Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR coating may need refreshing. Tumble dry on low heat for 15-20 minutes to reactivate the factory finish or apply a DWR spray treatment.
Zipper sticking or failing to glide
Check for debris or fabric caught in the teeth. If clear, use a small amount of silicone lubricant or graphite to restore smoothness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Columbia Arctic Blast 2 Jacket, follow these guidelines. When adjusting the hood, ensure the toggles are secured evenly to provide full coverage. The jacket is machine washable; however, it is essential to use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the DWR coating. For drying, a low-heat tumble dry is recommended to help re-activate the water-repellent finish. Always check that all zippers are closed before washing to prevent snagging.
