Product Information

Full details

The Columbia Trailborne 2.5L Packable Waterproof Jacket is designed for female adult hikers and trail enthusiasts seeking reliable protection from the elements. Its key benefit is Omni-Tech™ waterproof and breathable fabric with fully sealed seams, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable during wet outdoor activities. A minor caveat is that while it offers core protection, it is a shell layer and may require additional insulation for very cold conditions. Key features include its waterproof/breathability, packability, adjustable fit, and ventilation.

FAQs

What is Omni-Tech™ fabric?

Omni-Tech™ is Columbia's proprietary waterproof-breathable technology designed to keep you dry from the outside in and comfortable from the inside out.

How do I pack the jacket into its pocket?

What type of activities is this jacket best suited for?

How do I wash and care for the jacket?

Does the hood offer adjustment?

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment after washing and drying according to the product's instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap and water. Ensure no debris is caught in the teeth. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax stick to the zipper teeth.

Jacket feels clammy inside

Ensure the underarm ventilation zippers are open to allow for better airflow. If the humidity is very high, some condensation may occur even with breathable fabrics.
