Product Information

Full details

The Columbia Spire Valley™ Novelty Hooded Windbreaker is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection against unpredictable weather. Its key benefit lies in the Omni-Shield™ technology, which repels moisture and stains, keeping you dry and clean. A potential consideration is its regular fit, which may not suit those preferring a very close or very loose silhouette. This windbreaker offers a blend of functional repellency and distinct style, featuring a drawcord adjustable hood, secure zipped hand pockets, a front zip closure, and elasticated cuffs, all with a unique treebark-inspired pattern.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

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.

What is the primary purpose of this windbreaker?

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

How should I choose my size?

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.

Can I wear this in cold weather?

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.

How do I maintain the water repellency?

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.

What does the 'Novelty' in the name refer to?

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

Are the hand pockets insulated?

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

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

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.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

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.

Elastic cuffs feel loose.

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.
