FAQs

Is this jacket insulated?

No, the Trailborne™ 2.5L jacket is a waterproof shell and is not insulated. It is designed to be worn over other layers for warmth.

How do I know if I ordered the correct size?

Refer to the Columbia sizing chart for men's apparel. It is recommended to measure your chest and waist and compare them to the chart. Consider ordering a size up if you plan to wear thick layers underneath.

Can I machine dry the jacket?

Yes, the jacket can be tumble dried on a low setting. Remove it promptly after drying.

What does '2.5L' mean in the product name?

'2.5L' refers to the fabric's construction, indicating a 2.5-layer waterproof/breathable laminate. This design offers a good balance of protection, breathability, and packability.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproofness?

Machine wash cold with like colors using powder detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry low. Periodically reapply a DWR treatment.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the jacket typically features an adjustable hood to provide a secure and protective fit against the elements.

What material is the jacket made of?

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof (water soaks in)

Clean the jacket thoroughly using the recommended washing instructions. If water repellency does not improve, reapply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions.

Zipper is stuck

Gently try to move the zipper. If it's stuck on fabric, carefully try to free the fabric. Lubricating the zipper teeth with graphite (from a pencil) or wax may help.

Seams appear to be leaking

Ensure the jacket has been washed and treated correctly. If the issue persists after proper care, contact customer support as there may be a manufacturing defect.

Jacket feels clammy inside

This can occur during high exertion. Ensure all vents are open and that you are not wearing excessively warm layers underneath. The breathability is designed for moderate activity; intense activity may still result in some internal moisture.
