About the brand ❤️
Columbia is a U.S.-based outdoor apparel and gear brand with roots back to 1938, when founders Paul and Marie Lamfrom purchased a small hat shop in Portland, Oregon, and named it after the nearby Columbia River. Over time, the company evolved into Columbia Sportswear Company and expanded its offerings beyond hats to robust outerwear, footwear, and outdoor-equipment, catering to hiking, camping, skiing and general outdoor lifestyle. Headquartered near Beaverton, Oregon (in the Portland area), Columbia has grown into a global leader in outdoor gear, operating worldwide and selling in dozens of countries. Its portfolio includes not only outdoor jackets and pants, but footwear, rainwear, ski apparel, accessories and equipment — often incorporating advanced technologies (waterproofing, thermal insulation, performance fabrics). The brand remains active and influential, known for combining practicality, durability and comfort across a broad range of outdoor and casual products.
