Product Description:
Columbia Sportswear Company was founded in 1938. Columbia Sportswear Company began as a small family-owned distributorship and today Columbia is one of the world's largest outerwear companies. The history begins with Paul and Marie Lamfrom. They fled from Germany and settled in Portland, Oregon. Paul and Marie opened up a hat distributorship and named their company the Columbia Hat Company. They took the name from the nearby Columbia River. Today, their 82 year old daughter, Gert, is the Chairman of the Board and her son, Tim Boyle is President and Chief Executive Officer. Columbia Sportswear Company has a wide-range of stylish, and functional products to choose from. Columbia is famous for their Interchange System. This concept was developed in 1982 and made Columbia a leader in the outerwear industry. Columbia first started with an interchange jacket which was made for hunting and featured a weatherproof outershell with an insulating inner jacket that could be worn together or separately, thus making each parka three or four garments in one. Because of the popularity of this garment, Columbia applied the same concept to a ski parka and called it the Bugaboo™. The Bugaboo became one of the best-selling ski jackets in history. In 1991, Columbia developed a waterproof, breathable coating Omni-Tech which makes it now the second-largest user of waterproof, breathable fabric in the world.

Rating:  - Nice For The Price
Columbia has earned a good name in moderately priced sportswear and I relied on that with this purchase. I volunteer with the US Forestry Service and other Service Organizations. This involves frequent outdoor activity including operation of 4-wheelers and UTVs. My rainsuit is well made, durable, properly sized, and addresses my need. If I could afford more expensive rainwear, I probably would have gone with something more breathable, but I am pleased with the quality I received for the price ... Read More
Rating:  - great service
fast shipping and a great rain suit without the price. I work in a wilderness camp im outside in the worst of weather conditions a rain suit of this caliber is a must
Rating: - Great price for a great product
If you're either looking for a light spring/summer, but durable and truly waterproof garment, or the perfect outer layer for those cold fall and early winter rains, this is it. I love it's compactness, goes into even an already full daypack, and it really keeps me dry. Tough enough to do some light bushwhacking on hiking trails, and comfortable enough to wear about town. Wish it came with a stuff bag.
Rating: - Columbia Rain Gear
The rain suit was purchased for my son who works outdoors. Finding rain gear that will hold up for those who work outdoors was not easy. The rain suit is well made and was reasonably priced.
