The technologies behind every piece of technical fleece for women

As you probably know, at Columbia, we have a dedicated team of experts who work hard to come up with scientific answers to problems. We don’t want snow, wind, water or slippery terrain to be obstacles that keep you from hitting the trail.

There are many sportswear brands out there, but not all sportswear is created equal. Most of our clothing and gear are enhanced with one or more of our technologies. When it comes to our fleeces, that means we’ve equipped them with a special wicking technology: Omni-Wick™.

Our wicking technology was, as the name suggests, developed to wick away excessive moisture and stains from your clothes. That can mean your own sweat, but also rain and mud. Clothing and gear with this tech are obvious choices for sports where you want to work up a sweat.

Our technical fleeces for women are enhanced with Omni-Wick™ moisture-wicking technology and are great for active performances. It keeps you dry and comfortable and lets the air through your clothes while still keeping you warm. Here are some extra benefits that moisture-wicking can bring you:

• Efficient wicking of moisture from your body
• Dispersion of moisture through the fabric
• Accelerated evaporation: quicker drying

How to choose the perfect fleece for women

When choosing the ideal piece of fleece clothing for you, you shouldn’t pick the first thing you see in a store. Research and compare options to find your new favourite fleece. Think about what you’ll need the technical fleece for. Is it coming with you on a lighter walk or an intense hike? Do you plan on going trekking or fast hiking in it? Or do you need it for your winter sports activities? We’re sure you’ll find a great option to keep you warm as you enjoy outdoor activities this winter.

For milder weather, go for a lighter hoodie, pullover or a gilet. They can be used as a top layer when you’re heading out on an adventure. They’re also very versatile. Heading from the trails to the city? Throw your technical fleece over a long-sleeved women’s shirt and leggings, paired with a pair of sneakers. The result is a comfortable and casual fit that works with most styles.

If you’re about to head to a colder climate, use our fleeces for layering. Start with a base layer, use your lightweight fleece as the middle layer, and finish the look with a waterproof jacket or one of our coats.

The beauty of having bought a technical fleece is that it provides comfort all year round. From transitional periods to deep winter—You can always count on being warm and stylish.
