The great outdoors is unpredictable – from unexpected downpours and blustery winds to sudden storms and long-awaited sunny spells. Don’t let changeable weather get in your way with Columbia. Designed for every outdoor adventure, engineered to take on all conditions and tailored for comfort, performance and style, the sportswear brand has you, quite literally, covered. 

Founded in 1938, Columbia is a veteran when it comes to designing outdoor apparel for men, women and children, and with all climates, locations and activities in mind. Whether it’s skiing subzero snowy mountains, hiking across rocky terrain or simply strolling stormy urban streets, the brand specialises in technical gear that moves with you so you can explore nature with freedom and ease.

Whether it’s an insulated hardshell jacket or a durable pair of walking boots, every Columbia garment is thoughtfully designed, taking into account form and function. Each is then expertly crafted to withstand all weathers using high-quality, durable materials and finessed to suit all tastes and style preferences. Just take its Icons Collection, channelling ‘legacy in every layer’. Launched in the mid-Eighties, the collection provides versatile pieces that are practical and performance-led for all sorts of adventures, while being fun, bright and stylish. Who said activewear had to be boring? Not Columbia.
