FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant thanks to Omni-Shield technology, meaning it handles light rain or splashes effectively, but it is not seam-sealed and should not be considered waterproof in heavy storms.
Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?
Yes, it is machine washable. Use the gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent.
What is the benefit of the reflective lining?
The Omni-Heat dots reflect your body's heat back toward your skin, providing increased warmth without needing excessive bulky insulation layers.
Does this jacket have an internal pocket?
Yes, it features an interior security pocket for storing small, important items.
Is the hood adjustable?
The specific model referenced is the full-zip jacket version, which does not include a hood.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels slightly sticky
Check for fabric caught in the track and wipe down with a dry cloth; applying a small amount of graphite can help smooth the movement.
Water no longer beads on the surface
The Omni-Shield coating may have worn off; use a spray-on DWR (Durable Water Repellent) refresher treatment according to manufacturer instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Columbia jacket, keep these guidelines in mind:
- Fit: The jacket is true to size but is cut to allow for a base layer underneath. Choose your standard size.
- Cleaning: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade the Omni-Shield water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting. Do not dry clean or iron the garment, as high heat can damage the thermal reflective lining.
- Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the loft of the synthetic insulation.
