Columbia Sportswear began in Portland, Oregon, in 1938, when Paul Lamfrom, who had fled Nazi Germany, bought a hat distributorship that became the Columbia Hat Company. It took the Columbia Sportswear name in 1960 and has been listed on the Nasdaq since 1998. The brand makes outerwear, sportswear, footwear, headgear and camping gear.
We’ve bought, used and rated 711 accessories products so far, 47 of them in Caps & Hats. Products in Caps & Hats average an FA score of 7.7 out of 10. Every score comes from our own testing, never from the brand.
We rate it 4.5/10 (poor) after buying and testing it ourselves. What we liked most: Features knitted dinosaur designs on the sides. Could be better: No double lining, very thin product.

No. Columbia is from the USA, founded in 1938.
We buy every product ourselves and score it out of 10 on design, material quality, comfort and value for money. The FA score is the average of those scores. No paid placements: brands can’t buy a better score.
