Description
Product Overview
Columbia’s women’s down jacket blends advanced synthetic and natural insulation to deliver consistent warmth from mild autumn breezes to severe winter chills. The model 215769 incorporates OMNI‑HEAT, a patented reflective lining that captures body heat without sacrificing breathability, and TURBODOWN, a hybrid of Microtemp XF II synthetic fibers and premium down. With 85% recycled polyester in the insulation, the jacket offers sustainable performance while maintaining a lofty, compressible feel. The outer shell is treated with OMNI‑SHIELD, providing water resistance for light precipitation, quick‑dry properties, and stain‑repellent durability. Available in a range of sizes from X‑Small to XX‑Large and colors such as Dark Stone, Stone Green, Eraser Pink and classic Black, the design includes zippered hand pockets, an interior security pocket, soft‑bound cuffs, and a drawcord‑adjustable hem for a personalized fit.
Usage
Designed for active women who transition between city streets and backcountry trails, this jacket excels in a variety of environments. On a crisp morning commute, the breathable OMNI‑HEAT layer retains core temperature while allowing moisture to escape, preventing overheating during a brisk walk. During weekend hikes, the TURBODOWN core stays warm even when the outer fabric encounters light snow or drizzle, thanks to the water‑repellent OMNI‑SHIELD finish. The jacket’s lightweight profile makes it easy to pack into a backpack for travel, and the secure pockets keep essentials like a phone, keys, or a trail map safe. Whether you’re skiing at a resort, photographing winter landscapes, or simply running errands in chilly weather, the adjustable hem and cuff bindings let you fine‑tune coverage for maximum comfort.

FAQ
Is the jacket suitable for heavy snowfall?
The jacket is optimized for mild to moderate winter conditions and light precipitation. While the TURBODOWN core retains warmth when wet, for deep snow or prolonged exposure you may want a dedicated heavy‑snow shell over the jacket.
How does the recycled insulation affect performance?
Microtemp XF II uses 85% recycled polyester fibers that mimic the loft of traditional down while offering superior moisture management. The insulation remains warm even when damp, delivering comparable warmth‑to‑weight ratios to virgin down.
Can I machine wash the jacket?
Yes. Use a gentle cycle with cold water, mild detergent, and no fabric softener. Tumble dry on low with a few clean tennis balls to restore loft, or air‑dry flat to maintain shape.
What is the fit like?
The jacket is cut with a regular women’s fit, allowing room for layering without appearing bulky. The adjustable hem and cuff bindings let you tighten the silhouette for extra wind protection.
Does the OMNI‑SHIELD coating affect breathability?
No. OMNI‑SHIELD is engineered to repel water and stains while maintaining the fabric’s inherent breathability, ensuring comfort during active pursuits.
