Product Information
Full details
The Columbia Watertight 2 Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable waterproof protection during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is the Omni-Tech waterproof and breathable technology, keeping you dry without causing overheating. A potential consideration is that while packable, it's a shell layer and may require additional insulation for colder conditions. Key features include a fully seam-sealed construction, an adjustable hood, zippered hand pockets, and adjustable cuffs and hem for a customized fit.

FAQs
What is Omni-Tech technology?
Omni-Tech is Columbia's proprietary technology that provides waterproof and breathable protection. It allows precipitation to be blocked while letting body vapor escape.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold with like colors using a powder detergent. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
This jacket is a waterproof shell and does not provide insulation. For cold weather, it is designed to be layered over warmer clothing like fleece or down jackets.
What does 'packable into hand pocket' mean?
It means the jacket can be folded and stuffed into one of its own hand pockets, making it compact for easy storage and transport when not in use.
Is the hood removable?
No, the hood is attached to the jacket.
What sizes are available?
The Columbia Watertight 2 Jacket is available in a range of adult male sizes, including Small through XXL, and in various colors.
How do I adjust the hem and cuffs?
The hem features a drawcord that can be tightened or loosened to adjust the fit around your waist. The cuffs have hook-and-loop closures that can be adjusted to secure them around your wrists.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and reapply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
While Omni-Tech is breathable, high-exertion activities can still lead to perspiration. Ensure the jacket is not too tightly fitted and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers. Check that all vents (if applicable) are open.
Seams appear to be leaking.
Verify that the seams are fully sealed. If damage is apparent, contact customer support. For minor issues, professional seam sealing might be an option.
