Product Information

Full details

This Columbia Sportswear Paracutie™ II Hooded Windbreaker is designed for adult females seeking a blend of street style and outdoor protection. Its key benefit is providing water repellency and comfortable ventilation for all-day wear. A potential caveat is its lightweight nature, which may not offer substantial warmth in colder conditions. Key features include a water-repellent finish, a stow-away hood, back venting for breathability, and an adjustable hem for a customizable fit.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

No, this windbreaker has a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain or drizzle. It is not a waterproof jacket designed for heavy downpours.

What kind of temperatures is this jacket best for?

This jacket is best suited for mild to cool temperatures. It offers protection from wind and light moisture but provides minimal insulation for very cold weather.

How do I adjust the hem?

The hem can be adjusted using the drawcords located on the inside of the jacket at the hemline. Pull the cords to tighten and adjust the fit.

Can the hood be completely removed?

The hood is designed to be stowed away within the collar but cannot be fully detached.

What material is the jacket made of?

The jacket is made primarily from nylon, providing a lightweight and durable shell.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

The jacket is lightweight and can be folded or rolled to fit into a backpack or bag. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

The water-repellent finish may diminish over time. Consider a re-waterproofing treatment suitable for synthetic fabrics. Ensure the garment is clean before applying any treatments.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper track. Gently pull any obstructing fabric away. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Venting is not effective.

Ensure the back vent is open and not obstructed by backpack straps or other layers. The venting is designed for airflow, not complete temperature regulation.
