Founded in 1938 in Portland, Oregon, as a small, family-owned, regional hat distributor and incorporated in 1961, Columbia Sportswear Company (“Columbia”) has grown to become a multi-branded global leader in the

4-jackets-in-1 design. Jackets incorporating the Interchange System typically combine a durable, nylon outershell
with a removable liner. The outershell and the liner may be worn separately or together. This layering approach
provides the wearer with a jacket for all seasons and weather conditions at a reasonable price.
