The innovative new Omni-Heat Black Dot jacket from Columbia Sportswear introduces "the outdoor industry's first external thermal shield" and a textile that acts like a heat magnet. The textile is made up of thousands of multilayered black dots that capture and retain solar heat, so that the wearer is comfortable inside and out. This first-of-its-kind external thermal shield complements Columbia's Omni-Heat 3D thermal-reflective lining, offering a comprehensive solution for fighting off the chill of winter weather.
The Omni-Heat Black Dot jackets are available in styles for men and women are backed by lab and field testing that shows how effective these jackets are for heating up—and holding that heat—better than jackets without the technology.
