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.

Columbia Falltrainer Glove Reviews
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: Nice Soft Warm Gloves, By This review is from: Columbia Falltrainer Glove (Apparel) I love not only the feel, but the look of these gloves. I live up north and it gets terribly cold here and a cheap pair of yarn gloves will not do. They came a bit darker than the picture, mine are a true purple and not a lavender color as shown on screen. They are also insulated on the inside as well, (Thinsulate is what it's called) which is a nice touch! If you want a nice sturdy glove then look no further. The price is right and the product is good. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: Well-Made Gloves, By Tree Gal (Raleigh, NC USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Columbia Falltrainer Glove (Apparel) My 11-year-old has now owned these gloves for a full year. They have held up wonderfully through cold weather, rain, snow activities, school, etc. They have also held up very well in the wash, and have not lost their color at all (we purchased the light aqua color). The plastic clips on them have also held up fine and are wonderful since my child clips the gloves to her coat and backpack and never manages to lose them. That's a first! I'd buy these again any day. Very well-designed product. |
