FAQs
Is this jacket insulated?
No, the Columbia Watertight II Waterproof Jacket is a shell layer. It is designed to be waterproof and breathable and can be layered with other clothing for warmth.
How do I know what size to order?
Refer to the size chart provided by Columbia Sportswear. This jacket is sized for kids, and specific measurements for chest, waist, and height should be used to select the best fit.
Can this jacket be used in very cold weather?
Yes, it can be used in cold weather when layered appropriately. Its waterproof and windproof capabilities make it a good outer layer over insulating garments like fleece or down.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold with a mild detergent, do not bleach, and tumble dry low. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning.
What does 'fully seam-sealed' mean?
It means that every single stitch on the jacket has a waterproof tape applied over it, ensuring that water cannot penetrate through the needle holes.
Are the reflective details durable?
The reflective details are designed to withstand normal wear and washing according to the care instructions. Repeated harsh washing or abrasion may reduce their reflectivity over time.
What is the primary benefit of Omni-Tech?
Omni-Tech provides waterproof and breathable protection. It keeps external moisture out while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof.
Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is intact. Reapply a DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel if needed. Check that all seams are sealed and intact.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it snags, check for fabric caught in the teeth. You can try lubricating the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil tip or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Jacket feels damp inside, but it's not raining.
This might be due to internal moisture (sweat) not escaping. Ensure the jacket is not overly layered underneath for the current temperature. Check that the underarm vents (if present on other models) or the main fabric's breathability is not compromised. Wash according to care instructions to clear any residues that might affect breathability.
