FAQs
What is Thermarator™ insulation?
Thermarator™ is Columbia's synthetic insulation designed to provide excellent warmth and heat retention without adding significant weight or bulk to the garment.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold with like colors, use powder detergent. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is attached to the jacket.
What is the purpose of the silicone grippers on the powder skirt?
The silicone grippers help the powder skirt stay in place and create a seal against the body, preventing snow from entering the jacket during active use.
Can this jacket be used for general rain protection?
Yes, the waterproof fabric offers good protection against rain, although it is specifically designed with features for snow sports.
How should I care for the waterproof fabric?
To maintain water repellency, avoid fabric softeners and high heat drying. Reapplication of a DWR treatment may be necessary over time if water no longer beads on the surface.
What kind of pockets are included?
The jacket features zipped hand pockets, a ski pass pocket, and a combined media and goggle pocket.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close.
Check for fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil (rubbing the tip along the teeth) or a small amount of wax.
Water is seeping through the fabric.
Ensure all seams are intact. For older jackets, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need reapplication. Wash the jacket and then apply a waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for outerwear.
Velcro fastening is losing its grip.
Clean the Velcro hook and loop surfaces with a stiff brush to remove lint and debris. For persistent issues, consider replacing the Velcro if possible, or use a temporary fastener.
Jacket feels cold despite insulation.
Ensure the jacket is layered appropriately for the temperature. The Thermarator™ insulation is effective, but may require a base layer and mid-layer for very cold conditions. Check that cuffs and powder skirt are properly secured to prevent drafts.
