7 Winter Must-Haves With Omni-Heat™ Infinity

Check out Columbia Sportswear’s best winter gear featuring the new Omni-Heat™ Infinity technology
BY RACHEL CAVANAUGH
Columbia Sportswear has dropped its latest reflective heat technology in the form of Omni-Heat™ Infinity, a gold liner that reflects 40 percent more body heat than the original. The new technology follows the similarly innovative Black Dot technology, which increases the surface area of the reflective foil to keep you significantly warmer. It is so warm, in fact, that it will be used in an upcoming space mission to the moon, providing thermal insulation for the Nova-C lunar lander. The high-tech liners will appear this winter in more than 80 items of clothing and footwear, including jackets, boots, hats, and ski pants. Below are seven of our favorites.
