Based in Portland, Oregon, Columbia Sportswear is a global outdoor brand that crafts active lifestyle gear fortified with industry-leading technologies and tested in our own backyard. Our apparel, footwear, and accessories reflect our Pacific Northwest heritage and indomitable spirit.
Our founder Gert Boyle's “Tough Mother” persona lives on in the Columbia brand. Her legendary perfectionism (“It's perfect. Now make it better.”) and the high standards to which she held herself and others still guide us today. At Columbia, we're as passionate about the outdoors as you are. And while our gear is available around the world, we're proud to be based in the Pacific Northwest where the lush forests, snow-covered mountains, rugged coastline, and wide-open spaces serve as our playground. This is where we hike, fish, hunt, camp, climb, shred, paddle, golf, run, and just enjoy the fresh air with friends.
An outdoor brand that works just as well in the woods as on the street in a city.
