Jackets in the category “drizzle” include soft shell jackets and lightweight windbreakers. These won’t be able to handle stronger rain but can resist moisture absorption with a repellency that lasts – Perfect for drizzle. Light rain gear in the category “rain” is made of waterproof fabric and has sealed seams where the seams are exposed. These hybrid jackets will protect you from light rain and wind.

“Downpour” jackets mean seam‑sealed rain gear with air‑permeable waterproof protection. Finally, coats in the category “deluge” are the ultimate rain gear with zero wet out and complete protection.

Columbia Sportswear's waterproof jackets are designed to resist anything nature throws at you. That means that our technology will keep you safe and dry no matter what climate you’ll be tackling during your next outdoor adventure.

Who could forget that Gert Boyle, the founder of Columbia Sportswear with her famous sense of humour, strapped her son to her car roof and drove through a rainstorm? Many of us remember the iconic Columbia ads from the 80s and 90s, where the “Tough Mother” sent her son through a carwash or performed other experiments in the name of product testing. At Columbia, we keep the motto Gert Boyle stood by: “It’s perfect. Now make it better.”

Columbia Omni-Tech™ and Outdry™ waterproof technologies

Not all brands are created equal, but you can count on Columbia’s waterproof and breathable clothing to keep you dry in whatever outdoor adventures you’ve got planned.

Omni-Tech™ technology brings you water-defying versatility, featuring multi-layered waterproof protection. Our mens jackets are not only waterproof but also windproof. At the same time, the coats are made from breathable materials to enable moisture and excess heat to escape.

Outdry™ Extreme makes sure you stay dry inside and out on your adventures. Whether you’re facing heavy rain, snow, or extreme conditions, our seam-sealed jackets will take care of you.

Outdry™ Extreme is equipped with a technical, external impenetrable membrane. There’s also internal wicking to give you next-to-skin comfort. As if that wasn’t enough, Outdry™ Extreme Eco makes sure that the external membrane isn’t just waterproof and breathable but also eco-friendly. The materials used are made of 100% recycled fabric, and the dye-free process means that less water is used. We think it’s essential to make sure that the clothing you’re buying isn’t just taking care of you but also the planet.

Get all this without compromising on quality or comfort. All the jackets have a soft-touch lining on the inside, and with our high-quality materials, you won’t have to worry about having to repair clothes. These clothes are designed to last.
