Omni-Dry Advanced Evaporation is a moisture-transferring technology that moves and disperses sweat away from the body for quick evaporation, keeping you comfortable during physical activity. During physical activity, increased body temperate can cause perspiration. Normally this results in damp, clammy, and unseemly clothing. With Omni-Dry clothing, moisture is quickly wicked up into the fabric and away from the wearer's skin. The moisture spreads out across the surface of the fabric where it quickly evaporates. This wicking and evaporation process keeps the wearer cool and the clothing dry.

About Columbia Sportswear
Founded in 1938, Columbia Sportswear Company has grown from a small family-owned hat distributor to one of the world's largest outerwear brands and the leading seller of skiwear in the United States. Columbia's extensive product line includes a wide variety of outerwear, sportswear, rugged footwear and accessories. Columbia specializes in developing innovative products that are functional yet stylish and offer great value. Eighty-year-old matriarch Gert Boyle, chairman of the board, and her son, Tim Boyle, president and CEO, lead the company.
Columbia's history starts with Gert's parents, Paul and Marie Lamfrom, when they fled Germany in 1937. They bought a small hat distributorship in Portland, Oregon, and named it Columbia Hat Company, after the river bordering the city. Soon frustrated by poor deliveries from suppliers, the Lamfroms decided to start manufacturing products themselves. In 1948, Gert married college sweetheart Neal Boyle, who joined the family business and later took the helm of the growing company. When Neal suddenly died of a heart attack in 1970, Gert enlisted help from Tim, then a college senior. After that it wasn't long before business really started to take off. Columbia was one of the first companies to make jackets from waterproof/breathable fabric. The company introduced the breakthrough technology called the Columbia Interchange System, in which a shell and liner combine for multiple wearing options. In the early 1980s, then-60-year-old Gert began her role as "Mother Boyle" in Columbia's successful and popular advertising campaign.
The company went public in 1998 and moved into a new era as a world leader in the active outdoor apparel industry. Today, Columbia Sportswear employs more than 1,800 people around the world and distributes and sells products in more than 50 countries and to more than 12,000 retailers internationally.

Designed to keep your feet comfy and dry in a wide range of environments, the Hiker Lite utilizes Omni-Dry® technology to pull moisture away from your skin and keep the air flowing through—even inside hiking boots. We’ve employed miraculous Merino wool because it naturally resists odor and releases excess heat, all while keeping your toes toasty when the temps drop.
