Full details
This Columbia Watertight™ II Waterproof Jacket is designed for young boys who need reliable protection from the rain.

FAQs
Is this jacket insulated?
No, the Columbia Watertight™ II Waterproof Jacket is not insulated. It is designed as a waterproof shell, intended to keep rain out. For warmth in colder conditions, you will need to wear insulating layers underneath.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold with like colors using powdered detergent. Do not use liquid fabric softeners or bleach. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat. Remove promptly and do not iron or dry clean.
What does 'fully seam-sealed' mean?
Fully seam-sealed means that every stitch and seam on the jacket has been covered with a waterproof tape or coating. This prevents water from leaking through the needle holes at the seams, providing complete waterproof protection.
Are the reflective details durable?
The reflective details are designed to last through normal wear and washing, provided the care instructions are followed. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods that could damage the reflective material.
Can the hood be removed?
No, the hood is attached and adjustable. It is designed to provide comprehensive protection from the elements.
What is the purpose of the mesh lining?
The mesh lining enhances breathability, allowing air to circulate and moisture vapor to escape, which helps to keep the wearer more comfortable and prevents the jacket from feeling sticky against the skin.
How do I adjust the sleeve cuffs?
The sleeve cuffs typically have a hook-and-loop (Velcro) closure or elasticated bands that allow you to adjust the fit snugly around the wrists, preventing water and wind from entering.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof
Ensure the jacket has been washed according to care instructions, using powdered detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish if necessary, following product instructions.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. Apply a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can indicate high humidity or intense activity. Ensure the hood and cuffs are properly adjusted to allow for ventilation. The mesh lining is designed to improve breathability, but extreme conditions may still lead to some moisture buildup.
