Columbia’s Omni-Heat Infinity is the latest thermal-reflective technology released across their fall-winter lineup. That dazzling flash of gold on the interior of their new outerwear and select footwear reflects your precious body heat back to you instantly, delivering constant radiant warmth.
It’s a technology built on many years of innovation and a concept inspired by NASA, who pioneered heat-reflective technology beginning in the 1960s. Today, Columbia’s new gold liner mixes large dots in with small, allowing them to cover a greater surface area with the reflective foil—keeping you warmer.
And it gets better. Since the foil dots are placed in a discontinuous pattern, porous material in the tiny spaces between the dots allows your body to breathe while it simultaneously warms up.
If you place your hand next to the lining, you can feel the heat reflecting back. It’s that instantaneous.
The technology is explained in the video below.
As well as appearing in adult jackets like the Men’s Labyrinth Loop™ Omni-Heat™ Infinity Insulated Hooded Jacket and the Women’s Little Si™ Omni-Heat™ Infinity Insulated Parka, the technology is also available in children’s pieces, two of which we tried out recently.
Girls’ Mighty Mogul™ II Omni-Heat™ Infinity Insulated Jacket
Girls will stay comfy long-term in this jacket thanks to synthetic insulation that will perform in intense cold, with waterproof-breathable tech ready for variable slopes, frigid toboggan runs or slushy playgrounds.
The helmet-compatible hood (fleece-lined, very deep) and powder skirt are resort-ready, and the geometric print (Bright Geranium Smorgas Berg – ha!) will really stand out on dull days or while night-shredding.
Plus: Columbia’s Outgrown system lets you extend the cuffs next season.
