Product Information
Full details
The Columbia Watertight II Rain Jacket is a versatile, high-performance outer layer designed for active adults who need reliable protection against wet weather. Featuring advanced Omni-Shield technology to repel moisture, this jacket provides a lightweight, breathable solution for hiking, commuting, or outdoor work. While its construction is highly effective at shedding rain and wind, users should note that as a lightweight shell, it is best suited for layering rather than providing significant thermal insulation in sub-zero temperatures.

FAQs
Is the jacket fully waterproof?

Is this jacket windproof?
While primarily a rain jacket, the tightly woven nylon construction provides excellent protection against wind chill.
How do I pack the jacket?

Does this provide warmth in winter?

Troubleshooting
Water is no longer beading on the fabric surface.
The DWR coating may have worn off. Wash the jacket and reapply a recommended DWR treatment spray, then heat-set it according to the product instructions.
Zipper is sticking or not moving smoothly.
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris. If necessary, rub a pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant along the track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket continues to perform at its best, proper care is essential. The jacket is designed to be worn over light layers like t-shirts, flannels, or fleece pullovers. When cleaning, machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip the Omni-Shield coating. For drying, tumble dry on low heat to maintain the integrity of the fabric and the water-repellent treatment. If you notice water no longer beads on the surface after extensive use, you may consider applying a dedicated DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to restore its performance.
