Beat the Heat with Columbia Cooling Clothing (Review)
When you live in the hottest state in the U.S., you need to do everything you can to stay cool in summer. Living in Phoenix, Arizona, we experience about 110 days each year when temps reach over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Thankfully, Columbia makes clothing that uses special cooling technologies. My family tested out Columbia cooling clothing on a particularly hot day at the Phoenix Zoo. Think it worked? Read on to find out!

How Columbia’s Omni-Freeze ZERO Cooling Technology Works
Columbia’s Omni-Freeze ZERO apparel uses special technology to help your family stay cool in summer weather. It is sewn with thousands of tiny blue rings that absorb moisture and concentrate a cooling agent close to your skin.
Sweat or water activates the cooling process, drawing heat away from your body and lowering the temperature of the garment. Watch the video below to gain a better understanding of this technology.
Columbia Cooling Dress
Think Columbia is strictly workout gear? Think again! My Columbia Cooling Dress is not only comfy but also super cute for a day out exploring.
It utilizes Omni-Freeze Cooling and Wicking Fabric to help moms like me feel great while playing with their kids (or goats!). What’s more, this dress offers 50 UPF sun protection, which is so important for good health whenever spending time in the sunshine.
The verdict: this dress really did help me stay cool in summer, even in the Arizona heat!
Cool Clothing for Boys
My 10-year-old son’s Columbia shirt kept him cool during our toasty day at the Phoenix Zoo. This shirt is made of 100 percent cotton and features a hidden back vent to keep air flowing through it.
Fashionable Clothing for Girls
With school starting soon, my 13-year-old daughter is eager to stock up on fashionable clothes to wear. Her Columbia clothing pick was a hip Columbia dress. The loose fit and 100 percent cotton fabric make this dress a cool and stylish option. I just wish I could buy one in my size!
Chill Clothing for Active Men
All the men in my life all love technology. What better gift for a tech-loving dude than clothing you want to see him wear, but that also comes equipped with cooling technology?
I loved the Columbia’s Alpine Chill Zero Shirt so much on my husband that I bought a second cooling shirt for my dad as a belated Father’s Day gift. This polo works well for a day of golf, hiking or site-seeing. Choose Columbia cooling clothing for men in a collared polo style, workout t-shirts, hats, and more.
