Columbia Big & Tall Hikebound II Jacket

Product Insights & Style Tips

The Columbia Big & Tall Hikebound II Jacket brings a no-nonsense approach to dreary weather—the silhouette is utilitarian, but the feel is surprisingly lightweight and comfortable thanks to breathable mesh lining and a touch of insulation. The shell has a crisp, tactile hand—evidence of Columbia’s out-there technical know-how—and the whole piece channels that adventurous, up-for-anything energy. The signature Omni-Heat™ lining flashes a subtle silver glint, reflecting warmth back to the skin without any bulk, while the Omni-Tech™ finish keeps out the elements, so wet mornings and unpredictable skies are just part of the vibe.

Characteristic of Columbia’s signature ease, the Hikebound II jacket moves with you, layer after layer, season after season. The drawcord-adjustable hood and hem mean you cinch exactly where you want to, and the stand collar keeps the look sharp while blocking wind. Zippered pockets at chest and sides don’t just stow your essentials—they sit flush, streamlining the silhouette whether you’re out on the trail or ducking into a corner café. Generous proportions in the Big & Tall fit give room for chunky knits underneath, or simply let the soft lining skim over a tee without feeling boxy or oversized. Layered over activewear or styled with your favorite denim, the Hikebound II transitions seamlessly through changing city scenes and backcountry hikes alike.
