I'd love to buy more from Columbia. I own several pairs of their shoes, a couple of sweaters, and a…read morelunch pail. But, to be bluntly transparent about this, even though my activities fit The Columbia Lifestyle, my girth prevents me from fitting most of The Columbia Clothing. Still, some of the garments are more amply proportioned than the marked sizing would suggest, so I have the two sweaters to show for my repeated efforts to find more gear. I nearly bought gloves yesterday, just because they fit. I did buy another pair of Columbia shoes yesterday, though. But from a oligarchy-compliant online retailer, not from the local store in Monterey. Why? Because I was able to try on the right size, though not (for my preferences) in the right color. The right color was available, but not in my size. And special orders are not possible, reportedly, from the local store. So, we funded a little more fuel for the rich man's rocket. But for whatever disappointment there could have been, yesterday's twenty minutes in the Monterey Columbia store was one of the better shopping experiences I've had in quite a while. Even though the eventual sale was clearly going to be made outside the local brick-and-mortar, Store Manager Sam made sure we were able to confirm the right size for the right color so that we could order online (from someone other than Columbia, since the rocket-owner ships to us for free) with relative confidence. We'll be back to see what fits in the future. Make that "the near future." Those gloves were pretty nice.

I went in looking for a vest but bought a jacket. I got the Heavenly Hooded Jacket in black. It's like a puffer jacket but sleek not bulky, light weight but very warm, special thermal lining, with sleeve inserts that you insert your thumb on like fingerless gloves but can be worn like normal sleeves. Yes it was costly but I will get plenty of use out of it. I wore it horseback riding today. I haven't bought a parka coat since 2000. I'm hopeful this jacket lasts as long as my Lands End parks has.

I recently needed to replace my uniform shirt and pants and again was met with the same excellent customer service. I'm sorry I don't remember the two ladies names that helped me with my fitting and alterations, but they were both amazing, kind, knowledgeable and made me feel so comfortable during the fitting process.

I enjoyed the conversation and hearing about his family, military service and his faith!

Will definitely be coming back next time for either a rental or board. Definitely made our day. P.S. Friendly and knowledgeable employees, they carry snow clothes, goggles, skis, snowboards, bindings, anything you name it. They even do rentals at an affordable cost and build it for you.

Then the outdoor stuff, including military dry meals packs loaded with protein! The prices are reasonable, those pilot jackets are only 60 bucks! I asked the staff where they got the military stuff, he said years of accumulations as well as government offloading.
