A diamond in the rough.
Traditionally, waterproof shells use interior waterproof membranes, which don't allow for air flow, and a water-repellent coating that degrades over time. While this method is intially effective, it lessens over time with heavy use, so Columbia made a change and designed the Outdry EX Diamond Women's Shell with a waterproof membrane on the outside of the jacket. This makes dirt and wear a non-issue, and allows the moisture-wicking lining to maintain excellent breathability throughout the life of the jacket.
