FAQs
What is Omni-Tech technology?
Omni-Tech is Columbia's proprietary technology that provides air-permeable waterproof protection. It uses a coated or laminated shell fabric that is waterproof, windproof, and breathable, allowing perspiration vapor to escape while preventing water from entering.
Is this jacket insulated?
No, the Columbia Watertight 2 Jacket is an uninsulated shell. It is designed to be worn as a waterproof outer layer over other clothing. You can add insulating layers underneath depending on the temperature.
How do I make sure I get the right size?
Refer to Columbia's official size chart for men's jackets. Measure your chest and waist circumference and compare them to the chart. The provided description indicates this is a men's size S in Green.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
As a shell, it can be worn in cold weather when layered with sufficient insulating clothing like fleece or down. However, the jacket itself provides no insulation.
How do I wash the jacket to maintain its waterproofness?
Machine wash cold with like colors using powdered detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning.
What does 'packable into hand pocket' mean?
It means the jacket can be folded or stuffed into one of its own hand pockets, compressing it into a small, self-contained package for easy storage and portability.
Are the seams taped or sealed?
Yes, the jacket features fully seam-sealed construction, meaning all the seams are covered with tape to prevent water from leaking through.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof or breathable.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly using the care instructions. If performance does not improve, consider reapplying a DWR treatment specifically designed for waterproof-outdoor gear. Ensure no fabric softener or bleach was used during washing, as these can degrade the fabric's properties.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free of debris. Gently run a graphite pencil lead or a wax-based lubricant along the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper, which can cause damage.
Seams appear to be leaking.
Verify that the jacket's seams are fully intact. If there are minor breaches, a seam-sealing adhesive may be carefully applied. Ensure the jacket has been washed and dried according to the care instructions, as residual oils or dirt can affect performance.
