Product Information

Full details

This Columbia Spire Valley™ Printed Hooded Windbreaker is designed for adult females seeking urban style with practical outdoor protection. Its key benefit is offering advanced repellency for breezy, drizzly days while maintaining a fashionable look. A potential consideration is that while it offers protection from wind and light rain, it is not a fully waterproof jacket. Key features include an adjustable hood and hem for a customizable fit, and a back venting system for enhanced comfort and breathability.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

No, this windbreaker features advanced repellency for light rain and drizzle. It is not fully waterproof and is best suited for protection against wind and moderate moisture.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the Columbia Sportswear size chart available on their official website or the retailer's product page. Compare your measurements to ensure the best fit, paying attention to chest and waist measurements.

Can I machine wash this windbreaker?

Yes, you can machine wash it cold with like colors. Avoid using chlorine bleach. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly.

What does the back venting system do?

The back venting system allows for improved airflow and breathability, helping to regulate your body temperature and keep you comfortable during activity or in warmer conditions.

How often should I reapply the DWR treatment?

The frequency depends on usage and exposure. Generally, reapply DWR treatment when you notice water is no longer beading up and rolling off the fabric surface during normal wear.

What is the main benefit of the adjustable hood and hem?

These features allow you to customize the fit, helping to seal out wind and keep you warmer and drier. You can tighten them to create a snugger fit when needed.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the teeth.

Water repellency seems reduced.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need refreshing. Follow the care instructions to wash the garment and consider applying a DWR re-treatment spray or wash, available at most outdoor gear retailers.

Garment feels less breathable.

Check the back venting system for any obstructions. Ensure the garment is not layered too heavily underneath for the current conditions. A thorough wash can also help restore breathability.
