Columbia introduces new insulation material

22/11/2013
Outdoor brand Columbia has combined its proprietary Omni-Heat thermal insulation synthetic down with natural down to make a new insulation material that it is calling TurboDown.

It consists of Omni-Heat technology layered with natural down in a single baffle. And, according to Columbia, the end result is an industry first, a quilted, baffled jacket that “has the look, feel and comfort of a down jacket, but performs in all conditions, wet and dry”.
