Columbia Street Heights Windbreaker Jacket

The Columbia Street Heights Windbreaker Jacket in Ancient Fossil acts as a lightweight shield against the elements, utilising a 100% nylon shell integrated with Omni-Shield™ technology to shed light rain and stains. To ensure you don't feel stuffy while moving through the city, the jacket is designed with a functional back-venting system that promotes constant airflow. This packable outer layer is a practical choice for unpredictable weather, providing a reliable barrier that keeps you dry during daily commutes or park strolls.

At Urban Industry we recommend / Ideal For

• Daily urban commuting and city exploration where a lightweight, water-resistant layer is essential for shifting weather conditions.
• Traveling light; the 100% nylon construction is naturally crease-resistant and takes up minimal space in a daypack or carry-on.
• Individuals seeking a technical windbreaker that offers a more refined, minimalist look than traditional heavy-duty hiking jackets.
• Pairing with technical cargos, organic cotton tees, or tapered chinos for a balanced, utility-focused ensemble.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This jacket features a standard fit, offering enough room through the chest and shoulders to be layered comfortably over a sweatshirt or light fleece.
• The 100% nylon shell provides a crisp, technical handle that maintains a sharp profile even in windy conditions.
  
• Here at the store we recommend taking your usual size for a reliable fit, as the adjustable hood and elastic cuffs allow for a tailored feel.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle up to 30°C to preserve the integrity of the Omni-Shield™ treatment and the nylon fibres.
• Use a specialized technical wash or mild detergent; avoid biological detergents which can strip away the water-repellent coating.
• Hang the jacket to dry naturally in a shaded area; the technical nylon fabric is designed to dry rapidly without the need for a tumble dryer.
• Avoid the use of fabric softeners, as these can clog the technical fibres and significantly reduce the jacket's moisture-repellent performance.
• If water stops beading on the surface over time, you can tumble dry on a very low heat for 20 minutes to reactivate the DWR treatment.

Our Columbia Street Heights Windbreaker FAQs

1. Is Omni-Shield™ the same as being waterproof?
   It is highly water-repellent and stain-resistant, making it perfect for drizzle and light showers. For heavy downpours, a fully seam-sealed waterproof shell would be required.

2. Does the back venting make it cold?
   No, the venting is designed to release excess body heat while the main nylon shell blocks the wind, keeping you comfortable rather than chilled.

3. Are the hand pockets large enough for a modern smartphone?
   Yes, the zippered pockets are designed to securely accommodate most modern mobile devices and everyday carry items.

4. Is the Ancient Fossil colour transparent?
   No, the high-density 100% nylon shell is opaque and provides solid coverage while remaining incredibly lightweight.
