Brand Spotlight: Why Columbia’s Omni-Heat™ Infinity Is the Key to Achieving Absolute Warmth This Winter

There’s one question many outdoor enthusiasts ask: How can I be more comfortable spending time outside in the cold? For years, Columbia has been developing innovative technologies so that Canadians can do just that!

Inspired by the reflective technology used by NASA, Omni-Heat™  Infinity features a new expanded pattern of gold metallic dots to reflect and retain body heat, delivering instant warmth without compromising breathability. The key ingredient is actually the metal foil. The human body emits radiant heat in the form of invisible infrared radiation and metals have unique properties that reflect radiant heat. The metal is applied to the fabric in a discontinuous pattern to cover 50% of the fabrics surface area while still providing significant breathability. 

Columbia’s Omni-Heat™  Infinity Thermal Reflective plays a key role in keeping their winter outerwear, breathable, and most importantly, warm.
