Product Information

Full details

This Columbia Powder Lite II Jacket is designed for adult males seeking versatile, lightweight warmth for mild to severe cold weather. Its key benefit is advanced thermal regulation through Omni-Heat technology and protection from light precipitation with Omni-Shield. A potential caveat is its lightweight nature, which may not suffice for extreme, prolonged exposure to sub-zero temperatures without additional layering. Key features include advanced heat retention, water resistance, and practical design elements for comfort and utility.

FAQs

What is Omni-Heat™ technology?

Omni-Heat™ is a thermal reflective technology that uses small, metallic dots on the interior fabric to reflect body heat back to the wearer, enhancing warmth without adding bulk.

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the jacket features Omni-Shield™ technology, which provides water and stain resistance for light precipitation and spills, but it is not fully waterproof.

How do I wash and care for the jacket?

Machine wash cold with like colors using powder detergent. Tumble dry low and do not iron or dry clean. Avoid fabric softeners.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold temperatures?

It provides good lightweight warmth. For very cold temperatures (below freezing), it is recommended to layer it with a warm base layer and a thicker mid-layer for adequate insulation.

What material is the jacket made of?

The jacket is made primarily of Polyester, with Thermarator™ insulation.

Does the jacket have an adjustable hood?

This specific model does not feature an attached hood. It is a collar-style jacket.

Are there inside pockets?

This model typically features zippered hand pockets on the exterior. Internal pocket configuration may vary; please check product details if specific internal storage is required.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not providing enough warmth

Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the hem drawcord is tightened to seal out drafts. For colder conditions, wear appropriate base and mid-layers beneath the jacket.

Water is soaking through the fabric

The Omni-Shield treatment is designed for light precipitation. For heavy or prolonged rain, a waterproof outer shell is recommended. Consider reapplying a DWR finish if the water repellency has diminished over time.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to move the zipper. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Fabric has lost its water repellency

Wash the jacket according to care instructions. Avoid fabric softeners. If repellency does not return, consider a professional DWR treatment or a home application product designed for outdoor apparel.
