Columbia Sale Details
Columbia's early Black Friday sale is already underway and you can expect to see reduced prices into the holidays. The prices below were accurate at the time of publish but are subject to change. To keep you up-to-date, we'll be updating this page as often as possible.
A Quick Language Note
We make deliberate choices about the language we use when it comes to gender. While more brands now carry gender-neutral workout clothes, you’ll still typically see clothing brands market their products to men or women, so we've listed both women's and men's options below. However, the main differences are size and fit (generally, loose versus tight).
For shoes, specifically, some men's shoes are built to support greater weights. So people with bigger bodies may want to opt for men's versions, whereas people with smaller bodies may prefer women's versions.
Always choose what feels best on your body — regardless of what the label says.
