Columbia's ski jacket failed to keep me warm below freezing, how can I fix it?

If your Columbia ski jacket didn't keep you warm when it was below freezing, it could be because you weren't wearing enough layers, the insulation was worn down, or there was a problem with the product.

Omni-Heat technology and insulation are often used in Columbia coats. These technologies and layers work best when worn with the right base and mid-layers. Make sure you are layering properly by putting on materials that wick away moisture and keep you warm.

You can start an insurance claim if you think there is a problem, like not enough insulation. Columbia gives a restricted warranty for one year against problems with the materials or the work.

Make sure the jacket is clean, find the receipt, and use their website to make a guarantee claim. Columbia might look at the jacket and offer to fix it or give you a new one if they find a problem.
