Love the outdoors? You’ll love Columbia too!

It all started in 1938 when two German nationals fled the regime of the time and settled in the Portland area. They bought a small hat company and renamed it Columbia, after the largest river in the Pacific Northwest. Things started picking up slowly and fast-forward 70 years, Columbia is a household name when it comes to outdoor accessories. Now they have jumped into eyewear and are offering the same excellent quality as in their outdoor gear. Columbia eyeglasses are designed with the outdoors in mind, so you can expect not just style and function, but also the ultimate performance. Columbia wants to change the reputation of prescription glasses – so we no longer think of glasses as items that are only suited for indoors. These tougher, sturdier, reliable frames will take you from a neighborhood park to a mountain top! The secret? Durable acetate and Monel paired with quality craftsmanship and a vision to excel.
