Our 3-in-1 jackets include one inner layer of fleece and one waterproof outer shell layer and can be worn three ways. Your three options are: Wearing only the inner fleece in dryer and milder weather, wearing only the outer jacket in wet and milder weather, or wearing them together in wet and cold weather. That means you can kit yourself up in all the clothes you need this season with only one product.

If you’re on a hiking trip enjoying the crisp and dry mountain air, the comfortable fleece layer will keep you warm and cosy on the road. Maybe you’re taking a walk through the beautiful country as the drizzle covers the landscape view in glittering drops. Then that waterproof outer jacket is the perfect companion to keep you nice and dry. Plus, various pockets are available to safely store your belongings.

What if you and your kids are ready to strap on your winter boots and pack up your boards and ski gear? Simply zip up the fleece and the outer shell, add a few pairs of gloves into those backpacks, and you’re ready to go! Sure, the interchange jackets don’t have all the ski features that our mens ski jackets do, but the two dynamic layers will still effectively keep you warm and dry on the slopes. With these two versatile layers, you can be ready for most weather conditions.

Omni-Heat™: Columbia reflective technology

Our jackets help you stay warm and toasty in any weather, with advanced thermal-reflective technology that retains body heat. After all, when you’re standing on the top of a mountain, you want to be able to enjoy the view; not longing to get down because you’re freezing. We’ll get into our technologies now, but in practical terms, they keep the warmth in and the cold out, so you can enjoy the outdoors all day long.

Omni-Heat™ Reflective technology makes use of small silver dots, intensifying heat retention and body heat reflection. It delivers lightweight insulation, so that your jacket is easily packable and portable. It also makes it perfect for when you’re staying active on longer nature quests.

Our Omni-Heat™ 3D technology uses silver reflectors with expanded coverage to give you next-dimension warmth. Next-to-skin comfort is also optimised, as small pods with soft fibres create a pleasant air gap under your jacket.

Columbia’s Omni-Heat™ Black Dot tech is equipped with tiny black dots to capture solar heat. It also utilises an advanced technical thermal shield to reduce heat loss and deliver outside-in thermal effectiveness.

Last but certainly not least, Omni-Heat™ Infinity’s tiny gold dots deliver Columbia’s highest reflection technology. An appreciated detail about Omni-Heat™ padded clothing is their moisture-wicking quality. This makes the jackets highly breathable, allowing excess heat and moisture to escape and enabling you to stay nice and dry.

Omni-Tech™ & Outdry™: Columbia waterproof technology

When you’re out in the elements, you want to make sure you and your items stay nice and dry. For that reason, Columbia’s waterproof jackets are equipped with our waterproof technology Omni-Tech™ and Outdry™ Extreme.

Omni-Tech™ gives you multi-layered windproof and waterproof protection, ensuring that not a single drop of water enters your mens waterproof jacket. The high breathability of our waterproof coats also enables you to stay dry both inside and out. It’s moisture-wicking ability lets moisture and excess heat exit the fabric.

Columbia’s Outdry™ Extreme has an impenetrable external membrane and delivers completely sealed seams. And because we want to do our part to take care of both you and our planet, Outdry™ Extreme Eco jackets use only 100% recycled fabrics.
