Columbia’s OutDry Extreme is one of our favorite waterproof-breathable materials. It’s a unique fabric that doesn’t wet out and beads on the surface. And now it’s on sale.
OutDry does a stellar job of avoiding the dreaded wet-out. Water beads off the surface forever. We’ve used it from Alaska to Mexico and everywhere in between with great results. So when it goes on sale in jackets, we’re always ready to pounce.
Right now, the OutDry Ex ECO Rain Shell is more than half off. The outer is waterproof, and the inside is made of 100 percent recycled fabric that’s breathable despite the armor on top. Even in the long-cut jacket’s limited “undyed white” color option, it may not last long.
