The Peak Power is outfitted with Omni-Dry, Columbia Sportswear's highest level of waterproof-breathability. Featuring an ultra-light laminate membrane that's over 50 percent air, this jacket is more breathable and lighter than similar 3-layer shells. Other unique innovations include underarm vents that zip that open to further disperse excess heat and have two-way zipper pulls that allow you to customize the amount of ventilation. A lapel tab connector that lets you completely unzip your jacket and then fasten it closed at the chest for maximum ventilation without flaps flopping around. And a sticky, silicone treatment at each shoulder protects against the abrasion of your pack straps and keeps them from slipping and sliding around. Laser-cut Invizzip zippers on the hand pockets are clean and discreet, and a waterproof front zipper provides added wet-stopping reinforcement.

Omni-Dry technology ensures waterproof breathable protection from the elements.

Columbia's most breathable waterproof technology, Omni-Dry is designed to keep you dry during highly aerobic activity, whatever the weather. This extremely air permeable waterproof fabric transfers the moisture vapors you generate out of the garment at an extremely high rate, while still shedding the elements in the worst conditions. Omni-Dry is the ultimate in waterproof technology for the outdoors. During physical activity, increased body temperature can cause perspiration. In garments with low breathability, this results in condensation causing the wearer to feel damp, clammy or even wet. This is often mistaken for leaky or faulty construction, and is always uncomfortable. With Omni-Dry, air is able to circulate through the fabric, helping to regulate the conditions in the garment and keep excess moisture from collecting inside, while still maintaining its wind blocking properties. This is achievable because the Omni-Dry membrane is highly air permeable and extremely thin and lightweight.
