Featuring proprietary Omni-Tech technology, this lightweight rain shell keeps you dry without overheating, making it ideal for hiking, travel, and daily errands; however, because it is designed as a packable shell, it lacks the heavy insulation required for extreme alpine winter conditions.

FAQs
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable. Please use cold water and mild detergent, and avoid using fabric softeners.
Can I use this for snow sports?
It provides excellent waterproof protection, but it is a shell jacket with no insulation. You would need to layer warm clothing underneath for cold-weather activities.
Does the hood detach?
No, the hood is permanently attached to ensure maximum protection against water ingress.
How do I pack the jacket into its pocket?
Simply invert one of the hand pockets and fold the rest of the jacket into the pouch until it is completely enclosed.
What does Omni-Tech mean?
Omni-Tech is Columbia's proprietary technology that combines a waterproof membrane with breathable materials to keep you dry inside and out.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Wash the jacket and reapply a DWR spray treatment to restore water beading.
Zipper is sticking or catching
Ensure no fabric is trapped in the track. If the zipper remains stuck, gently clean the teeth with a soft brush and apply a small amount of non-greasy lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the water-repellent performance of your Columbia Watertight II, it is important to follow proper care instructions. Always close all zippers and fasteners before washing to prevent damage. Machine wash in cold water using a mild detergent, and tumble dry on a low setting. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the specialized waterproof coating over time. For the best fit, utilize the drawcord hem and cuff adjusters to trap warmth and prevent water ingress when you are exposed to high winds.
