Columbia Sportswear is known as a product innovator and has an unparalleled reputation
for quality and value. These basic principles guide Columbia through the
creation of inventive and highly popular designs, including their famous
Interchange System® developed in 1982, which has since propelled Columbia Clothing to
the forefront of the outerwear industry. In 1991 Columbia Sportswear developed their
own proprietary waterproof, breathable coating Omni-Tech® and is now
the second-largest user of waterproof, breathable fabric in the world.
Columbia's extensive product line includes a wide variety of outerwear,
sportswear, rugged footwear and accessories for winter sports (skiing,
snowboarding, etc.), camping,
fishing, hunting and casual wear. Columbia's Titanium line offers the
most innovative and popular jackets for men, women and kids, such as the
Columbia Ariel Alps Women's Jacket and the
Columbia Titanium Men's Straightline Parka. Columbia
fleece, jackets and clothing continue to offer unmatched style and value.
