FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the Columbia Steens Mountain 2.0 is not waterproof or water-resistant. It is best used for warmth in dry conditions.
Can I wear this as a winter coat?
It is an excellent insulating layer, but because it is not windproof, it is recommended to wear it under a windbreaker or hardshell jacket in extreme cold.
How does the sizing run?
The jacket follows standard sizing. The 'XL' provides a comfortable, relaxed fit that allows for base layers underneath.
What is MTR fleece?
MTR stands for Maximum Thermal Retention, which is Columbia's proprietary high-performance fleece designed to trap heat effectively.
Are the pockets deep enough for a large phone?
Yes, the secure zippered pockets are designed to be deep enough for most standard-sized smartphones.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels matted or less soft after washing
Avoid using fabric softener during the wash cycle and ensure the jacket is thoroughly dried on a low-heat setting or air-dried to restore loft.
Zipper feels stiff or stuck
Gently clean the zipper track with a soft brush to remove dust or debris, then apply a small amount of graphite or a silicone-based zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Columbia fleece in peak condition, machine wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the wicking properties of the synthetic fibers. Always tumble dry on low heat or, preferably, hang it to dry to prevent the fleece from becoming matted or losing its shape. This jacket is highly compatible with most outer shells; its slim profile ensures it won't feel bulky when worn underneath a parka or a rain jacket.
