Love this backpack, April 23, 2009
By Jup (Sacramento, CA United States)
I bought this product as a daypack and carry-on bag for a three-week trip to Japan and China, which I took in Sept. 2008. (For those not paying attention, it's now almost May 2009 and I still love this bag.) It was perfect!

I looked at so many different backpacks trying to find just the right one. I had bought two and returned them before I found this one. Plenty of pockets and very comfortable. When I was using it as a carry-on, I was packing it to 35 pounds and didn't feel uncomfortable walking through the airport with it. It fit perfectly into the overhead bins and I was able to easily get to my stuff. I carried food, change of clothes, souvenirs, everything (allowed by the airlines of course) and it worked beautifully. I liked it so much, I'm back to buy another one for my girlfriend. I highly recommend this bag.

Excellent and versatile backpack!, August 30, 2008 I love this backpack! It's very durable, very spacious, very comfortable (thanks to the gel padded shoulder straps), and it looks great too! I love the fact that you can tuck the waist-belt away when you don't need it - what a smart design! The pocket on the top is very handy for quick access items (I keep a small pocket camera in there) and the main organizer compartment has plenty of smaller inner pockets for things like wallets, cell phones, keys, and all those other important smaller items. The main storage compartments are huge and hold a ton of stuff! Just an excellent all-around backpack that comes with a lifetime warranty to boot! Highly recommended!

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.



Product Description
The Columbia® Steens Mountain Sweater for men is made from super-soft and warm polyester MTR Fleece™ for quick-drying, non-pilling performance. The Radial Sleeve™ design eliminates restrictions and tugging that occur in the shoulders of ordinary jackets, and a drawcord hem allows you to adjust the bottom fit.

By Amazon Fan (Latin Ameri.)
I had read that Columbia sweater and jackets were bigger than usual, thats why I asked for a size S when I usually wear M, I tried my new Columbia Sweater and I like it, but I would have bought my usual size M.

Bright, well-made, and great price, June 13, 2009
By Mark D. Schnittman "mschnit" (Rocky Point, NY USA)
(REAL NAME)
In the world of LED flashlights, overpriced and cheaply made seems to becoming the norm. This light is well-made, puts out a surprisingly large amount of light, and is a great bargain for it's price. Highly recommended.

Lightwieght but powerful, June 8, 2009
I carry this in my pocket all the time. It is lightweight, but powerful. It also uses standard AAA batteries, so it is easy to maintain. I have dropped it several times, with no negative impact on performance.
