Columbia Helvetia II Half-Snap Fleece - Green - XXL

No, this garment is made from polyester and is intended for warmth; it does not have a waterproof membrane.

The fleece will absorb moisture in the rain, so it is recommended to pair it with a waterproof shell if you expect precipitation.

Store it in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and to keep the material free from dust.

Spot treat the area with a mild stain remover and gently hand wash, ensuring you rinse thoroughly before machine washing.

Polyester is generally resistant to shrinking, but high heat can damage the fabric structure. Air drying is the safest method.

While it provides warmth, it is better suited for casual activities, hiking, or commuting rather than high-intensity sports where breathability and moisture management are critical.

Gently wiggle the snap while pulling close to the base of the fastener rather than pulling on the fabric itself.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and gently clear any debris; you may apply a small amount of graphite lubricant if it continues to stick.

Use a fabric shaver or a garment comb to carefully remove surface pilling that may occur over time from normal wear and friction.
