Product Information

Full details

This Columbia women's windbreaker is designed for adult females seeking a lightweight layer for breezy conditions. Its key benefit is providing water and wind resistance, keeping you comfortable during light showers and gusty winds. A potential caveat is its primary function as a light layer, meaning it offers minimal insulation for cold weather. Key features include a water and wind-resistant polyester shell, an adjustable drawcord hood and hem for a customizable fit, and elastic cuffs to block out drafts.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work it back and forth. If needed, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or wax to the zipper teeth.

Water resistance seems reduced.

Over time and with wear, the water-repellent finish may diminish. Consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel following product instructions.
