Columbia

Highland Summit II Insulated Bib Pant - Women's

Omni-Tech is Columbia Sportswear's proprietary technology that provides a waterproof and breathable fabric. This means it keeps water out while allowing sweat and moisture to escape, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable during activities like skiing or snowboarding. It’s perfect for unpredictable weather conditions, allowing you to focus on your performance without worrying about getting wet.

Rebound Stretch fabric is designed to move with your body, providing flexibility and comfort during active movements. Made from 100% polyester, it stretches when you need it to and returns to its original shape afterward. This feature is crucial for maintaining freedom of movement, especially in dynamic sports like skiing and snowboarding.

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent, which is a special coating applied to the fabric of your clothing. This treatment helps water bead up and roll off instead of soaking in, keeping you dry during light rain or snow. It’s an essential feature for outdoor gear, ensuring that you stay comfortable and protected from the elements.

Omni-Heat technology features a thermal reflective lining with small metallic dots that reflect and retain your body heat. This innovative design allows the clothing to keep you warm while remaining lightweight, making it ideal for cold weather activities. You can enjoy warmth without feeling weighed down, which is especially beneficial during long days on the slopes.

Gaiters are protective coverings worn over the lower legs to prevent snow, water, and debris from entering your boots and pants. Internal leg gaiters, like those found in the Columbia Highland Summit II Insulated Bib Pant, provide an extra layer of protection against snow infiltration. This feature is crucial for maintaining comfort and dryness during winter sports, allowing you to stay focused on your performance.

The combination of Omni-Tech, Rebound Stretch, DWR treatment, Omni-Heat, and gaiters creates a comprehensive protective system for outdoor activities. Together, they ensure you stay dry, warm, and comfortable while allowing for maximum mobility. This synergy of features is designed to enhance your overall experience, making it easier to enjoy your time on the slopes without distractions from the weather or discomfort.
