Product Information
Full details
The Columbia Watertight II Jacket is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts and commuters who need reliable, lightweight weather protection. Featuring Omni-Tech proprietary technology, this jacket offers a highly effective barrier against rain while maintaining breathability to ensure comfort during active use. While it provides excellent protection from the elements, users should note that as a dedicated shell, it does not include an insulated lining, meaning it is best used as an outer layer in a layering system for colder temperatures.

Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the outer fabric
The DWR finish may be wearing off; wash and tumble dry on low to reactivate, or apply a spray-on waterproofing treatment.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move
Check for debris or fabric caught in the teeth; clean with a soft brush and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your Columbia Watertight II, ensure the jacket is fully zipped and the hem drawcord is adjusted to your preferred tension before heading out into harsh weather. For cleaning, machine wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle, preferably using a technical fabric cleaner. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the waterproof coating. To maintain the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, the jacket should be tumble dried on low heat, which helps reactivate the performance properties of the outer fabric.
