i have one of their longsleeve quick drying button – up hiking/travel shirts with a lot of pockets, vents, etc. & have been happy with it

their sizes seem to run a bit on the roomy/bulky side, fyi

I tested their Dub Mountain Parka that combined a 550 down fill inner with their own flavor of 2.5 layer W/B fabric. While the parka as a whole did not impress me the shell was better than very spendy items from SD, Red Ledge, and others that I also tested. I sold the inner and still have the shell as a late fall through early spring rain coat.

Good luck,

You know Columbia owns Mountain Hardwear and Montrail right? There's a few things I could think of getting at deep discount.

I do like some of their clothing, their pants in particular because I find the leg length to be longer then many other brands.

I find their GRT Packable pants to be nice, relatively light and packs small. Made out of quick drying nylons. In saying that, I suspect other brands would have comparable pants in their range.

Titanium button down short sleeve nylon shirt…button front makes for easy heat adjustment, collar adds to sun protection on back of neck, left shirt pocket with velcro flap off to side makes easy access for sun glasses, etc,6.55oz = XL
