Outdoor jackets

The Swiss outdoor specialist introduces Teresa Coryell House as the new Global Head of Digital. The new boss has years of experience in digital marketing and e-commerce.

The new owners have been chosen: Members of the Hamburg Otto family take over Symaptex Technologies from Munich. Sympatex continues to work independently, and Unterföhring also remains the company's headquarters.

Newcomer brand BLACKYAK is showing with its collections that optimal function and a city-suitable design are by no means mutually exclusive. The company is focusing on the know-how of the Swiss laboratory “Development never stops” in its technical development.

Whether it’s Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram: The outdoor community keeps posting three hashtags.

The manufacturing process saves on resources: Recycled plastic bottles are used to make this PVC-free jacket. So how green actually is Columbia’s new high-performance jacket?
