FAQs

What does Omni-Tech™ mean?

Omni-Tech™ is Columbia's proprietary waterproof and breathable technology, designed to keep you dry by preventing water from getting in while allowing moisture vapor to escape.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The Trailborne™ Rain Shell is primarily designed for rain protection. For cold weather, layering with insulating pieces underneath is recommended.

How do I know if I need to reapply the DWR treatment?

If water no longer beads up on the fabric surface and instead soaks in, it's time to reapply the DWR treatment.

Can I iron this jacket?

No, avoid ironing the jacket as high heat can damage the waterproof coating and materials.

What is the fit like?

The jacket has a regular fit and is designed to be true to size. It allows for comfortable movement and layering.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets are zippered and designed to keep contents dry from rain, but they are not intended for submersion.

What sizes are available?

Troubleshooting

Water is seeping through the seams.

Ensure all seams are intact. If the DWR coating has worn off, consider applying a re-treatment.

Jacket feels clammy inside.

This might indicate a lack of breathability due to heavy perspiration or the DWR coating needing cleaning or reapplication. Ensure the garment is clean and the DWR is functional.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Apply a silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers if necessary.
