I've been very happy with Columbia products. I have several shirts and the coat. I've been looking at some cargo pants for my disaster response bag.

The only problem I have with Columbia is their lack of searching on their website. They only make some of their products in sizes that fit me and there isn't any way to search their site to find them. I have to wait until their FAQ is updated and that never includes links to the items in question.

Any manufacturer that has a web site should have all the information about all of their products on their website.
