- Is the Hikebound II fully waterproof?
- Yes. Columbia rates it waterproof and windproof, with a zip and Velcro storm flap over the front. Seams and fabric keep out steady rain, though it is not a heavy-storm mountaineering shell.
- How does it fit compared with other Columbia jackets?
- It runs roomy, closer to Columbia's regular fit than its slim lines. Most buyers can layer a fleece or sweater underneath without sizing up.
- Is it good for hiking in warm weather?
- It is breathable but lined, so it suits cool, wet hikes better than hot, humid climbs. For summer showers a lighter packable shell breathes more.
- Does it have pockets?
- Yes, it has zippered hand pockets. They are useful for keys and a phone, though not large enough for bulky items.
- How does it compare with the original Hikebound?
- The Hikebound II keeps the same waterproof shell and hood but refines the fit and details. It is an evolution of the line rather than a major redesign.
- What is included with the jacket?
- Just the jacket itself. It has no stuff sack or separate liner, and the mesh lining is sewn in.
