About Columbia's Omni Technologies
This garment is outfitted with Columbia's Omni-Shade and
Omni-Dry technologies. Columbia's Omni-Shade clothing protects
you from damaging UV radiation by blocking the majority of the
sun's harmful rays, letting you stay out longer on sunny days.
Unlike SPF (Sun Protection Factor)--which is a measure of sunburn
reduction from sunblock and protects you from UVA
rays--Columbia's Omni-Shade products are far more versatile,
combining a tight-weave construction, UV reflectors, and UV
absorbing technology. These features not only prevent sunburns
and long-term skin damage, but they also protect the wearer from
UVB rays in addition to UVA rays. UVB rays are much more harmful
than UVA, and are present even on cloudy days. Plus, Omni-Shade
doesn't wear off. Instead, your safety increases as the
Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) increases. Several layers of
Omni-Shade protection are available: UPF 15, UPF 30, UPF 40, and
UPF 50-plus. It's like sunscreen, but you don't have to reapply.
All Omni-Shade fabric carries the Skin Cancer Foundation's Seal
of Recommendation, which is given to sun-protective fabrics that
have a minimum UPF of 30.
Omni-Dry is the ultimate moisture-management technology for the
outdoors. Its superior wicking properties move moisture away from
the body and helps sweat evaporate. During physical activity,
increased body temperature causes perspiration. Normally this
results in damp, clammy, and uncomfortable (not to mention
unattractive) clothing. With Omni-Dry clothing, however, moisture
is quickly wicked up into the fabric and away from the wearer's
skin. The moisture then spreads out across the surface of the
fabric and quickly evaporates. This wicking/evaporation process
keeps you cool and the clothing dry. This not only helps regulate
your temperature, but it also prevents chafing and keeps you
comfortable all day.

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. They 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.
