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 Fleece Sleeping Bag (Sports)
This bag has a full length zipper to enable it to open like a blanket. It also has a small velcro piece at the top to keep the bag from unzipping while you sleep. The blue and green polyester areas of the sleeping bag are a bit slick & slippery, but the tan microfleece liner is soft and comfortable to sleep on.
I haven't tested this in the field yet, but it appears to be a well made, compact & fairly lightweight summer sleeping bag. The specs on Amazon aren't very clear so here is some accurate measurements: Sleeping Bag = 1261 grams = 2 lbs 12.5 oz Incl Mesh Bag = 33 grams = 1.2 oz There are 2 bungies sewn into the outer foot area; When rolled up tightly and fastened with those bungies, it is 6" x 17". (If you compress it in a strong stuff sack, you can probably make it smaller.) The sleeping bag only fills about 80% of the included mesh bag, so I plan to roll up my silk sleeping sheet inside also. Hope you found this review to be helpful.

Decent for car camping but too heavy for backpacking without modification,

This review is from: Columbia Fleece Sleeping Bag (Sports)
When researching this bag I found differing weights listed, so I contacted the manufacturer Northpole who makes this bag for Columbia. They told me this bag has no weight listed, so it had to weigh LESS THAN ONE POUND. I'm thinking this is GREAT since I wanted an ultra light bag for Summer. After receiving the bag I'm guessing it weighs closer to 3 pounds.
That being said, it is well made for a low cost bag. The poly shell and 240 gram micro fleece should be easy to care for. I plan to cut off the bungees on the end, remove the tag, and take out the full length zipper (which is probably the heaviest part of the bag) bringing this down to sub-two pounds. Wish me luck. My only complaint is the 'Powermesh' carry bag. I don't consider it very powerful since it ripped the first time I stuffed the sleeping bag into it. I guess it is really a carry bag and not a stuff sack.

Nice, but not durable,
By lcseds "lcseds" (Durham, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Columbia Fleece Sleeping Bag (Sports)
This is a nice size bag. Packs pretty small. We've used it at cabins, hotels, etc. Problem is that they are not durable. We have bought two, and after maybe a dozen uses, the stitching on both bags has come undone. We have sewed them up, but I imagine they will start coming apart again soon, just in a different area. Shame really. I have enjoyed many Columbia products. These sleeping bags are a let down.
