bought a pair of Columbia soft shell pants last year from STP, figured if they sucked I got a great deal.
REALLY impressed with the quality and design
pockets are in the right spots, it breathes like a dream, there are no stupid useless bells and whistles and they held up through some pretty extremo ski thicketeering
I like, and would really like to see if this is a trend. I've been SOL since EMS has moved away from making their house brand clothing actually useful for skiing in the backcountry, and has instead decided that its more important to have camo and faux fur on everything they put outLast edited by laseranimal; 09-07-2007 at 08:41 PM.
For sure, you have to be lost to find a place that can't be found, elseways everyone would know where it was

I walked in front of their offices wearing patagucci and deadbird for several years.
It's all because of me.Elvis has left the building

our shop sells columbia, my main ski jacket is the
Selkirk.
Their high end shells in particular are damn close
to being right on par with the best of the best.

They bought out Sorel a few years back as well. That explains their winter boot offerings.
Move along nothing to see here.
