is the perfect solution for warm summer days when effective protection against sun rays is required. The visor profile protects the eyes well, and Omni-Shade™ technology protects the head from harmful UV radiation. Omni-Shade sun protection technology helps protect your skin from harmful UV radiation, so you can spend more carefree hours in the sun.
Omni-Shade Columbia Sportswear garments protect against harmful radiation by blocking the sun's dangerous rays. Omni-Shade blocks ultraviolet A and B rays (UVA and UVB), helping to prevent sunburn and long-term skin damage through dense weave construction, UV reflectors and UV absorbing technology.
This is not the case with SPF (Sun Protection Factor), a measure of the reduction in sunburn due to the use of a filter, which does not indicate any protection against UVB rays. UVB rays are much more harmful than UVA and reach us even on cloudy days. Omni-Shade technology provides protection against both UVB and UVA radiation.
Like a sunscreen, Omni-Shade technology has a specific number that indicates the level of sun protection. Unlike a sunscreen, Omni-Shade technology does not wear out. The level of safety increases with a higher Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF), and there are several levels of Omni-Shade protection: UPF 15, UPF 30, UPF 40, and UPF 50+. It's similar to sunscreen, but you don't have to reapply it.
Made of slightly elastic material, which, in combination with the Velcro adjustment at the back, allows for an optimal fit to the head. Additionally, thanks to the Omni- Shield technology used by Columbia, the cap soaks slower and is harder to get dirty, which is especially useful during long summer trips.
Fabric
: Omni-Shield™ Summiteer Lite 96% nylon / 4% elastane
Omni-Shield™ is a technology of water-repellent impregnation of the material in such a way as to reduce the possibility of water and other liquids penetrating the fabric and protect it from dirt for longer. It also ensures quick drying of the fabric, so that after getting wet, the garment is quickly ready for use again.
Omni-Wick® is a new technology that sends moisture away from the body to the outside. Products with Omni-Wick® perfectly absorb moisture and sweat and then quickly transport it away from the skin, where it quickly evaporates. This process causes the user to always have cool and dry clothing.
