The most breathable waterproof technology, designed to keep you dry during highly aerobic activity, whatever the weather. This extremely air permeable waterproof fabric transfers the moisture vapors you generate out of the garment at an extremely high rate, while still shedding the elements in the worst conditions. Omni-Dry is the ultimate in waterproof technology for the outdoors. During physical activity, increased body temperature can cause perspiration. In garments with low breathability, this results in condensation causing the wearer to feel damp, clammy or even wet. This is often mistaken for leaky or faulty construction, and is always uncomfortable. With Omni-Dry®, air is able to circulate through the fabric, helping to regulate the conditions in the garment and keep excess moisture from collecting inside, while still maintaining its wind blocking properties. This is achievable because the Omni-Dry® membrane is highly air permeable (100cc/minute vs. 0cc/minute for Gore-Tex®) and extremely thin and lightweight (7 grams per yard vs. 40 grams per yard in Gore-Tex®).
Columbia Sportswear's Omni-Tech® products provide premium waterproof and breathable protection by keeping outside elements from getting in, while still allowing moisture vapors to move away from the skin. Microporous membranes keep water from penetrating the fabric yet allow perspiration to escape, so you stay dry.
Omni-Tech's first layer of defense is Omni-Shield®, which prevents most water from ever making contact with the inner layers. Next, a microporous membrane provides the primary and most impervious layer of defense by completely blocking the passage of water molecules into the fabric. Omni-Tech membranes are 100% air permeable, which allows moisture vapors to escape. This superior breathability keeps you dry from the inside out. Lastly, lining materials protect the Omni-Tech membrane from underneath, while adding additional wicking properties. Waterproof. Breathable. Guaranteed.
Omni-Shield delivers protection from the outdoors where you least expect it but need it most. This coated fabric resists all liquids below 170°F from absorbing into the yarns and staining the garment (without any effect on the feel of the material). The fabric itself will also dry 3-5 times faster than untreated fabric, without holding moisture like a conventional fabric, meaning it stays lighter even when its wet.
Featured in sportswear and footwear where its water resistance and stain protection defend against the elements, Omni-Shield keeps you prepared even when you're not.
OutDry® is the leader in waterproofing technology. Our patented process allows for increased comfort and protection against those wet weather conditions.
The OutDry® process eliminates airspace created by standard methods where water and debris collect and cause weight gain and reduce insulation and comfort. This technology can be found in our pinnacle footwear and glove styles:
Footwear
OutDry® in our footwear bonds a waterproof, breathable membrane to the upper of a shoe, sealing all potential water entry points.
Gloves
Drier. Lighter. More comfortable: OutDry® gloves deliver maximum waterproofing and breathability so your hands can do their job.
Engineered specifically to provide superior comfort and cushioning for outdoor footwear, Techlite® is durable, impact absorbing, and an ideal material for consistent support and protection throughout a range of footwear uses. Created with a closed-cell compound, it is naturally antimicrobial, easy to care for, and odor-resistant. What's more, the manufacturing process used to create Techlite has dramatic environmental advantages over other cushioning technologies: the Techlite molding process reduces waste by 25—30%, keeping material out of the landfill.
Omni-Wick® is the ultimate moisture-management technology for the outdoors. Its superior wicking properties move moisture away from the body and enable perspiration to evaporate quickly. During physical activity, increased body temperature causes perspiration (you know: sweat). Normally this results in damp, clammy, and uncomfortable clothing (not to mention unattractive). With Omni- Wick clothing, moisture is quickly wicked up into the fabric, and away from the wearer's skin. The moisture spreads out across the surface of the fabric where it quickly evaporates. This wicking/evaporation process keeps the wearer cool and the clothing dry. You stay dry, which helps regulate temperature, prevent chafing and keep you comfortable all day. Work up a sweat without getting all wet.
