Columbia, a large all-weather outdoor apparel manufacturer in the United States, launched its iconic 3-in-1 jacket in 1986 and became the benchmark for jacket making in the industry. Although sales in Colombia have steadily increased in recent years, few outdoor professionals choose Colombian products for outdoor activities. Strictly speaking, Colombia is not a professional outdoor brand, but more of a casual outdoor brand.
Colombian down jackets are filled with 90% goose down or duck down, with a filling capacity of between 100-150g, and the down fill power varies from 650 to 1000, but there are fewer extremely high fill power down jacket products, and 700 and 800 fill power down jackets still account for the mainstream of the brand's product line. Judging from the warmth indicators of the two down jackets of fluffiness and down filling capacity, the Colombian down jacket is indeed more suitable as a general warmth level product in the city.
Turbo Down and Omni-Heat Reflective are two types of clothing insulation technologies in Colombia. Turbo Down technology reduces heat dissipation points, locks body heat while ensuring high breathability, and combines Omega heat reflection technology to add silver polka dot reflective material to the inner layer of the down jacket, which is officially claimed to reflect and effectively lock body heat and continue to keep warm, but according to many users, the technology has not significantly improved the warmth effect.
In terms of down jacket waterproofing, Colombia applies the exclusive Omni-Tech Omega waterproof technology, and the fabric has a microporous waterproof membrane that can effectively block moisture infiltration, while the breathable lining helps quickly remove moisture. In the more voluminous 900 or 1000 Turbodown Wave down jackets, Colombia also uses its first waterproof and breathable fabric, OutDry Extreme, with a tough waterproof membrane on the outside and a soft moisture-wicking fabric on the inside, which better balances warmth and waterproof and breathable properties for moderate outdoor sports.
As a casual outdoor brand preferred by the public, Colombia takes more into account the practical needs of the city in the design details of down jackets, such as the three-in-one system of the jacket is applied to the down jacket, some products can be detached and flexibly matched according to the weather conditions, and the overall dressing style is more diverse, in addition to the wire hole to fix the earphone cable, which is convenient for answering calls or playing music. There is a wide range of regular and midi lengths, including a slim fit for Asians.
However, compared with the north side of the same positioning for leisure and outdoor, the Colombian down jacket is also more than 2,000 yuan, but it is slightly inferior in workmanship, and there are many fake and shoddy products on the market, consumers should buy them through formal channels.
