Women's Ava Alpine II Insulated Jacket

Columbia's waterproof and breathable membrane, seam-sealed and built in multiple layers to keep rain and wind out while letting body heat and sweat vapour escape. It is aimed at light to moderate wet weather, so it keeps you dry and comfortable on everyday hikes and in changeable conditions without the bulk of a heavier shell.

Columbia's reflective thermal lining, patterned with small metallic dots that bounce your own body heat back to you for warmth without added bulk. Because it reflects heat rather than relying only on thick insulation, it adds warmth while staying breathable, which suits cold-weather jackets, base layers and winter footwear.

A synthetic insulation that traps body heat in fine, lofty fibres to give warmth for very little weight. It keeps insulating when damp and dries quickly, so it holds up in changeable weather, and it works well as the warm layer in a jacket without adding bulk.
