About Columbia Sportswear
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.

At 1/5 of the price of my Kombi everyday gloves, I bought these to shovel snow and do light, outdoor winter work. Nope... NaGaDa! These gloves are now my everyday gloves - so warm and so easy on/off. With my old everyday Kombi gloves, the liner would always come out when I took them off. They are warm, good quality, etc., but that liner thing always irks me. Not a problem with these babies. They are truly great gloves and a great value. I'm now using my very old Kombi ski gloves for the dirty jobs and reserving my old Kombi everyday gloves in my briefcase for emergencies.

I have a 20 minute walk to work in very cold weather during the winter and had been looking for a pair of gloves to keep my hands warm. I went through many pairs of gloves that were large and bulky and seemed like they should be warm but weren't warm at all. My hands felt like I wasn't wearing any gloves at all. Then I found these Columbia gloves and I have been very impressed. They are quite simply the warmest gloves I have ever owned. Even with temperatures below 0 degrees F, my hands never feel the cold in these gloves. The gloves are comfortable and the fact that they have fingers allows you to still perform some basic tasks with your hands, such as working the radio on the car or pushing the garage door opener button. Buyers should be aware that these are definitely cold weather gloves. When temperatures are above freezing, the gloves are so warm that my hands start to sweat and feel hot so they are not for mild Winter days or cold Spring days. They are definitely for...Read more
