Columbia’s extensive product line includes a wide variety of outerwear, sportswear, rugged footwear and accessories. Columbia specializes in developing innovative products that are functional yet stylish and offer great value. Eighty-year-old matriarch Gert Boyle, chairman of the board, and her son, Tim Boyle, president and CEO, lead the company. p Columbia’s history starts with Gert’s parents, Paul and Marie Lamfrom, when they fled Germany in 1937. They bought a small hat distributorship in Portland, Oregon, and named it Columbia Hat Company, after the river bordering the city. Soon frustrated by poor deliveries from suppliers, the Lamfroms decided to start manufacturing products themselves. In 1948, Gert married college sweetheart Neal Boyle, who joined the family business and later took the helm of the growing company. When Neal suddenly died of a heart attack in 1970, Gert enlisted help from Tim, then a college senior. After that it wasn’t long before business really started to take off. Columbia was one of the first companies to make jackets from waterproof/breathable fabric. The company introduced the breakthrough technology called the Columbia Interchange System, in which a shell and liner combine for multiple wearing options. In the early 1980s, then-60-year-old Gert began her role as “Mother Boyle” in Columbia’s successful and popular advertising campaign. p The company went public in 1998 and moved into a new era as a world leader in the active outdoor apparel industry. Today, Columbia Sportswear employs more than 1,800 people around the world and distributes and sells products in more than 50 countries and to more than 12,000 retailers internationally. ppstrongfont color=CC6600BIGAmazon.com Tent Guide/BIG/font/strongpstrongfont color=CC6600Selecting a Tent/font/strongbr Fortunately, there are all kinds of tents for weekend car campers, Everest expeditions, and everything in-between. Here are a few things to keep in mind: pstrongfont color=CC6600Expect the Worst/font/strongbr In general, it’s wise to choose a tent that’s designed to withstand the worst possible conditions you think you’ll face. For instance, if you’re a summer car camper in a region where weather is predictable, an inexpensive family or all purpose tent will likely do the trick–especially if a vehicle is nearby and you can make a mad dash for safety when bad weather swoops in! If you’re a backpacker, alpine climber or bike explorer, or if you like to car camp in all seasons, you’ll want to take something designed to handle more adversity. pstrongfont color=CC6600Three- and Four-Season Tents/font/strongbr For summer, early fall and late spring outings, choose a three-season tent. At minimum, a quality three-season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain-fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are more specifically designed for summer backpacking and other activities. Many premium tents will feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain-fly for enhanced waterproofness. p For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four-season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to 20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also tend to be more expensive. pstrongfont color=CC6600Domes and Tunnels/font/strongbr Tents are broadly categorized into two types, freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and those that must be staked down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel. These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floor plan that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up for it by being more lightweight. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome. pstrongfont color=CC6600Size Matters/font/strongbr Ask yourself how many people you’d like to fit in your fabric hotel now and in the future. For soloists and minimalists, check out one-person tents. If you’re a mega-minimalist, or if you have your eye on doing some big wall climbs, a waterproof-breathable bivy sack is the ticket. Some bivy sacks feature poles and stake points to give you a little more breathing room. Also, if you don’t need bug protection and you want to save weight, check out open-air shelters. p Families who plan on car camping in good weather can choose from a wide range of jumbo-sized tents that will accommodate all your little ones with room to spare. A wide range of capacities is also available for three- and four-season backpacking and expedition tents. Remember, though, the bigger the tent you buy, the heavier it will be, although it’s easy to break up the tent components among several people in your group. It’s also helpful to compare the volume and floor-space measurements of models you’re considering.p
Columbia Bugaboo II Geo Dome Tent with Foot Lockers CustomerReview
First off, I’m and Eagle Scout and have been camping all of my life. Now that I’m 50+ I just got tired of laying down in my North Face backpacking tent to put on my clothes. After extensive research I ordered this tent from Amazon. This tent fits that bill perfectly.br /br /I ordered this tent for an upcoming 10 day trip to Kerr Lake with my son. It arrived in great shape and we immediately went to setting it up in the yard to check things out. Easy to set up by myself the first time. Definitely get better stakes. I went to Home Depot and got landscaping spikes as the pads at Kerr Lake are all gravel and you need something to get down through it. No, there’s not a footprint, but a tarp from Walmart fixed that. Some people complained about the material for the floor being the same as the sides, well it is, but it’s heavier and the classic bathtub design. With a good tarp, it’s not a problem and actually stops the noise from the poly type bottoms when walking around.br /br /We arrived at the lake and my son and I had the tent set up and staked solid in about 20 minutes. I will say that the front gear vestibules are a tight stretch when staking, so be prepared. We had cut some short boards to set up cots inside to protect the floor and added a small rag rug inside and a mat outside to keep dirt out. We didn’t use the dividers for the gear vestibules, nor the outside mat, nor the inside gear loft. There were plenty of pockets for pocket stuff, glasses, ipods, etc., everywhere. When properly staked, the tent breathes wonderfully. The next day, my son spent about 5 hours inside the tent during a rain event and was totally comfortable. Regarding rain, I checked the seams well before we packed it up from our initial set up. The seams were taped wonderfully on the fly and bottom, so no leaks were evident. It does come with a bottle of seam sealer that I’ll probably use yearly though. br /br /We found that the gear vestibules were actually pretty nice. They work well for parking shoes and access to quick items like headlights, etc. During the 10 day trip we endured all types of weather. Mostly wind (40 kts.), some rain, and lots of heat. During this time, we didn’t have any issues with the zippers at all. It is generally a 2 handed process, but they work and held up well. Ours never glowed though, our site was pretty shady. We did go get some tent fans, mid-week, but only used them sparingly as the breeze was generally good to stiff at night.br /br /Regarding the poles, yes it would be nice if they were aluminum with no sleeves to deal with, but for the price they performed well and didn’t seem to have a memory after the 10 day trip. Packing up was easy, and it fit into the bag, with the added tarp footprint without expanding the bag. I did buy a separate tool bag for the landscape spikes and the hammer.br /br /All in all I give this tent 5 stars. It’s big, dry, and well ventilated. it has lots of storage and seems to be pretty good quality. For the price, I’d certainly recommend this product to anyone for car camping/family camping.br /br /It is too heavy to be considered a backpacking tent. Not sure how it will do in the cold for hunting, but in 100+ temps, it performed well. I will update on our first cold weather trip.

br /br /I think so far the only thing I don’t like is that the tent itself isn’t completely covered – you must put the rain cover on top to get your privacy, and at the same time anyone could really just stick there head up underneath it to look in… and since I am going with a bunch of friends, I would kind of like to have a bit more privacy for my boyfriend!
