When you're slinking through the cattails, this insulated, windproof, waterproof jacket has your back. Specifically engineered for hunting waterfowl, the jacket's Omni-Heat thermal reflective liner provides supreme body-heat retention while facilitating airflow, and the Omni-Heat thermal insulation delivers even more warmth with a soft, down-like feel.

The premium Omni-Tech waterproof and breathable upper seals out wet weather. An extended collar flips up to reach the bottom of your hunting cap, so that you can completely seal out the wind and cold from your neck and face. The jacket's lower can tuck easily into waders for complete coverage. Handy zippered security pockets at the center chest provide easy access to cell phones and other on-the-fly essentials.

Columbia's Omni-Heat Thermal Comfort technology helps maintain warmth and prevent heat loss, keeping you comfortable in cold weather. Omni-Heat is the ultimate system for managing your body heat when you're in the outdoors. From technical base-layer garments to advanced electronics, Omni-Heat ensures that you stay warm and comfortable in cold conditions. Omni-Heat products help you counter the cold anywhere and everywhere.

The Omni-Heat Thermal Reflective technology helps regulate your temperature by reflecting and retaining the warmth your body generates--all while dissipating moisture and excess heat to keep you comfortable. The technology truly manages body heat for exceptional performance in the outdoors. It provides an average heat boost of 20 percent without any additional weight or bulk, and, when coupled with other insulating fills, its metallic nature neutralizes the static that can cause migration and discomfort.

To maintain warmth and prevent heat loss, this product features Omni-Heat Thermal Insulated technology--a soft, eco-friendly, 50-percent recycled fill that is the warmest insulation by weight in the industry. It enables you to stay cozy with less bulk on your back or in your bags.

The Omni-Tech Waterproof Breathable material 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.
