Founded in 1938, Columbia Sportswear Company has grown from a small family-owned hat distributor to one of the world's largest outerwear brands and the leading seller of ski-wear in the United States. Columbia's extensive product line includes a wide variety of outerwear, sportswear, rugged footwear and accessories. Columbia specializes in developing innovative products that are functional yet stylish and offer great value. Eighty-year-old matriarch Gert Boyle, Chairman of the Board, and her son, Tim Boyle, President and CEO, lead the company. Columbia's history starts with Gert's parents, Paul and Marie Lamfrom, when they fled Germany in 1937. They bought a small hat distributorship in Portland, Oregon, and named it Columbia Hat Company, after the river bordering the city. Soon frustrated by poor deliveries from suppliers, the Lamfroms decided to start manufacturing products themselves. In 1948, Gert married college sweetheart Neal Boyle, who joined the family business and later took the helm of the growing company. When Neal suddenly died of a heart attack in 1970, Gert enlisted help from Tim, then a college senior. After that, it wasn't long before business really started to take off. Columbia was one of the first companies to make jackets from waterproof/breathable fabric. They introduced the breakthrough technology called the Columbia Interchange System, in which a shell and liner combine for multiple wearing options. In the early 1980s, then 60-year-old Gert began her role as "Mother Boyle" in Columbia's successful and popular advertising campaign. The company went public in 1998 and moved into a new era as a world leader in the active outdoor apparel industry. Today, Columbia Sportswear employs more than 1,800 people around the world and distributes and sells products in more than 50 countries and to more than 12,000 retailers internationally.

A well made light jacket December 20, 2005
Peter H. Kosel (Sacramento, CA USA)

I just got this and it seems to be a very well made light jacket, suitable for casual wear on cool days and evenings, particularly when I'm riding my bike or working outdoors and want something that will keep the chill off but not leave me sweltering and not restrict my movements. Cozy, yet flexible and breathable, this jacket fits my needs to a T.
This jacket has 2 zip-up pockets with lots of capacity.
There is no hood, but I find a hood useful only when scooting out to my car when it's raining.
There's an elastic drawstring around the bottom I don't think I'll need - it tightens via plastic spring-loaded doodads on each side.
The cuffs have elastic in them also, but not too much to be comfortable. I hate elastic cuffs that make me feel like my sleeves are bound to my wrists, but these are snug without being restrictive, just right!
Everything considered, I think this is a fine replaceent for my old fleece jacket, better made, good looking, and every bit as servicable. It wouldn't do for someone trying to survive in the Arctic, I don't suppose, but it's just what I was looking for and I'm happy as a clam.
This is a really nice sweater March 21, 2006

This is a great deal for $25. It is a little warm to wear in the house, but will help you survive outdoor temps as low as 40 degrees. The quality is really excellent, and I highly recommend this sweater from Columbia.
Comfortable and good looking January 12, 2007

Very comfortable, well built and good looking. Good value for money. It is warm, but it does let wind through though, so you need a shell over it if it is cold and windy outside.
Well made jacket February 13, 2007

I have own Columbia clothing before but never a jacket. I bought this one because of the great price ($22.50) and I wanted something a little warmer than a windbreaker. Once it arrived I have worn this jacket about everyday. I live in the Bay Area where it is a little warmer than the East Coast and this jacket is just enough to keep you warm on a cool morning. This jacket is well made of very soft materials. I have worn it with jeans and casual dress. Highly recommended.
Great Sweater. August 27, 2007

This is a really comfortable and nice sweater. The size its huge, I will normally buy M size, but in this case the S size its almost the same as M.
