Fleeces and Waterproofs from Columbia Sportswear

The History of Columbia Sportswear

Founded in 1938 in Portland, Oregon, Columbia Sportswear began as a small family-run hat company. What started as a local business grew into one of the world's best-known outdoor brands, recognised for creating reliable clothing and equipment for life outdoors.

Inspired by the rugged landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, Columbia has spent decades developing technical apparel designed to perform in unpredictable weather. The brand is particularly known for innovations such as Omni-Heat™ reflective insulation and Omni-Tech™ waterproof protection, helping outdoor enthusiasts stay warm, dry and comfortable.

Today, Columbia offers a wide range of outdoor clothing, footwear and accessories. From waterproof jackets and insulated coats to hiking boots, trail shoes and everyday outdoor essentials, its products are built for everything from mountain adventures to daily wear.
