- Is the Hikebound Long Jacket warm enough for winter?
- No. It is an uninsulated shell, so it works as an outer layer over a fleece or sweater in cold weather. On its own it suits mild, wet days.
- Is it waterproof?
- Columbia rates the Hikebound shell as water-resistant, not fully waterproof. It handles rain and wind on a hike but is not built for sustained downpours.
- How does it compare with Columbia's shorter rain jackets?
- The main difference is length: this one covers the hips and upper legs. The shorter shells are lighter and less restrictive for climbing.
- What sizes does it come in?
- It runs from XXS up to 6XL, including XS, S, M, L and XL. That is a wider range than many hiking shells offer.
- How should I wash it?
- Handwash at 30 degrees and do not bleach. Skip the tumble dryer and let it air dry to protect the water-resistant finish.
- Does it have pockets?
- The zip-front design includes hand pockets, though the exact pocket layout varies by version. Check the specific listing for details.
