Ever feel warm and stuffy wearing a waterproof jacket or raincoat? Columbia’s new OutDry Extreme is the first waterproof ultra-breathable jacket with a waterproof membrane on the outside of the jacket for permanent water repellency and durability. Making it the perfect and must-have hiking gear. The Columbia Outdry Extreme Gold jacket is now readily available at all Columbia stores in Singapore for S$299.
What is Outdry Extreme?
By putting an abrasion-resistant membrane on the outside where it is in contact with the rain, there is virtually no risk of the jacket “wetting out” like others do when their DWR wears off. Making it a durable, permanent waterproof layer that actively repels moisture and rain.
OutDry Extreme is ultra-breathable by having microscopic perforations in the membrane that allows moisture to escape while keeping rain at bay. The interior lining is a wicking textile that enables even more breathability and next-to-skin comfort, as opposed to a plastic-feel next to skin. This patent-pending technology is an enormous jump forward in keeping dry and comfortable no matter what Mother Nature throws at you.
OutDry Extreme technology gears have been tested by guides, professional outdoors people, and ordinary outdoor enthusiasts from around the world (on every continent including Antarctica) for over one and a half year. It’s been through the paces in nearly every soggy, wet, humid and chilly environment on Earth. And had showed the testers the critical difference in breathability that OutDry Extreme offers over traditional jackets.
