Columbia to kit out Nevis Range staff

06/03/2012
US outdoor brand Columbia Sportswear has partnered up with Scottish year-round mountain resort, the Nevis Range, to provide staff with Columbia’s innovative winter Omni-Heat technology and products.
       
The Omni-Heat thermal reflective lining “takes warmth levels to new highs” according to Columbia, while underarm venting allows the wearer to get rid of excess heat quickly as conditions change. It has security and goggle pockets, a removable snap back powder skirt and a removable hood.

The Omni-Tech waterproof-breathable membrane locks snow out, Columbia claims, whilst allowing the body’s natural heat and moisture to escape, Inside, 80 grams of Omni-Heat insulation combine with the thermo-regulating powers of thermal reflective technology to retain the wearer’s natural body heat. The High N Dry waistband flips up to create a snow-blocking barrier.
