Columbia Sportswear introduces spring HIKE collection [sponsored]
Columbia Sportswear products have been providing users with comfort and protection from rain, cold and scorching sun for more than 80 years. In recent years, more and more people have come to appreciate outdoor activities, and it is for them that the American brand has prepared the HIKE collection, which is great for both the city and the trail.
Technological newcomer to the spring-summer 2022 collection is OutDry Extreme Mesh – the first outer waterproof breathable membrane with a soft, dry mesh interior. OutDry Extreme Mesh uses OutDry Extreme’s flexible, waterproof and breathable membrane, which, combined with mesh, allows for faster moisture wicking, higher breathability and next-to-skin comfort. This combination makes it the most breathable version of OutDry Extreme ever. In addition, the inclusion of a waterproof, abrasion-resistant membrane in the outer layer of the garment eliminates the risk of the jacket “soaking” as happens with traditional 3-layer rainwear when the outer DWR layer wears off.
