FAQs
What is Omni-Tech technology?
Omni-Tech is Columbia's proprietary waterproof and breathable technology. It uses a microporous membrane with a PU coating to block water molecules from entering while allowing water vapor to escape, keeping you dry from the inside and out.
Can this jacket be used in cold weather?
The Inner Limits Jacket is designed as a waterproof and windproof shell. For cold weather, it is recommended to layer insulating clothing underneath to provide warmth.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to Columbia's sizing chart for men's jackets. The jacket is designed for a regular fit, but consider if you plan to wear thick layers underneath when choosing your size.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is attached to the jacket and features an adjustable design for optimal fit and protection.
What is the purpose of the heat-sealed seams?
Heat-sealed seams add an extra layer of protection against water penetration, ensuring that the stitching points, which can be vulnerable, are also sealed to maintain full waterproof integrity.
How should I store the jacket when not in use?
Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged compression, such as in a stuff sack, to maintain the integrity of the fabric and its coatings.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Ensure the jacket is clean and consider reapplying a DWR treatment. Follow the care instructions carefully to preserve water repellency.
Zipper is sticking.
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil tip or a bit of wax. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper slider.
Underarm vents are difficult to open/close.
Check for any fabric or debris obstructing the zipper. Gently work the zipper while pulling any obstruction away. Ensure the zippers are clean.
