About Columbia Sportswear
Founded in 1938, Columbia Sportswear Company has grown from a small family-owned hat distributor to one of the world's largest outerwear brands and the leading seller of ski-wear in the United States. Columbia's extensive product line includes a wide variety of outerwear, sportswear, rugged footwear and accessories. Columbia specializes in developing innovative products that are functional yet stylish and offer great value. Eighty-year-old matriarch Gert Boyle, Chairman of the Board, and her son, Tim Boyle, President and CEO, lead the company.

Columbia's history starts with Gert's parents, Paul and Marie Lamfrom, when they fled Germany in 1937. They bought a small hat distributorship in Portland, Oregon, and named it Columbia Hat Company, after the river bordering the city. Soon frustrated by poor deliveries from suppliers, the Lamfroms decided to start manufacturing products themselves. In 1948, Gert married college sweetheart Neal Boyle, who joined the family business and later took the helm of the growing company. When Neal suddenly died of a heart attack in 1970, Gert enlisted help from Tim, then a college senior. After that, it wasn't long before business really started to take off. Columbia was one of the first companies to make jackets from waterproof/breathable fabric. They introduced the breakthrough technology called the Columbia Interchange System, in which a shell and liner combine for multiple wearing options. In the early 1980s, then 60-year-old Gert began her role as "Mother Boyle" in Columbia's successful and popular advertising campaign.

The company went public in 1998 and moved into a new era as a world leader in the active outdoor apparel industry. Today, Columbia Sportswear employs more than 1,800 people around the world and distributes and sells products in more than 50 countries and to more than 12,000 retailers internationally.

Great quality and excellent for single use or lining of another bag. We find that it suits our needs in Florida when camping in the winter. Packs in a small carrier bag. Good product!

A thermoelectric cooler is a great edition to everyone's camping supplies. Although there are many uses for your thermoelectric cooler this article will show you 5 ways to get the most out of yours.

1. During long road trips or traveling to your camping destination is a great opportunity to make use of your thermoelectric cooler. Having you cooler plugged into your cigarette lighter & set on cool, you can put your food & drinks inside. Keeping your cooler easily accessible will help make your trip more enjoyable. No more pulling over to a roadside restaurant for an hour to eat. Sandwiches, fruit & drinks are ready when you are, making your destination a little closer.

2. After arriving at your camping destination, if your site has power hookups your thermoelectric cooler can be used as an outdoor fridge, which frees up your RV fridge for food. We all know, having room for fresh food when on a long trip is hard to come by. Plugging your cooler into an outside plug on your RV and filling it with juice boxes & snacks for the kids, milk & soda will keep your kids from going in & out of the RV, where they track in dirt, and let in insects. They can now easily get their own, freeing up your time to relax. During the evening & overnight you can unplug it, then plug it back in the morning. If you don't own an RV or have power at your site, use the cigarette lighter plug and run the cord outside.

3. Your thermoelectric cooler can also be used in your home. When you have family & friends over for the holidays or sporting events you will usually have a fridge full of food. You can plug your thermoelectric cooler in for your beverages & refreshments. You can also plug it in on the deck when you're having a BBQ, it's an extra fridge that can be used for extra space.

4. You can also use your thermoelectric cooler for keeping food warm. If you're traveling somewhere & need to keep food warm, you can plug your thermoelectric cooler into your cigarette lighter in your vehicle & place your food inside. When you arrive at your destination your food will still be warm. It will also prevent your food from spilling inside your vehicle.

5. Of course another way you can use your thermoelectric cooler is like a regular cooler. You can extend the cooling of any cooler by placing 1L frozen water bottles in the bottom. Depending on the number of frozen water bottles you use and the size of your cooler, this can extend cooling considerably. Experiment with the amount of bottles and see how long they last. Be sure not to fill the bottles completely, when the water freezes it expands and if the bottles are full they will burst open.

As you can see there are a number of uses for your thermoelectric cooler whether it be cooling or warming, during travel, camping of everyday uses. You have probably thought of a few of your own uses while reading this article. We use ours all year long and it has been a valuable purchase.
