Columbia is running an End of Season Sale with up to 50% off across 1,547 items — jackets, fleece, rain gear, hiking pants, footwear, and bags for men, women, and kids. This is the deepest discount Columbia runs all year and the right moment to stock up on technical outdoor gear before spring inventory arrives and sale stock clears out.
New Columbia Greater Rewards members also get an additional 15% off their first order on top of sale pricing — stack that on a 50% off item and you are looking at some of the lowest prices on Columbia gear available anywhere.
What Is on Sale
The sale covers every major category across the Columbia lineup. The highest-value items to target during an end of season sale are the technical pieces — the ones that carry the most MSRP premium and drop the furthest in percentage terms:
- Omni-Heat insulated jackets — Columbia flagship thermal reflective technology, typically $150-250 at full price
- Omni-Tech waterproof rain jackets — seam-sealed waterproof breathable shells, typically $100-200
- Fleece jackets and pullovers — Steens Mountain, Benton Springs, Fast Trek lines
- Hiking pants and shorts — Silver Ridge, Triple Canyon, Titan Pass
- Footwear — trail runners, waterproof hikers, casual shoes
- Bags and gear — daypacks, duffels, accessories
Columbia vs Competitors on Sale Pricing
| Brand | Sale Frequency | Max Discount | Direct Sale | Technical Gear |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Columbia (this sale) | End of season | Up to 50% | Yes | Yes |
| The North Face | Seasonal | Up to 40% | Yes | Yes |
| Patagonia | Worn Wear only | Up to 40% used | Used only | Yes |
| REI Outlet | Ongoing | Up to 50% | Multi-brand | Yes |
| Arc'teryx | Rare | Up to 30% | Yes | Yes |
Patagonia almost never discounts new gear directly. Arc'teryx sales are rare and shallow. The North Face end of season typically caps at 40%. Columbia at 50% off direct from the brand with full warranty is the strongest outdoor apparel sale available right now.
The Greater Rewards 15% Stack
If you are not already a Columbia Greater Rewards member, signing up gives you 15% off your first order. Applied to an item already at 50% off, that brings the total discount to 57.5% off original retail. For a $200 Omni-Heat jacket at 50% off ($100), the additional 15% brings it to $85. Free to join, no minimum spend required for the discount.
End of Season Buying Strategy
End of season sales reward buyers who know their size and do not need to be seasonal about their purchases. A waterproof rain jacket bought at 50% off in March is just as waterproof in October. Insulated jackets work year-round in air conditioning, early mornings, and cold climates. The conventional wisdom of buying outerwear in season is the most expensive way to shop Columbia.
Popular sizes — especially medium and large in mens, and small and medium in womens — sell through first. If you see your size in a style you want, do not wait for it to go lower. End of season pricing is the floor.
Verdict
This is a must-buy window for anyone who needs outdoor gear, activewear, or cold weather layering pieces. Columbia at up to 50% off with an additional 15% first-order stack for new members is the best pricing available on the brand all year. 1,547 items on sale means there is no category left out. Shop by category — mens, womens, kids, shoes, bags — and filter by price to find the deepest cuts in your size.
