Columbia Technologies

For decades, the brand has continued to push the boundaries of technology to offer you ever more efficient and protective outdoor equipment. Whether it's Columbia women's down jackets, Columbia hiking jackets or Columbia fleeces, the brand's pieces incorporate specific technologies, guaranteeing comfort in all conditions.

Omni-Heat™: warmth and insulation

Omni-Heat™ was designed to optimize body heat and ensure maximum insulation. It's found in Columbia parkas, jackets, and even some shoes. This innovation essentially incorporates a reflective patterned lining. These micro-dots reflect your body's natural heat back at you, like a thermal mirror, while allowing excess moisture to escape. Pieces equipped with this technology are perfect for skiing or winter outings.

Omni-Tech™: waterproof and breathable

Omni-Tech™ was specifically developed by Columbia to deliver products that offer total protection and unparalleled comfort. This patented technology provides maximum waterproofing against rain and snow. It also features active breathability to easily wick away perspiration during exercise. It can be found on Columbia jackets, Columbia hiking pants, and a variety of Columbia hiking shoes.

Omni-Shield™: Water protection for down jackets and pants

Omni-Shield™ is primarily found on Columbia parkas and pants. It's a durable water- and stain-repellent treatment that makes water droplets bead up on the fabric's surface. This barrier is effective against light moisture and mud, helping your garment maintain its performance for longer.

Thermarator™ Synthetic Insulation

Thermarator™ synthetic insulation is a technological innovation that provides optimal warmth-to-weight ratio in wet conditions. This high-performance insulation allows Columbia garments to retain their thermal properties even in wet weather.
