FAQs
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
The Watertight 2 Jacket is a shell designed for waterproofing and breathability. It does not offer significant insulation and is best layered over warm clothing for cold weather.
How do I wash the jacket?
Machine wash cold with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat. Do not bleach, use fabric softeners, or dry clean.
Can I adjust the hood size?
Yes, the hood is attached and adjustable via a drawcord to ensure a secure fit.
What does 'packable into hand pocket' mean?
It means the entire jacket can be folded and stored inside one of its own hand pockets, making it very compact for travel or storage.
What is Omni-Tech technology?
Omni-Tech is Columbia's proprietary waterproof and breathable technology that keeps outer elements out while allowing internal moisture and heat to escape.
Does this jacket have pit zips for ventilation?
The product description does not mention pit zips. Ventilation relies primarily on the jacket's breathability.
How do I care for the waterproof treatment?
To maintain the water repellency, avoid fabric softeners and dry cleaning. Reapply a DWR treatment if water no longer beads on the surface.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment following product instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before treatment.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free the fabric. If the zipper is stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Seams are leaking
Verify that the jacket is a fully seam-sealed model. If leaks persist through sealed seams, contact Columbia customer support for potential warranty claims or repair options.
Hood adjustment is loose
Ensure the drawcord for the hood is properly tightened. Check that the toggles are functioning correctly and securing the drawcord.
