Outside's Wes Siler Reports On Columbia Who Invented OutDry Extreme Eco Which Is An Eco Friendly Rain Shell Jacket
Columbia has recently reinvented the rain shell jacket. Instead of using chemical heavy PFC's and dyes, they instead used recyclable material and use a thicker, stronger, abrasion-resistant membrane that provides breathability.
As Wes Siler reports in the article: "That fancy perforated polyester outer layer is made from 100 percent recycled plastic bottles, and most other components of the jacket—labels, toggles, zipper pulls, threads, and eyelets—are also 100 percent recycled. All that takes place without the use of any PFCs, and additionally, by doing away with dyes, Columbia is also able to save 13 gallons of water in the construction of each jacket."
