Columbia puts OutDry into clothing for the first time
16/06/2015
The brand has produced its first waterproof jackets and pants using the OutDry Extreme product. The garments have a waterproof layer on the outside and a wicking fabric on the inside. They also have a high level of breathability for comfort.
Material on the outside also has waterproof seam taping and a high level of abrasion resistance.
This combination of features offers outdoor enthusiasts a series of improvements on standard waterproof clothing, Columbia said on announcing the development. Standard solutions wet out over time, it said, and have membranes on the inside that can create a clammy, hot feeling for the wearer and restrict breathability.
