This Columbia Trailborne 2.5L Shell is designed for adult females seeking reliable protection during outdoor activities like hiking. Its key benefit is waterproof and breathable Omni-Tech™ fabric with fully sealed seams, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable. A minor caveat is its classic fit, which may be looser than some prefer for intense activity. Key features include its lightweight, packable design, adjustable elements for a custom fit, and multiple zippered pockets for secure storage.

Omni-Tech™ is Columbia's proprietary waterproof and breathable technology. It provides a barrier against water while allowing internal moisture (like sweat) to escape, keeping you dry and comfortable.
This is a shell jacket, meaning it's designed primarily for protection against rain and wind. For cold weather, it is intended to be layered over insulating clothing like fleece or down jackets.
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, fasten all closures, wash separately, rinse thoroughly, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners and dry cleaning.
Yes, the attached hood features a taped bill to keep rain away from your face and can be adjusted using the integrated drawcords for a secure fit.
The jacket has two zippered hand pockets and one zippered chest pocket, providing secure and dry storage for your essentials.
The '2.5L' refers to the laminate construction. It indicates a 2-layer fabric with an additional protective scrim or coating on the inside, offering durability and comfort without the need for a separate lining. This construction contributes to the jacket's lightweight and packable nature.
Ensure zippers are fully closed when washing. If a zipper becomes stiff, clean the teeth with mild soap and water and lubricate with wax or graphite.
Yes, the jacket features underarm ventilation with zippers that can be opened to release heat and improve airflow during physical activity.
Ensure the care instructions, particularly regarding detergent and fabric softener, have been followed. Re-evaluate washing and drying methods. Consider a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) reapplication treatment suitable for technical outerwear if performance has degraded over time.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Lubricate the zipper with a wax-based product like a zipper lubricant stick or graphite from a pencil.
This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the outer fabric and membrane are clean by washing according to instructions. Check that underarm vents are open during activity if needed.
Verify that the seams are fully intact. If there is visible damage to the seam tape, professional repair may be needed. Ensure the jacket has been washed and cared for correctly, as detergents can sometimes affect seam integrity.
Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. Simply unpack and wear. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before use for maximum water resistance.
Compatibility: The jacket is designed as an outer shell and can be layered over other clothing. It is compatible with most backpacks and hiking gear.
Care Instructions: To maintain the waterproof and breathable performance of your Columbia Trailborne 2.5L Shell, follow these washing instructions carefully:
