Columbia Sportswear Affiliate Program
Based in Portland, Oregon, Columbia Sportswear is a global outdoor brand
that crafts active lifestyle gear fortified with industry-leading
technologies and tested in our own backyard. Our apparel, footwear, and
accessories reflect our Pacific Northwest heritage and indomitable
spirit.
It
all began in 1937 when Gert’s parents fled Nazi Germany and settled in
Portland where they purchased a small hat manufacturer, naming it the
Columbia Hat Company. Signifying a fresh start for the family, the
business eventually passed from Gert’s father to her husband Neal and
then to Gert herself in 1970 when she went from housewife to executive
overnight after Neal’s sudden passing.<br><br>Our founder
Gert Boyle’s “Tough Mother” persona lives on in the Columbia brand. Her
legendary perfectionism (“It’s perfect. Now make it better.”) and the
high standards to which she held herself and others still guide us
today.
At Columbia,
we’re as passionate about the outdoors as you are. And while our gear is
available around the world, we’re proud to be based in the Pacific
Northwest where the lush forests, snow-covered mountains, rugged
coastline, and wide-open spaces serve as our playground. This is where
we hike, fish, hunt, camp, climb, shred, paddle, golf, run, and just
enjoy the fresh air with friends.
