• 3-in-1 Jackets: The ultimate multi-purpose jacket, the 3-in-1 is an exceptional hybrid that truly gives you three jackets in one. This style features a light inner fleece layer and a waterproof outershell. Each layer can be worn individually or put together with a quick zip or two, delivering versatility and protection.

How to Choose the Right Men’s Outdoor Wear Jackets

Choosing the right outdoor jacket depends heavily on where you’ll be wearing it and what type of activity you'll be doing. Before buying, you will want to ensure you’re getting the most out of your outerwear. To help guide you, here are some top features to consider when looking for the perfect coat.

For icy temperatures and snow, look for a jacket that provides ample insulation and warmth, especially if you plan to be stationary outside for long periods. For ultimate warmth, check out our models featuring our Omni-HeatTM Infinity. This exclusive technology uses a thermal-reflective pattern that delivers increased heat retention while remaining highly breathable.

If you think you will encounter some seriously wet weather, look for jackets that include Omni-TechTM. Omni-TechTM is our waterproof, breathable technology that delivers versatile protection through multilayered construction. It sheds water and wind to keep you dry and comfortable.

During the summer months, consider a lightweight shell with waterproofing that is easy to pack away. This ensures you can stay dry during unexpected summer showers.

Looking for a jacket that offers versatility? We recommend one of Columbia’s 3-in-1 styles. While many brands offer their own versions, ours guarantees performance and protection, warmth, waterproofing, comfort and style for every adventure.

How to Care for Your Men’s Outdoor Wear Jackets

Caring for and maintaining your men’s outdoor wear jackets depends significantly on the model you choose. For best results, follow the specific instructions that come with your coat. Here are some general tips to keep your jacket looking and performing its best.

• Remove dirt and debris after every wear. This can be done with a gentle brush.
• Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. This will keep colours from fading and help preserve the fabric’s integrity.
• Use a technical wash for jackets featuring a waterproof (or other technical) finish.
• Tumble dry on low heat. This helps to reactivate technical coatings and can help re-fluff down and synthetic insulation.
• Once completely dry, hang and store your apparel in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping your coat compressed for long periods.

Whatever the weather, whatever the adventure, Columbia’s selection of men’s outdoor wear jackets has a style for everyone. Browse our collection today and find the perfect one for you!
