Columbia’s Omni-Tech Waterproof Breathable technology helps you stay dry in wet conditions. It’s a multi-layer weather protection system that keeps outside elements from getting in, while still allowing moisture vapors to move away from the skin. These products provide premium waterproof and breathable protection. Microporous membranes keep water from penetrating the fabric, yet allow perspiration to escape so you stay dry.
Omni-Tech’s first layer of defense is called Omni-Shield, a technology that prevents most water from ever making contact with the inner layers. Next, a microporous membrane provides the primary and most impervious layer of defense by completely blocking the passage of water molecules into the item. Omni-Tech membranes are 100 percent air permeable, which means they allow moisture vapors to escape. This superior breathability keeps you dry from the inside out. Finally, lining materials protect the Omni-Tech membrane from underneath while adding additional wicking properties.

About Columbia Sportswear
Founded in 1938, Columbia Sportswear Company has grown from a small family-owned hat distributor to one of the world’s largest outerwear brands and the leading seller of skiwear in the United States. Columbia’s extensive product line includes a wide variety of outerwear, sportswear, rugged footwear and accessories. Columbia specializes in developing innovative products that are functional yet stylish and offer great value. Eighty-year-old matriarch Gert Boyle, chairman of the board, and her son, Tim Boyle, president and CEO, lead the company.
Columbia’s history starts with Gert’s parents, Paul and Marie Lamfrom, when they fled Germany in 1937. They bought a small hat distributorship in Portland, Oregon, and named it Columbia Hat Company, after the river bordering the city. Soon frustrated by poor deliveries from suppliers, the Lamfroms decided to start manufacturing products themselves. In 1948, Gert married college sweetheart Neal Boyle, who joined the family business and later took the helm of the growing company. When Neal suddenly died of a heart attack in 1970, Gert enlisted help from Tim, then a college senior. After that it wasn’t long before business really started to take off. Columbia was one of the first companies to make jackets from waterproof/breathable fabric. The company introduced the breakthrough technology called the Columbia Interchange System, in which a shell and liner combine for multiple wearing options. In the early 1980s, then-60-year-old Gert began her role as “Mother Boyle” in Columbia’s successful and popular advertising campaign.
The company went public in 1998 and moved into a new era as a world leader in the active outdoor apparel industry. Today, Columbia Sportswear employs more than 1,800 people around the world and distributes and sells products in more than 50 countries and to more than 12,000 retailers internationally.

A great new jacket,
Columbia Hail Tech Titanium Jacket Mens:
This jacket is a great “MULTI USE” jacket, I love the Columbia product but was getting a little tired of the color block black shoulder look with the nylon the you can hear from across the room.
NEW Omni Tech, super soft almost a peached hand, softer than regular nylon.
Seams fully taped, solid colors and a decent hood.
The sleeves are slightly beveled so they are just not square velcro.
Zippers are the waterproof style so they give it a technical look.
The chest pocket is also a waterproof zipper, great for a cell phone.
This jacket has lots of features and no crazy extra features you don’t need.
This jacket is very lightweight and could be compared to a $200+ gore tex jacket!
It would not work on the deadliest catch but is super comfortable for a “parking lot to store” trip.
Keep dry and be comfortable.
CONS: Big logos, I wish they would just put a hit on the sleeve.

|A ridiculously awesome rain jacket,
This rain jacket is a little expensive – but the level of awesomeness surpasses any worry about the price. I use this for school…I have to bike to school in the rain…and biking in the rain is pretty wet. This jacket tho keeps me completely dry. It is super lightweight too – I’ve rolled it up and thrown it in my backpack quite a few times. Even tho its thin and lightweight, it actually keeps the wind out and keeps you pretty warm too – an added bonus, as it is normally cool-ish out when it rains. The jacket is also very comfortable, has zip-up pockets for cell-phones/wallets/keys and a hood that can be tightened. Overall, this is a perfect rain jacket. I don’t think I could have gotten a better jacket even if I spent $200 on one.

|Columbia is a great brand,
This jacket is great. It is true to size and is truly waterproof. I tested it today in the rain. It is a very light jacket, but really holds the heat in.
Update: I played 18 holes in the rain this weekend wearing this jacket and did not get wet. I am very impressed by this jacket. Now my wife wants one!
