FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

No, the Columbia Spire Valley™ Hooded Windbreaker is designed for light rain and wind. For heavy downpours, a waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

What material is the jacket made of?

The main fabric is 100% polyamide, and the lining is 100% polyester.

How do I adjust the hood?

The hood features a drawstring that you can pull to tighten and adjust the fit around your head for better protection from the elements.

Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?

Yes, it is machine washable. Please follow the care instructions: machine wash cold with like colors and use a mild detergent. Do not bleach.

Does the jacket have internal pockets?

This particular model features two slanted side pockets with zippers for secure storage. It does not specify internal pockets in the product description.

What is the length of the jacket?

The product details indicate a 'short' length.

Is this jacket insulated for cold weather?

This is a lightweight windbreaker and is not heavily insulated. It is suitable for mild temperatures or for layering over warmer clothing in cooler conditions.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stuck

Gently try to move the zipper pull up and down while applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a tiny bit of wax to the teeth around the stuck area.

Water repellency is decreasing

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may need to be reapplied. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then tumble dry on low heat for 20 minutes to reactivate the existing treatment. For a more robust solution, consider using a spray-on or wash-in water repellent treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel.

Elastic cuffs feel too tight or loose

The elastic is designed for a snug fit. If it feels uncomfortable, ensure the jacket is the correct size. The elastic may stretch slightly over time with regular wear.
