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.

This review is from: Columbia Men's Bonehead Short Sleeve Shirt (Apparel)
I have been buying these shirts for years. They are great for fishing or any outdoor wear. The back is vented and there are plenty of pockets for keeping things like cell phones or keys secure, especially in a boating environment. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.

good morning, the next article, I translate from Spanish to English because I speak only Spanish.
I am very happy with my shirt columbia, only one size is a little big for me, is to be envisaged that the m in the united states is a bit larger than the size m here in Venezuela, but still I think I did an excellent buy

Camisa Columbia Excelente para clima en Venezuela,

This review is from: Columbia Men's Bonehead Short Sleeve Shirt (Apparel)
Recomiendo ampliamente este modelo de camisa por su frescura y comodidad para el clima en Venezuela, el color es muy llamativo y tiene esa caracteristica entre lo deportivo-excursionista y asu vez elegancia. Lo malo es que la tela se arruga mucho, también hay que tener cuidado con las tallas la L es muy grande y la M viene siendo la L.
