Columbia

The outdoors isn't all about remote expeditions or climbing the world's highest mountains.

Anyone can enjoy the outdoors. It's easy. Just open the door and go outside.

Columbia clothing is designed to be functional yet attractive, and Columbia sportswear looks at home from mountain to pub. Columbia jackets like the Fused Form Parka and shirts like the women's Psych long and short sleeve not only have a super-tough reputation, they feature hi-tech technology like Columbia Titanium or Omni-Shield, and all at affordable prices.

Columbia is a company focused on life in the fresh air, whether it’s hiking through a pine-clad forest or playing in the front garden, mastering a mountain peak or messing about in the local park.

Based in the American North West, where volcanoes rumble below the surface and the Pacific Ocean laps at the rugged coastline, Columbia clothing is a billion-dollar enterprise with its past – and future – firmly entrenched in the great outdoors.

From a 1930s family-owned hat distributor named after the nearby river, Columbia have grown into today’s internationally-known business which encompasses over 70 countries and thousands of outlets across the world.

Masterminds behind revolutionary technology including Omni-Heat Electric Thermal Comfort, and in-built Omni-Shade sun protection and Insect Blocker anti-bug treatment for tropical climates, Columbia are behind some of the most innovative fabrics and outdoor clothing on the market.

But it’s not all about great adventures or intrepid expeditions into unknown territories. For Columbia, it’s more about simply opening the door…and discovering the world outside.
