, wind, and cool conditions. It is not designed as a heavy-duty insulator for extreme cold.

Avoid using fabric softeners during washing and tumble dry on low heat periodically to help reactivate the treatment. Reapplication of a DWR spray may be needed over time.

The jacket features Omni-Shield™ advanced repellency, making it water-resistant, not fully waterproof. It can handle rain and splashes but is not intended for prolonged immersion in water.

Yes, its lightweight design allows for layering. For colder weather, pair it with a fleece or insulated mid-layer. However, ensure the fit remains comfortable.

The reflective details are designed for durability under normal wear and washing conditions. Avoid direct ironing on these areas to preserve their reflectivity.

This guide is for the 'S' size. Please refer to the product listing or retailer for other available sizes such as Medium (L), XL, and XXL.

Wash the jacket using a technical fabric wash and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the DWR finish. If performance is still lacking, consider applying a re-treatment spray according to its instructions.

Ensure the ventilation areas are not blocked. If the fabric itself feels clogged, a gentle wash with mild detergent may help restore breathability.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) applied to the teeth can help lubricate it.

For fresh stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth. For tougher stains, pre-treat with a stain remover suitable for synthetic fabrics and wash as per care instructions. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
