FAQs
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
This is a lightweight shell with no internal insulation. It is designed to block wind and rain, so you will need to layer with a fleece or down jacket underneath for cold weather.
Can I put this jacket in the dryer?
Check your specific care tag; however, generally, you can tumble dry on a low setting. This can sometimes help reactivate the water-repellent coating.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, most Watertight II models include an adjustable storm hood to provide a secure fit during windy, rainy conditions.
What should I do if the jacket gets dirty?
The fabric is stain-resistant, but it can be machine washed in cold water. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
Does it have an internal pocket?
The jacket features two zippered external side pockets. It does not typically have internal security pockets.
How do I pack the jacket into its own pocket?
Simply invert one of the hand pockets and fold the rest of the jacket into it until it is securely contained.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the fabric instead of beading off.
The DWR coating may have worn off. Wash the jacket to remove dirt and oils, then reapply a waterproofing spray treatment.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and clean any debris from the zipper track using a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Columbia Watertight II Jacket, always follow the garment's internal care label. Generally, it should be machine washed in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. To maintain the waterproof effectiveness over time, you may eventually need to reapply a water-repellent spray specifically designed for synthetic shells. When not in use, ensure the jacket is completely dry before packing it away to prevent mildew.
