Light quilted warmth that packs away
Chilly start, bright by lunch, spitting again by three — British weather in a nutshell. This is the layer for it. Recycled insulation takes the edge off a cold start without weighing you down, while an Omni-Shield finish shrugs off the drizzle. Adjustable cuffs and a chin guard tidy the fit, so it works just as well over a jumper in town as it does on a brisk walk. And when the day warms up, it packs into its own hand pocket and vanishes into your bag.

- Measuring environmental impact in the supply chain - Columbia has been using the Higg Index Facility Environmental Module to assess supplier performance across energy, waste, water and chemical impacts since 2013, with consistently positive improvements year on year.
- Conservation through partnership - Columbia partners with leading non-profit organisations including Conservation International and Ocean Conservancy to help preserve outdoor environments and ensure natural spaces remain accessible for future generations.
They say, “Tough times never last, only tough people do,” and Columbia is living proof of it. This story starts in 1938 with a small Portland hat shop, but it was Gert Boyle, the woman who became known as Tough Mother, who gave the brand its backbone. She took on a struggling family business in 1970 and refused, against every expectation, to let it go under. What carried her through wasn’t ambition so much as stubbornness: a flat refusal to accept gear that didn’t quite do its job. That same stubborn problem-solving still runs through everything Columbia makes. How do you stay out when it’s pouring? When it’s freezing? When the sun’s relentless? Their answer has always been visible, genuinely useful innovation — the Interchange 3-in-1 jacket system, Omni-Heat reflective lining, OutDry Extreme waterproofing — the sort of tech that keeps you outdoors longer and more comfortably.
