The Columbia Powder Lite is a lightweight synthetic-insulated jacket with a thermal-reflective silver-dot lining that bounces body heat back to you. It is water-repellent and stain-resistant rather than waterproof, so it handles damp, drizzly days and messy commutes but not steady rain. The cut is short and trim at 26 inches center back, with a drawcord hem, chin guard and zippered hand pockets. It suits people who want a packable warm layer for cool mornings, travel and layering under a shell, and it competes with other lightweight synthetic puffies on warmth-to-weight rather than on weather protection.

Owners of Columbia's Omni-Heat jackets generally rate the reflective lining as genuinely warmer than a plain puffy of the same weight, and praise how little space it takes in a bag. Common complaints are that it is a light layer rather than a rain jacket and that the short cut runs small for some wearers.
The Powder Lite Jacket from Columbia is a women's jacket built for cold, damp weather. Its Omni-Heat thermal-reflective lining uses silver dots to reflect body heat and retain warmth. The lining is breathable.
Omni-Shield treatment repels moisture and resists stains by keeping liquids from absorbing into fast-drying yarns. A drawcord-adjustable hem seals out the elements, and a chin guard prevents chafing. Binding at the cuffs gives a finished look.
The jacket has zippered hand pockets and an interior security pocket for small items.
