Columbia Spire Valley™ Novelty Hooded Windbreaker - Geometric Pattern - Size M

The Spire Valley™ Novelty Windbreaker features Omni-Shield™ advanced repellency, which is designed to repel water and stains, making it resistant to light rain. It is not a fully waterproof jacket and may not withstand heavy downpours.

Its primary purpose is to provide protection against wind and light precipitation, while also offering a degree of stain resistance and a distinctive style.

The jacket has a regular fit. It is recommended to take your usual size. Refer to Columbia's size chart for specific measurements if unsure.

This windbreaker is lightweight and designed for protection against wind and light moisture. For colder weather, it is best layered over warmer insulating clothing like fleece or down.

Follow the care instructions by washing gently. Over time, water repellency can be restored using specialized wash-in or spray-on treatments for outdoor apparel.

The 'Novelty' refers to the unique geometric treebark-inspired pattern design of the windbreaker, which distinguishes it from more traditional plain windbreakers.

The hand pockets are designed for storage and are not insulated. They offer basic protection from the elements.

The Omni-Shield™ treatment may diminish over time with washing and wear. Consider using a wash-in or spray-on water repellent product specifically designed for outdoor apparel to restore its performance. Ensure the garment is clean before applying any treatment.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a dedicated zipper lubricant to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.

The elastic in the cuffs is designed to be flexible. If they feel excessively loose after prolonged use, it may indicate wear. Ensure they are clean, as dirt can sometimes affect their elasticity. Replacement may be necessary if elasticity is significantly degraded.
