You’ve seen the commercials.
Omni-Heat is 20% warmer.
So is it legit?
Check out the vids below, and the write up even further below.
As part of this program, they reached out to SlopeSource to test out the Powder Bowl Parka.
Here’s the scoop.
Is it 20% warmer?
I don’t know.
I’m not sure how you measure this.
I can say, it is definitely warm.
What impressed me is the breathability.
So am I sold on Omni-Heat?
Yes, I do think it works quite well.
Is it 20% warmer?
I’ll trust Columbia on that one.
Both the shell and the liner have this feature.
Omni-Tech: This is a waterproof and breathable fabric featured on the shell.
Omni-Shield: An advanced repellency system on the liner.
My favorite features:
Liner – I love the liner.
I wear it all the time.
It’s light, warm, simple and super comfy.
Pit Zips – These are well designed.
Pockets – Tons of well-designed pockets with waterproof zippers.
And it has hand warmer pockets and two gear pockets on the front.
Fleece – The fleece that lines the pockets and neck of both jackets is super soft.
Not as much of an issue on the liner.
