If you love the outdoors -- or just want to look like you do -- the Columbia Factory Store is a…read moremust-stop. The selection here is fantastic, with everything from jackets and hiking shoes to thermal gear and hats, all at factory outlet prices. I've found deals that beat most online discounts, especially during seasonal sales. The staff deserves a shoutout. They're genuinely helpful, not pushy, and always willing to check stock or help you find the right size. You can tell they actually use the products and know what they're talking about. The store is clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate -- no digging through messy racks like some outlets. The checkout process is quick, and the team keeps the line moving even when it gets busy. Pro tip: Sign up for the Columbia Rewards program. I've scored some extra savings and early access to sales that make it worth it. Overall, this is one of the best outlet shopping experiences in the Portland area. Whether you're gearing up for a hike or just looking for a solid rain jacket (we are in the PNW), Columbia has you covered -- literally! LMAO

This Columbia Outlet store had so many great deals, it was overwhelming…read more I stopped by here yesterday afternoon because I'm in the market for some new winter outerwear. I was specifically hoping to find boots and/or a jacket. On top of having an entire floor full of clearance jackets, they also had about a dozen racks under tents outside of the store. It seemed like they probably had every Columbia jacket that had been made within the past few years. There was also a ton of Mountain Hardware and Sorel. The Mountain Hardware jackets were about 25-50% off, which was still significantly cheaper than REI or anywhere else that I know of. I ended up feeling so overwhelmed by the jacket selection that I decided I needed to do some research, and come back. I ended up leaving with two pairs of snow boots: 1 Columbia, and 1 Sorel. I got both pairs for $55, including tax and a very small roundup for the National Park fund. I've been looking for boots for a couple of weeks, and the cheapest I've found comparable boots anywhere else was anywhere from $69-129. So, I was beyond stoked to find two pairs I liked in the clearance section. They were also having a store wide BOGO half-off sale, which is how the total ended up so low. I didn't have, and have actually never had any of the issues with outlet stores that other people brought up in their reviews. I used to work at the outlets in Folsom. Most of the merchandise isn't damaged or defective-- it's just overstock or barely out of season. The boots that I purchased are honestly of similar quality to brand new boots from DSW. I just got really lucky (and have a seventh sense for when things will be on sale due to all my years of working in retail). Staff was super friendly and helpful. Overall a great experience and I would definitely shop here again.

I am a Supply & Logistics Management business major over at Portland State and one of my 400 level courses is the reason I got to tour this facility. I don't believe it is open to the public. Any supply chain dork would love a look into how a large company like Columbia Sportswear gets their product distributed out to all their many customers. The warehouse is HUGE! If you count both the floor space as well as the different mezzanine levels overhead there is 1.5 million square footage. There are conveyors carrying product from one department to another and other conveyors that weigh boxes in a split second. They have a crazy cool scanner system that knows when to sticker boxes and when not to. The staff members were great and I appreciate that they were willing to give up some of their time to show us around. Hopefully one day I will be luck enough to work for such a cool company.

Outdoor gear junkie? Columbia takes their warranties seriously!…read more **Review for luggage and backpacks: I bought two rolling backpacks online (Ridge Runner C1204-407), in 2002ish, when I started doing heavy globe trotting. These were backpacks that you could snap in [the included] smaller day-packs, and just roll everything with one hand. I'd wear one on my back, roll the other, then detach a day-pack for carry-on. Or, just strap them all together to create one unit. I had it down! Til this day I have yet to see a bag engineered so brilliantly. So, you could imagine how upset I was after 10 years, when the handle on one broke and the other bag began to rip. THE COMPLAINT I had thrown $$$$ down on these bags because they came with a lifetime warranty. I was so scared that Columbia wouldn't be able to fix them, that I just kept using them - causing further damage. When I booked my last international trip, I called Columbia and they promised to take care of me by either fixing my bags or replacing them with similar items. I just needed to pack them up and enclose a letter detailing my concerns. Letters of complaint - pshhh never a problem. THE SOLUTION After two weeks, I was connected with Ben (I think). He explained that while my bags were amazing, they were no longer in production. However, he offered to help me select new bags for the retail price; and when that wasn't enough to cover the overall functionality that I'd become accustomed to, they let me go a little over budget so I could feel good about my replacements. JUSTIFIED LOYALTY - SCIENCE & CAPACITY They did the math - that's hot! I returned two rolling backpacks that functioned like luggage/hiking packs, and two small daypacks (set). In exchange, I received a (1) lightweight backpacking backpack with rain cover and ergonomic back frame (trail grinder 40L) (2) a small rolling duffel for carry-on and (3) and their largest xl rolling duffel bag. It took us an hour to figure it how many liters I was used to carrying at once, and how I could get the same capacity, versatility, and desired look - given their current stock. I don't think it would have taken most people this long, but I'm an overly conscious consumer who researches everything. In retrospect, I should have jotted down Ben's suggestions then called back, but he labored through with me - much appreciated. SCORE The added bonus: the new design of my new backpack meets carry-on restrictions [to date], because they got rid of the bulk. This means that ole girl [hopefully] never has to check her bag again - unless she wants to! The bag just rolls into position in the overhead bin. It is so lightweight in design that I don't even travel with the roller bags. OK, kinda lying because it depends on the trip - at times I will check the small rolling duffel with books or shoes. However, most of the time, this former bag lady only carries one bag. A+ for making me a more efficient traveler. BOTTOM LINE My initial investment in Columbia paid off. When it comes to bags, they have a customer for life in me! NOTES: They have a cute little store at PDX airport. The staff is awesome - truly love their own gear. You can go in here and geek out over everything Columbia including socks and blankies without judgment - they love it too.

We got in line and my husband took a picture of our original receipt before we did the return for details on the garments that we purchased. A man in line behind us said something to my husband about why aren't you moving (in the line) and my husband turned around and said I'm taking a a picture and calm down we'll move in a second. The gentleman said oh sorry I didn't know. Well little did we know that a sales associate behind the counter that saw the interaction from a different perspective, thought that we were being rude to the gentleman behind us. So lo and behold we get up to her counter and she cops an attitude from the get go. My husband, who is the nicest person in the world, tries to make conversation with her at which point she turns to us and says I thought you were rude to the gentleman behind you. Mind you the whole time, she is giving us attitude and throwing our garments on the counter. That is when I stepped in and said oh no Liz, you don't get to say that. So here's the reason for my review. As a sales person I get it. You get good and bad customers. By all means Liz, talk to your coworkers after we leave if you think we were that rude to the gentleman behind us. The gentleman and myself and my husband had moved on from the incident, but you decided to make a bigger issue out of it. That is not customer service! That is rude on your end. Your job is to help the customer. Whatever you think of the customer in that setting, you keep it to yourself. Share with your coworkers after we leave. Share with your family when you get home from a long day. But do not tell the customer that they were rude when you did not read the situation correctly! At this point, it will be a very long time before I step back into a Nordstrom rack.

The styles are always nice looking, fit well, are durable and come in beautiful shades and prints. Nothing too out there, but also not plain. Their designs are classic meaning, you can wear them season after season. And since they are high quality, they last more than one season. In addition to clothing, they carry gear like sun protection hats, rain pants and jackets, hiking shoes, running shoes, caps, backpacks, umbrellas and more. Just love this store! Those working here are friendly and helpful without being pushy. I'm so happy they just opened up a shop at the Columbia Gorge Outlets which needs some good anchor stores to make the trip worth it. They are currently hiring if you know someone seeking a job in retail.
