Columbia

Highland Summit II Insulated Jacket - Women's

Omni-Tech is Columbia Sportswear's proprietary technology that features a waterproof and breathable membrane. This means that while it keeps water from getting in, it also allows moisture from sweat to escape. This dual function keeps you dry and comfortable during activities like skiing and snowboarding, ensuring you can enjoy your time outdoors without feeling weighed down by wet clothing.

Microtemp XF II insulation is made from 85% recycled polyester and 15% polyester, designed to provide warmth while remaining lightweight. This means you can stay warm in cold weather without feeling bulky or restricted in your movements, making it perfect for active pursuits like skiing or hiking.

Omni-Heat technology features a thermal-reflective lining that reflects your body heat back to you. This helps retain warmth without adding extra weight to the jacket. It's especially beneficial in cold environments, allowing you to stay warm and comfortable without the need for heavy layers.

A powder skirt is a built-in barrier at the waist of ski and snowboard jackets that prevents snow from entering the jacket. This feature is particularly useful if you fall or if snow is kicked up while you're skiing. It helps keep you dry and comfortable, allowing you to focus on your performance rather than worrying about snow getting inside your gear.

The droptail design means that the back of the jacket is longer than the front, providing extra coverage for your lower back. This is especially useful when bending or sitting, such as when you're skiing or snowboarding. It helps keep you warm and protected from the elements, ensuring you can move freely without exposing your skin to cold air or snow.

Yes! Many of Columbia's jackets, especially those featuring Microtemp XF II insulation, are made from recycled materials. This commitment to sustainability means you can enjoy high-performance outdoor gear while also being mindful of the environment, making your purchase a responsible choice.
