Columbia Sportswear
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Another option if you really want just one warm coat might be Columbia. It's been 6 or 7 years since I bought one but they had some really good options.
- Columbia or Outdoor Research. They have not on jumped on the cosplay outdoor adventurer yet. Still reasonably priced products.
- For that cold I would opt for something more specialized such as North face, Patagonia, Marmot, Arc'teryx, Columbia, Fjallraven, etc.
- I second Columbia for Canadian winter I got mine at an outlet store, it's not heavy but it's really warm - waterproof shell plus windbreaker. It takes me to -30 pretty well!
- For polos and such shirts from Columbia, Greg Norman etc definitely will last multiple years no problem.
Cons
- Parent context: love OR, Columbia's production quality/fit reflects price. Reply: love OR, Columbia's production quality/fit reflects price.
- Columbia is low grade.
- I've looked at a bunch of brands (Columbia, LL Bean, Landsend, REI, Patagonia) and I'm just so confused because it seems like no clothes should ever fit him
- Columbia brand sportwear. A lot of good outdoor brands really were BIFL once upon a time, clothing was treated same as gear.
