Columbia Men's Steens Mountain Sweater

Cheap Columbia Men's Steens Mountain Sweater Review

I got it as a Christmas gift. I am a little disappointed when I saw the tag, because I fear it is too small, but it is quite size. This is the coldest winter we were in Nebraska for several years. But I've worn this jacket every day since Christmas. Then, when it is completely worthless, I am restless, but the jacket has been refined with every other day.

The heavy jacket replaced it had hood, and I missed that. I usually only need a jacket between being indoors and thecar, and until the car warms up. I did not expect it to replace the heavy jacket if I was out of.

OTOH, no one should expect this kind of jacket to keep them warm in subfreezing temps unless they are working or wearing layers added. I think Columbia has its Jackets size so you can add additional layers, but you can consider that before you order. If you need more than an additional layer, order size up.

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.
