Columbia Powder Lite II Insulated Jacket - Green

This jacket is ideal for cold weather, particularly for temperatures ranging from cool to moderately cold. It performs well in light rain and snow due to its water-repellent finish and thermal reflective lining.

Omni-Heat™ technology uses small, silver dots on the fabric lining that reflect your body heat back to you, helping to retain warmth without adding significant weight or bulk to the jacket.

The jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can shed light rain and snow. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy downpours.

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean.

The jacket features two zippered hand pockets on the exterior and one interior security pocket for stashing valuables.

This specific model, the Powder Lite II Insulated Jacket, does not come with a hood.

While the jacket provides good warmth for its weight, for extreme sub-zero temperatures, it is recommended to layer it over a warm base layer and insulating mid-layer for maximum protection.

Ensure the full-length zipper is zipped up and the hem drawcord is tightened to seal out drafts. For colder conditions, consider layering with a thermal base layer and mid-layer.

The water-repellent finish may diminish over time. Consider applying a water-repellent treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel after washing and drying, following the product's instructions.

Gently pull the zipper up and down while applying slight pressure. You can also try applying a small amount of wax (like a graphite pencil or beeswax) to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
