Columbia Tech II Full Zip Hooded Windbreaker - Black - M

This windbreaker is ideal for light rain, drizzle, windy conditions, and moderate temperatures. It offers protection against everyday urban elements and light moisture.

The jacket is designed for a true-to-size, regular fit. Refer to the size chart provided by Columbia and consider ordering your usual size. You can adjust the fit further with the drawcord-adjustable hood and hem.

While you can layer items underneath for added warmth, this is a lightweight windbreaker. It is not insulated and is primarily designed for protection against wind and light moisture, not extreme cold.

The Omni-Shield™ technology is designed to repel common water-based stains and light spills. For best results, wipe away spills promptly. It is effective against everyday messes like coffee or light splashes.

No, this jacket is water-repellent, not waterproof. It will protect you from light rain and drizzle, but it is not designed for heavy downpours.

The main shell is composed of 96% Nylon and 4% Elastane. It also incorporates Rugged Stretch Granite Cloth™, which is 50% Recycled Nylon, 43% Nylon, and 7% Elastane.

The product description mentions zippered hand pockets on the exterior for secure storage. Internal pocket details are not specified.

Ensure the jacket is clean. Washing it according to care instructions and then tumble drying on low heat can sometimes reactivate the Omni-Shield™ finish. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impede repellency.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. If the zipper is still stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant can be applied to the teeth.

Verify that the size ordered is correct and that underlayers are not too bulky. The jacket is designed for a regular fit, but the stretch fabric should allow for comfortable movement.

Follow washing instructions carefully, using cold or warm water and avoiding harsh detergents or bleach. Air drying or tumble drying on low heat can help preserve colors and reflective elements.
