“It's perfect. Now make it better.”

For bigger corporate clients, the brand name itself is enough of a selling point to get them to buy these premium branded products. But, when you're trying to upsell to clients with smaller budgets, being able to point out and explain what these features do, can get them to spend a little more than they may have planned to. And really, who doesn't want to make more money?
Let's take a closer look at some of the technology you'll find built into your favorite Columbia styles.
OMNI-WICK™
Omni-Wick™ gives you high-performance wicking that pulls moisture away from your body, accelerating the evaporation process, so you can stay dry on those sunny days.
OMNI-SHADE™
If you're going to be out in the sun all day, you'll want Omni-Shade™ protecting you. While you're out on that fishing expedition, this technology utilizes moisture wicking fabric that will not only keep you cool, but also deflect sunlight, blocking harmful UVA and UVB rays from hitting your body.
ONMI-HEAT™
Just because you need a little extra warmth, doesn't mean you should pack on the layers. Omni-Heat™ uses lightweight synthetic insulation to give you a "high warmth-to-weight" ratio, which helps to keep those extra layers off.
OMNI-TECH™
Whether you're going on an adventurous hike on the trail or traveling to work, you'll want to make sure your outerwear can handle those unexpected downpours. Omni-Tech™ keeps you dry by using multi-layered waterproof protection, but also comfortable, because of its breathable material.
