The Titanium Hike collection embodies Columbia’s high-end segment: modular layers for every climate, developed with the most advanced proprietary technologies.
At Columbia, it’s all about hiking. This season, the performance and design teams focused their research on developing a highly functional layering system that allows you to adapt to changing conditions with safety, comfort, and technical precision. Building on Columbia’s Titanium Innovation Platform, this season’s focus is on a modular layering system, consisting of breathable baselayers, insulating midlayers, and weatherproof shells. It’s designed for performance at any altitude, on any terrain, and in all weather conditions.
BASELAYER: Stay Dry and Comfortable
The new DriVenture™ Half Zip (€80) is a technical baselayer featuring Omni-Wick™ EVAPT™ technology, which wicks moisture away from the skin and accelerates evaporation. Ergonomic seams support freedom of movement, and thumb loops facilitate layering. Lightweight and breathable, it forms the essential foundation for demanding hikes.
MIDLAYER: Retain warmth and move freely
Option 1: Arctic Crest™ Hybrid Full Zip
With the introduction of Omni-Heat™ Arctic technology—inspired by polar bears—Columbia unveiled the Arctic Crest Down Jacket in Fall 2024. Now, Columbia expands the series with the Arctic Crest™ Hybrid Full Zip (€160). It combines solar-retaining warmth with flexible stretch zones. Stackable, compressible, with thumb loops and zippered pockets—ideal as a layer or worn alone in dry, cold conditions.
Option 2: Silver Leaf™ Lite Hybrid
Versatile protection: The Silver Leaf™ Lite Hybrid Jacket (€190) is a versatile mid-layer for active days outdoors. The hybrid construction combines lightweight insulation with stretch panels for optimal freedom of movement and breathability. Thanks to Omni-Shield™, the jacket also functions as a lightweight outer layer in light drizzle.
OUTER LAYER: Protection from Wind and Weather
In the rainwear category, two key models featuring the most advanced waterproof and breathable technologies take center stage: OutDry™ Extreme and Omni-Tech™. Proven solutions that already demonstrated their performance in Spring 2025.
Option 1: Whistler Peak™ Shell
Designed for alpine protection, the men’s Whistler Peak™ Shell (€300) utilizes the award-winning OutDry™ EXTREME technology with fully taped seams that reliably keep out rain, wind, and snow. Abrasion-resistant reinforcements and underarm vents enhance durability and breathability, while the hood and extended hem provide comprehensive protection.
Option 2: Northwest Explorer™ 3L Shell
The Northwest Explorer™ 3L Shell (€250) for men and women is a lightweight, compact jacket for fast-paced adventures and changeable weather. It features a waterproof and breathable Omni-Tech™ construction, a sewn-in hood flap, underarm vents, and packs down small into its own pocket.
With the Titanium Hike Layering System, Columbia is building a new generation of outdoor experience: faster, lighter, and more versatile. Adaptive protection, proven innovations, and superior comfort define its key styles—designed to effortlessly adapt to every movement, terrain, and weather condition
