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.

Great value,

This review is from: Columbia North Glacier Octagonal Screen House (Sports)
I have done a lot of research on tents and screen rooms over the last 2 weeks. This screen room from Columbia beats anything I've seen for price vs. quality either online or at the local Sams and Costco centers. The price plus free shipping makes it real bargin that I am still surprised at finding - in fact at the current 60% off price it is cheaper than almost all the lower quality versions! And Columbia makes very good stuff. After getting it within a few days of ordering, it took me a little more than 20 minutes to set it up the first time in my backyard. Will be quicker next time (probably 10 minutes). It is not a difficult one man job, although I'm a bit over 6 feet so that helps. To move it once setup though is really a two man job. Some of the pictures you might find of these on the Internet make it difficult to tell whether there is a floor with it or not - there is not (which is the way I wanted it so we could put it over the campground table if need be). I am very pleased with the size, design, look, quality, and price - recommended!

Columbia Screenhouse--better than others and cheaper...,
By Brett Schmidt "El Jefe" (North Carolina (and proud of it)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Columbia North Glacier Octagonal Screen House (Sports)
I found this product on a comparison shopping engine. I was shocked by the price, and even though I didn't really "need" the screenhouse, I decided to get it.
This is what I like: - The price. I still can't believe the deal. And free shipping. (I bet Amazon is losing money on this) - The design/quality of the screenhouse. It's just good quality--haven't had any problems with zippers. Additionally, when I set it up in the backyard, it actually looks nice. - Appearance. From an appearance perspective, it just "fits in" in my backyard. Nothing over-the-top, but also nothing that is flimsy or cheap quality. - Canopy or Screen House. Here's the great thing. Given sizable screen windows on the side of the screen house, it can double as a canopy. I have set it up semi-permanently in my backyard, and use it more to get out of the sun than for mosquitos. A strong recommendation.

Great Price, Great Quality,

This review is from: Columbia North Glacier Octagonal Screen House (Sports)
I spent awhile searching for the perfect screen tent for car camping. I was looking for something that would be easy to set up and provide shelter from bugs and rain. I stumbled on this one at a great price with free shipping. It had great reviews and looked like a quality product. Columbia has always had a great reputation. Well I have not used it camping yet, but I did set it up in my yard the other day. It was packed very well and the outside case was very well designed and seemed like it would hold up for a long time. It took me a few minutes to seperate out all the poles and figure out how it all went together (the instructions are attached to the case). All in all it took me about 20 minutes to set it up by myself the first time. The fabric shell was a little tight, but I am sure after a use or two it will streach out nicely. The only negative thing I can see, is that since it is octogon shaped it does not provide a great deal of protection from the rain, if the base is 14 feet across, the roof area is only about 8-10 feet across. Overall it seems to be a very well designed screen tent that should last for a long time.
