Columbia Fit Guide
Columbia jackets, sportswear and tops come in a number of different 'fits'. Check the product description on the item to see which fit applies.
- Modern Classic Fit: A classic/standard fit, designed to provide space for layering whilst maintaining a stylish look.
- Relaxed Fit: A more generous fit that provides a bit of extra room for movement and comfort.
- Active Fit: A body skimming fit with end-use mobility in mind.
- Performance Fit: A tight fit that contours the shape of your body for a more streamlined shape without reducing freedom of movement.
In Our Opinion:
Columbia ski & snowboard jackets, sportswear and tops tend to fit very closely to the size chart above, so for a good fit, please go by these measurements. If you want a baggy look and feel, go for a size larger or a different fit. We are confident in the fit of these garments because:
- We have tried the jackets on ourselves, in a full range of models and sizes.
- We monitor customer returns.
- We see customers wearing the jackets in our Snowboard/Ski Shop
- We have been selling them for years!
When trying on garments, please allow for:
- The wearing of mid and / or base layers beneath the jacket
- The freedom of movement required for skiing, snowboarding and other outdoor activities
- The cut and style of the jacket
- The insulation which may or may not be included in a particular jacket
All of the above will differ depending on a jacket's specific design. A jacket's physical dimensions will always be significantly greater than your actual chest measurement but this difference will also vary from jacket to jacket. We strongly recommend that you never measure a jacket to determine the chest size you need.
How to Measure Yourself
- • Wear just an undergarment or nothing at all.
- • Stand up straight with your arms hanging by your sides
- • Breath normally and run a soft tape measure under your arm pits over the largest part of your chest and across your shoulder blades.
- • The tape measure should be snug, but not tight.
- • For your inseam, make sure you measure from the floor up.
Columbia Trousers, Shorts & Underwear
In order to determine the correct trouser, shorts and underwear size, you need to consider a few different measurements for men and women. These apply to all outdoor trousers, ski and snowboard pants and any item worn on the bottom half of your body.

The waistband size, as physically measured on a pair of pants, will rarely be the same as that quoted by the manufacturer because the manufacturer quotes the waist measurement of the person the pants are designed to fit and the waistband rarely aligns with a person's natural waist line.
If a manufacturer quotes a 34" waist, the pants should fit you if you have a 34 inch waist but the waist band on the pants, depending on the cut of the pants, may not actually be 34 inches. Please be aware of waist adjusters and built-in belts. If you decide to wear impact shorts, you might need to go up a size to make sure they fit under your trousers.
When you measure the inseam on a pair of snowboard or ski pants, it should be similar to your own inside leg measurement but people often wear snowboard or ski pants with shorter inseams than their inside leg measurement or their normal fashion trousers because:
1. Snowboard and ski boots are bulky and rise up your leg a fair way.
2. It's the fashion to wear your pants with the crotch low down towards your knees so, if you are one of these people, the inside leg measurement makes precious little difference.
3. People also wear pants with extra long legs if they like the bunched up look.
