5 Columbia Picks for Your Summer Adventures

Straight From the Office

Columbia Men's PFG Charter Polo Shirt for $28 via coupon code "COLMAY60" (a low by $22)

This polo is perfectly appropriate for work and for whatever outdoor pursuit you have planned for afterwards. You'll have more time for fun when you don't have to factor in changing clothes.

Beat the Heat

Columbia Women's Silver Ridge Zero Polo Shirt for $18 via coupon code "COLMAY60" (a low by $8)

This polo is designed to be cooling, so you're good to go for hiking and biking even in the middle of July. It also gives off a way more polished vibe than the usual tanks and tees.

Take a Break From Leggings

Columbia Women's Pilsner Peak Shorts for $22 via coupon code "COLMAY60" (a low by $5)

If you step outside for more than 30 seconds at a time, leggings and yoga pants will not take you through the summer. These shorts will be just as comfortable, and they have added bonuses of pockets and UPF 50 sun protection.

Counterintuitive Coverage

Columbia Men's Mekong River Hoodie for $52 via coupon code "COLMAY60" ($78 off)

A jacket for summer might sound crazy, but you do need to protect yourself from hazards like ticks, poison ivy, and the occasional rain shower. This hoodie is at least designed to block sun and wick sweat.

Stay Dry

Columbia Women's Big Sandy Creek Jacket for $48 via coupon code "COLMAY60" ($72 off)

If your exploits happen to take you near a waterfall (or through a torrential downpour), you'll probably be glad to have fully waterproof outerwear. This jacket will minimize your soakage, but it's also breathable so you won't feel like you're in a sauna.
