The DWR coating makes the fabric water repellent, so that water forms droplets on its surface and runs off instead of soaking in. This protects the fabric from getting wet quickly, providing greater comfort in wet conditions, but does not guarantee full water repellency.

An innovative membrane used in Columbia brand clothing and footwear. It guarantees excellent water repellency, maximises the level of breathability of the material and wicks excess moisture away.

It is a revolutionary thermal technology that regulates body temperature without adding bulk or weight to the garment. By increasing heat retention and preventing heat loss, it helps keep you comfortable even in the harshest winter conditions.

Microtemp XF II provides lightweight synthetic insulation that effectively retains heat in variable weather conditions. Fibres of varying thicknesses create a resilient layer that allows the material to retain its warming properties even when wet. The result is stable thermal comfort without adding bulk to the garment.
