Columbia

Shotski Jacket - Men's

Omni-TECH is Columbia Sportswear's proprietary technology that provides a waterproof and breathable fabric. This means that while it keeps water from getting in, it also allows sweat to escape. This dual functionality helps you stay dry and comfortable during outdoor activities, especially in wet conditions like rain or snow, making it ideal for hiking, skiing, or any adventure in unpredictable weather.

Omni-HEAT features a reflective lining that captures and retains the warmth your body generates. This technology enhances insulation, keeping you warmer without adding bulk. It's particularly effective in jackets and outerwear designed for winter sports, ensuring you stay cozy even in the coldest conditions.

Microtemp XF II is an advanced insulation made from recycled polyester, designed to provide warmth without excessive bulk. This makes it perfect for active outdoor activities where mobility is key, such as skiing or snowboarding. Its lightweight nature ensures you can move freely while still staying warm, making it a sustainable and performance-oriented choice.

Critical Seams Sealed refers to a construction technique where the most vulnerable seams of a waterproof garment are sealed with waterproof tape. This prevents water from seeping through these stitched areas, significantly enhancing the jacket's overall waterproof capability. This feature is crucial for keeping you dry during heavy rain or snow.

A powder skirt is a built-in barrier at the bottom of ski and snowboard jackets that helps prevent snow from entering the jacket. This is especially useful if you fall or if snow is kicked up while you're skiing. Many powder skirts are adjustable or removable, allowing you to customize your fit and comfort based on your preferences and the conditions.

The combination of Omni-TECH, Omni-HEAT, Microtemp XF II insulation, Critical Seams Sealed, and a powder skirt creates a comprehensive system designed for optimal performance in harsh weather. Together, they ensure you stay dry, warm, and comfortable, allowing you to focus on enjoying your outdoor activities without worrying about the elements.
