FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?
The Trailborne™ Rain Shell is designed primarily for rain protection. For extreme cold, it functions best as an outer shell layered over insulating mid-layers and base layers.
How do I know if I have the right size?

Can I wash this jacket with other clothes?
It is recommended to wash the jacket with like colors using a mild detergent and cold water to preserve its waterproof properties and fabric integrity.
What does 'Omni-Tech™' mean?
Omni-Tech™ is Columbia's proprietary waterproof and breathable technology that ensures you stay dry from the elements while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape.
How should I care for the waterproof coating?
Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach. For optimal performance, consider reapplying a DWR treatment periodically if water no longer beads effectively on the surface.
Are the pockets waterproof or water-resistant?
The pockets are zippered and designed to be water-resistant, providing good protection against light moisture. For very heavy rain or submersion, it's best to store sensitive items in a waterproof bag within the pockets.
What is the warranty on this product?
Please refer to Columbia's official website or the retailer's policy for specific warranty information, as it may vary by region and purchase date.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
Check for damage to seams or fabric. Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is intact. Reapplying a DWR treatment may be necessary. Wash according to care instructions; fabric softeners can impede waterproofing.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure zippers are clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of wax or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Make sure the fabric is not caught in the zipper.
Jacket feels clammy inside, despite being dry outside.
This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane. Check if the garment is being used in extremely humid conditions where breathability may be limited.
