Columbia Bugaboo IV Fleece Interchange Jacket, a men's 3-in-1 jacket featuring OMNI-TECH™ waterproof-breathable technology, OMNI-HEAT™ thermal-reflective technology and a removable 250 g fleece liner. Ideal for winter activities and snow

When winter activities, mountain excursions and travel in challenging weather conditions call for reliable protection from rain, cold and wind, the Columbia Bugaboo™ IV Fleece Interchange Jacket offers a complete solution. Designed for outdoor, hiking, skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts, it combines a waterproof and breathable outer shell with an OMNI-HEAT™ Reflective thermal-reflective lining and a removable 250 g inner fleece.

OMNI-TECH™ technology provides waterproof and breathable protection, with critically sealed seams, while OMNI-HEAT™ Reflective technology uses thermal-reflective elements in the inner lining of the outer shell to help retain body heat. In addition, the Zip-in and 3-Point Interchange System allows the two layers to be connected or separated, offering three different ways to wear the jacket.

The removable and adjustable hood, adjustable cuffs, drawcord hem and practical pockets complete a functional jacket for winter adventures and everyday use in low temperatures.

OMNI-TECH™ – Waterproof & Breathable Protection

OMNI-TECH™ technology combines waterproof protection with breathability, helping you stay dry in rainy and damp conditions. Its critically seam-sealed construction reduces potential water entry points, providing reliable protection during outdoor activities.

OMNI-HEAT™ Reflective – Thermal-Reflective Technology

OMNI-HEAT™ Reflective technology uses special thermal-reflective elements in the inner lining, which reflect some of the body's heat back towards the inside of the garment. This helps retain warmth without the need for additional bulky insulation.

MTR Microfilament Fleece – Inner Thermal Layer

The MTR Microfilament Fleece 250 g inner liner offers a soft feel and helps retain warmth. It can be worn on its own or combined with the outer shell, depending on conditions.

Use & Care Instructions

• Follow the washing instructions on the product's internal care label.
• Before washing, separate the inner fleece liner from the outer shell.
• Close all zips and adjustment points before washing.
• Use a detergent suitable for technical fabrics and avoid fabric softener, unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer's instructions.
