In comparison with our urban womens parka coat , our hiking and walking jackets are designed so that you can stay active in them on your adventures. A softshell women's jacket is an ideal choice for any nature walk. It will provide you with insulation, wind protection and light water resistance. Softshell jackets are soft and stretchy, making them incredibly comfortable to walk around in.

Our historic women's 3 in 1 jacket is another great walking jacket. These versatile interchange jackets can be worn three ways. Wear the inner fleece layer for mild and dry weather, the outer waterproof jacket for mild and wet weather and zip the layers together for cold and wet weather.

The inner fleece will keep you warm if you’re hiking up a mountain for some crisp and dry mountain air. The waterproof shell jacket will keep you dry if you’re cycling through a drizzle. Wear both layers together for your coldest adventures. Are you planning a ski trip with the kids? Pack up your ski gear into your backpack, kit yourself up in your interchange jacket and keep warmth in and moisture out.

Insulation and waterproof technologies

Our thermal-reflective and waterproof technologies keep you warm and dry on your nature quests. Our Omni-Heat™ technology utilises gold dots, black dots, silver reflectors and silver dots to efficiently reflect body heat and keep you warm. However, we also know that heat isn’t enough for true outdoor enthusiasts. That’s why our jackets are also breathable and moisture-wicking, allowing excess heat and moisture to escape.

Columbia’s waterproof technologies Omni-Tech™ and Outdry™ Extreme make sure you stay dry inside and out. Omni-Tech™ equips your womens waterproof jacket with several layers of waterproof protection. Outdry™ Extreme tech also delivers an impenetrable external membrane and sealed seams. Our selection of Outdry™ Extreme Eco clothing is made using 100% recycled fabrics.
