Use:

• Primarily designed for hiking and trekking activities in conditions of heavy rain or intense humidity, where waterproof protection and breathability are crucial for comfort and performance.
• Perfect for nature explorations and outdoor adventures where the weather is unpredictable, keeping the user dry and comfortable thanks to its advanced waterproofing technology.
• Suitable for daily use in rainy climates or as a versatile outer layer for travel, thanks to its functional design and adjustable details that offer personalized protection.
• The Columbia brand has manufactured this jacket to offer a robust and reliable solution against the most intense rain, focusing on durability and functionality for active women who are not deterred by bad weather.
• Its construction aims to address the need for a garment that not only prevents water ingress but also allows for sweat evacuation, preventing the feeling of internal dampness during physical exertion.

Features:

• OutDry™ EXTREME technology with fully sealed seams, which offers the highest level of waterproof and breathable protection by placing the membrane on the outside, preventing the fabric from becoming saturated and maintaining lightness and comfort.
• External seam sealing tape, which reinforces waterproofing at critical fabric joining points, ensuring a complete barrier against water entry.
• Adjustable hood with drawstring, which allows for a personalized fit to protect the head and face from rain and wind, improving visibility and comfort.
• Chin guard, which prevents chafing and irritation from the zipper when fully closed, increasing comfort in the neck and chin area.
• Underarm ventilation system, which allows for body temperature regulation and release of excess heat during intense activities, improving breathability and comfort.
• PU (polyurethane) zippers on the front and hand pockets, which offer an additional barrier against moisture, keeping both the user and their belongings dry.
• Adjustable cuffs with tabs, which allow for a snug closure around the wrists to prevent water and wind entry, or loosen them for greater ventilation.
• Adjustable hem with drawstring, which allows the bottom of the jacket to be tightened to seal out cold drafts and rain.
• Longer back (droptail hem), which provides additional coverage in the back, protecting against rain and cold when sitting or bending over.
• Center back length of 26.0 inches / 66.0 cm, offering adequate coverage for most users.
• "Regular Fit" cut, which is described as a universal and easy fit for a comfortable range of motion, ideal for various activities.

Materials:

• Made with OutDry™ EXTREME technology, which features a waterproof and breathable membrane on the outer layer of the fabric, eliminating the need for a traditional DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment and preventing the outer fabric from becoming saturated. The interior features a soft, moisture-wicking fabric to keep the skin dry.
• The details of the front zippers and hand pockets are coated with PU (polyurethane), a plastic material that provides high water resistance, preventing leaks through these closures.
