FAQs
What is Omni-Tech technology?
Omni-Tech is Columbia's proprietary technology that provides air-permeable protection. It is waterproof and breathable, designed to keep external elements out while allowing moisture from the inside to escape.
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
The Arcadia II Jacket is designed as a waterproof shell. It offers minimal insulation on its own and is best suited for layering with warmer items like fleece or down jackets during colder months.
How do I pack the jacket for storage or travel?
This jacket is designed to be packable. You can fold it and stuff it into one of its hand pockets for compact storage.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket. Use cold water with powdered detergent, avoid fabric softener and bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Remove promptly and do not iron or dry clean.
What does 'air-permeable' mean in relation to this jacket?
Air-permeable means that the fabric allows air to pass through it. In the context of this jacket, it contributes to breathability, helping to release heat and moisture from your body.
What is the purpose of the drawcord hem?
The drawcord at the hem allows you to cinch the jacket tighter around your waist, which helps to seal out wind and rain and prevent drafts.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made of 100% nylon 2L fabric with a 100% polyester mesh lining.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is intact. Reapply a DWR treatment if needed. Check care label for proper washing to maintain water resistance.
Zipper is sticking
Gently pull the zipper while wiggling it. Apply a graphite pencil to the zipper teeth or use a specialized zipper lubricant.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can indicate a need for better ventilation or layering. Ensure pit zips (if present) are open and consider removing an inner layer if you are overheating. The breathable membrane may be struggling if internal moisture production is very high.
Seams are leaking
Check if seam tape is peeling or damaged. For minor issues, a seam sealer might help. If significant damage, contact customer support.
