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 skiwear 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.

Awesome bag! UPDATE 3/18/2010,
By Morley Dotes "morleydotes" (Flushing, New York USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Columbia Adventure Quest II Light Duty Mummy Sleeping Bag (Sports)
UPDATE 3/18/2010:
I used this to get through our recent power outage. The house was 40 degrees and I stayed warm (as long as I kept my head tucked in) and relatively comfortable. I also want to note that the memory foam area at the top has stayed pretty well. I would GLADLY get another one, but the construction of this bag is so strong that I think this is going to last a LONG time. I bought one of these for myself, and a different one for my son for a camping trip we took. This thing is warm. At night it was about 50 degrees and I had to open it up a bit. This is not a bad thing, and I wasn't about to buy 2 different bags. Opening the bag makes it quite comfortable and I highly recommend it. It rained all night when we were out, and while we were in a tent, and we had pads, I was pretty comfortable and slept very well. A little background...I hadn't gone camping in over 25 years....ehem. My son was dying to go, and I used to love it. I was thinking it was a big mistake. It wasn't. We had a great time, and the bag is great. The only negatives I can give is that it is a little tough to wrap it back up, and mostly, it's heavy. I know 3.5 lbs. doesn't seem like a lot, but it all adds up. I thought it was 1 lb., but I misread, and it is 1 lb. of thermalC fill. If you don't think that you will need a thirty degree bag, save the weight and buy a lighter bag. I know there are lighter 30 degree bags, but I haven't tried them, and I don't know how warm they will keep you. This one should easily keep you warm. At the gold box price, this is a great deal. Construction is very good, and it doesn't feel like it will rip/tear easily. It's nice and long, I'm 5'11" and I have plenty of legroom.

Nice and warm, Not real long,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Columbia Adventure Quest II Light Duty Mummy Sleeping Bag (Sports)
I am just barely 6' and have very broad shoulders. I can fit in this bag. I figured I would have more trouble laterally fitting in a mummy bag, but actually it was my height that was the tightest fit in this bag. I still like it, but if you are over 6', look elsewhere.

Love the sleeping bag but broke first time I compressed it.,
This review is from: Columbia Adventure Quest II Light Duty Mummy Sleeping Bag (Sports)
This sleeping bag was everything I wanted for my 65 mile hike. Light, small and warm. I got it from UPS and was so excited that I had finally had the chance to check it out and it fit very well. I am 5'5 and was even a little long for me. I put it back into the sack and the compression straps broke when I was trying to compress the bag down. This was the first time that I had compressed the bag. I was very upset due to fact that I am leaving on my hike within two weeks but Amazon fixed the problem immediately and my replacement should be here in a week, right before I leave. I know products can be defective and I am not knocking the bag, I just wish this hadn't happened and I will be keeping a close eye on my new bag.
