FAQs
What is Omni-Tech technology?
Omni-Tech is Columbia's proprietary technology that provides air-permeable waterproof protection. It uses a PU-coated waterproof-breathable membrane that blocks water molecules from entering while allowing water vapor to escape, keeping you dry and comfortable.
Is this jacket insulated?
No, the Columbia Watertight II Jacket is not insulated. It features a mesh lining for comfort and breathability, making it ideal as a rain shell that can be layered over other clothing for warmth.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to Columbia's official sizing chart for children's apparel. The provided size is XXL, corresponding to specific chest and height measurements. It's recommended to measure your child and compare it with the chart.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
While it offers excellent rain protection, it has minimal insulation. For very cold weather, you will need to layer warm clothing, such as fleece or down, underneath the jacket.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproofness?
Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or line dry. Avoid ironing.
Are the reflective details durable?
The reflective details are designed to withstand normal wear and washing according to care instructions. Avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the reflective areas.
What if the jacket's waterproofness seems to decrease over time?
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish can wear off. You can restore or enhance this by washing the jacket and then tumble drying it on low heat, or by applying a specialized DWR re-treatment spray or wash.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is intact. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor gear if necessary. Check that all seams are sealed and that no damage has occurred.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a toothbrush and mild soap. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Mesh lining feels sticky or uncomfortable.
Ensure no fabric softener was used during washing, as this can affect the lining. Wash again with mild detergent and skip fabric softener.
Jacket feels excessively warm.
This jacket is designed for rain protection and has limited insulation. For warmer days, consider wearing only a light base layer underneath or opting for a lighter shell.
