- Is the Little Si II warm enough for winter?
- It handles typical cold, wet city days, especially with a sweater underneath. It is not built for prolonged sub-freezing or alpine conditions.
- Is it actually waterproof?
- Yes. Columbia uses a waterproof, breathable shell, and the attached hood adds coverage. Seams are the main weak point in heavy downpours.
- How does it compare with a down parka?
- It is less warm for its weight and bulkier, but it keeps insulating when damp and costs less than most down parkas.
- Does it run true to size?
- It runs roomy. Many owners size down for a closer fit, especially if they layer lightly.
- Can it be machine washed?
- Yes. Wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble low; synthetic fill tolerates washing better than down.
- What is in the box?
- The parka only. No removable liner or stuff sack is included.
