FAQs
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
The Arcadia II Jacket is primarily a waterproof and breathable shell. It is not insulated for significant warmth on its own. For cold winter conditions, it is designed to be layered over insulating mid-layers like fleece or down jackets.
How do I care for the Omni-Tech fabric?
Machine wash cold with like colors, do not bleach, tumble dry low, and do not iron or dry clean. Regular washing helps maintain the fabric's performance.
Can I adjust the hood?
Yes, the jacket features an adjustable storm hood to provide a customized fit and better protection against the elements.
How does the jacket pack down?
The jacket is designed to be lightweight and packable. It can be folded and stored within one of its own hand pockets for convenient carrying when not in use.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made of 100% nylon 2L fabric with a 100% polyester mesh lining.
What does Omni-Tech mean?
Omni-Tech is Columbia's proprietary technology that provides air-permeable protection, meaning it is waterproof and breathable. It keeps external elements out while allowing internal moisture to escape.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the fabric.
Ensure the jacket has been washed according to care instructions. Over time, DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finishes can wear off. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment suitable for technical outerwear.
Zipper is stuck.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If still stuck, apply a graphite pencil lead or a bit of bar soap to the teeth of the zipper. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.
Jacket feels damp inside, but it's not raining.
This can be due to interior moisture buildup from perspiration. Ensure the jacket's vents are open (if applicable) and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers. Check that the fabric's breathability hasn't been compromised by dirt or residue by washing according to instructions.
