Omni-Wick is an innovative technology characterized by efficient wicking of body moisture, temperature regulation and fast-drying materials. It keeps the skin dry and comfortable during activity, and can reduce the development of odors.
Omni-Shade keeps you safe during sun activities. Thanks to its compact weave construction and UV-absorbing substances, it effectively blocks ultraviolet A and B rays (UVA and UVB). It features several levels of sun protection, indicated by a numerical filter value such as SPF50.
Insect Shield is a technology used in Columbia clothing that permanently integrates the insecticide permethrin into the fabric fibers. This provides long-lasting protection against insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, flies, and black flies. The advantage of this technology is that it is invisible and odorless, which means that the clothing retains its natural look, breathability, and comfort. The technology has been registered by the American Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and is safe for users.
