How does Columbia fit? An easy size guide for Columbia.

We get it. Online shopping is great in most other aspects, but when it comes to getting the right size, it's a battle. It's not always about the numbers in the label either, it’s important to find the right silhouette that’s comfortable and fits exactly how you want it to.

Founded back in 1938, Columbia has a histoy of crafting durable and versatile outdoor gear, putting the brand on the map as a destination for trending, but well crafted, and technically savvy gear to keep you warm in the colder climates. With a collection of graphic tees for the fashion-minded among us, to Jackets, Coats and Fleeces for the more intrepid explorers the Columbia collection has something for everyone to get their teeth into. 

This Columbia size guide should have you covered across our entire collection, including T-Shirts & Tops and Sweats & Hoodies as well as the Jackets & Coats department. 

To determine your size, start by measuring your neck, waist, chest, and hips. This’ll give you a rough idea of the size to look out for.

While all sizes are approximate, each garment is designed where the body measurement correlates to a general garment size.

With a collection of graphic tees and backprints, the Columbia T-Shirts & Tops selection doesn't hold back in making a statement. All cut to a regular fit, which as expected fits just like it says on the tin, these T-Shirts are defined by their nod toward the brands roots in quality outdoorwear. If you wanted a tee with a bit more of a relaxed fit through the torso however, sizing up is always an option. 

Much the same as the T-Shirt collection, Columbia's collection of Fleeces follow a similar pattern in the way of fit. Reguar fitting through the body these Fleeces are just roomy enough to fit some additional layers underneath for some more warmth, but if you wanted even more room for movement and flexibility, there's definitely no harm in sizing up for a more relaxed fit through the body. 

Sounds like we're repeating ourselves, but Columbia might be up there with the easier of the brands in our repertoire to determine your ideal size. Fitting, like everything else, regularly, which is to say comfortable, with no fuss or fanciful nips or tucks, this collection of Jackets & Coats are defined by their technically savvy fabrications and compositions. Utilising features such as Omni-Heat™ thermal reflective fabrics and Thermarator™ insulation, these jackets and coats are fully equipped to keep you warm and dry while you're hiking the great mountain ranges of the Great British landscape (or just nipping to big Tesco).
