Columbia and its technology names

Columbia is an American outdoor brand. Omni-Tech is its waterproof, breathable fabric with sealed seams, and Omni-Heat is a lining with small silver dots that reflect body heat back to the wearer. Interchange jackets, such as the Bugaboo, combine a waterproof shell and a fleece or insulated inner jacket that can be worn together or separately.

Trousers are sized as waist by inseam in inches, for example 32x32. The method is explained in the guide to measuring pit to pit.

More outdoor brands are on the The North Face, Patagonia and outdoor clothing pages. The guide to outdoor gear covers the fabrics, and Gore-Tex, Down and DWR explains membranes and water repellency.
