FAQs
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
The Arcadia II Jacket is a waterproof shell and offers minimal insulation. It is designed to protect against rain and wind and is best layered with insulating clothing for colder temperatures.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Do not iron.
What does 'Omni-Tech' mean?
Omni-Tech is Columbia's proprietary technology that provides air-permeable protection, meaning it is waterproof and breathable. It keeps external elements out while allowing internal moisture to escape.
Can I wear this jacket over a bulky sweater?
The jacket is designed to be lightweight. While it can be layered, wearing it over very bulky items might restrict movement. It is best suited for layering over lighter to mid-weight insulating layers.
How do I maintain the waterproof feature?
To maintain the waterproof feature, ensure the jacket is clean and dry. Periodically, you can reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment, available at outdoor gear retailers, following the product's specific instructions.
Does the hood fully detach?
The hood is integrated into the jacket design and is adjustable, but it does not detach.
Troubleshooting
Water is leaking through the fabric
The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment according to product instructions. Ensure seams are intact.
Jacket feels clammy or sweaty inside
This can occur in humid conditions or during strenuous activity. Ensure the jacket is not too tightly fitted, and consider layering with moisture-wicking base layers. Open zippers for ventilation.
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free any obstructions. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax to the zipper teeth.
