Q: What size should I buy?

A: That is a great question! All of our items have personalized size charts to make sure your Columbia Sportswear item fits like a glove. (See what we did there!?)

To locate these size charts you will need to find the size and fit section of the item's description. A link can be found under the color selections for the item you would like to purchase.

This will auto direct you to our sizing chart specially made just for that item.

Q: How do I measure myself to choose the right size?

A: To insure the correct fit, we suggest you measure yourself and compare your measurements to our size chart. Unsure how to measure yourself? We've got your back!
