Hike Cool: Columbia’s Thermal Management Innovation

Made with Omni-Freeze™ Zero Ice technology, the brand’s most advanced cooling technology, the line offers an active cooling effect both next to the skin and during sweating. The range includes short-sleeve t-shirts, long-sleeve styles, and technical polo shirts, designed to adapt to different needs and activity levels.

A new standard in heat management

For over a decade, Columbia has been developing innovative solutions for body temperature control. Early technologies focused on heat dispersion through more conductive fabrics, while later developments introduced sweat-activated systems capable of amplifying evaporation thanks to advanced polymers.

Omni-Freeze™ Zero Ice takes this technology to the next level: a technology that combines instant “dry” cooling with “wet” cooling during activity. Thanks to increased print coverage and high-heat-absorbing materials, the garments ensure a constant feeling of freshness even during intense exercise and in extreme weather conditions.

Diamond Peak Pro: A complete technical system

The Diamond Peak Pro line is designed as an integrated system where each piece contributes to a consistent, high-performance experience. The materials used (92% nylon and 8% elastane) ensure stretch, durability, and next-to-skin comfort.

The integration of Omni-Wick™ technology promotes breathability and accelerates sweat evaporation, keeping the body dry even during prolonged activity. Different styles meet specific needs: long sleeves offer greater protection, polo shirts have a more versatile structure, while t-shirts focus on lightness and maximum breathability.
