Columbia Street Tech Shield Jacket

Lightweight weather resistance and flexible outdoor performance come together in the Columbia Street Tech Shield Jacket in Moonstone, a technical shell constructed from a high density weather resistant fabric. Built to solve the issue of bulky outerwear causing overheating during active trail walks and city commutes, this versatile softshell jacket offers wind protection and water repellent performance without restricting body movement. Outfitted with a high neck hooded collar, a full zip front closure, elasticated cuffs, zipped side pockets, and an adjustable drawcord hem, it supplies effective draught protection, secure storage, and comfortable breathability across changing climates.

What Is Columbia Street Tech™?

Columbia Street Tech™ is Columbia's city-focused collection, summed up by the tagline “Street Ready. Mountain Tech.” It takes the weather protection Columbia is known for and builds it into deliberately technical, “overqualified” outerwear and apparel designed for urban life. Where the mainline range is built first and foremost for the trail, Street Tech keeps the mountain technology but reworks the fits and styling for the street. The Shield Jacket is the collection's lightweight Omni-Shield layer, made for wind and light showers on the move. For the full story, read our guide to the Columbia Street Tech collection.
