Columbia’s Mountain Tech Half Zip is made to be functional and quick drying for the ultimate in comfort and performance. The Mountain Tech Half Zip is a high-performance pullover that offers great moisture management and breathability. The Mountain Tech Half Zip uses Omni-Dry technology, which quickly wicks up moisture into the fabric and away from the skin. This process helps keep the wearer warmer (or cooler) depending on the season. Omni-Shade is another feature that allows the wearer to stay outside longer while being protected from the sun. This product was tested on long runs as a top layer in 30 to 40 degree weather. It kept the tester warm while allowing air movement, making it comfortable throughout the run. Its antimicrobial treatment resists odor keeping keeping that clean feeling after multiple wears. The Mountain Tech Half Zip is made of a jersey knit fabric and has a comfortable fit. The looser fit allows it to be perfect to throw on over tanks or t-shirts or under a vest. This is a good addition to a runner’s cool weather wardrobe.
