Columbia AW16 Collection at Urban Outfitters

Right on time for the winter and boosted by last year’s Kith collab, the COLUMBIA AW16 COLLECTION marks the welcome return of some classic cold weather bangers.

We’ve seen a strong run of retro outdoors gear in recent times – not the over-bearded heritage woodcutter kind, but the cleaner and more technical ’90s-rapper-on-a-mountaineering-expedition type. Columbia always made solid winter warmers and classic shell jackets, and they were just as much a part of the NYC streetwear aesthetic in the late ’80s and early ’90s as many other brands, even if they didn’t get quite as many rap lyric shout-outs. The Kith collaboration paved the way for a big comeback, and this winter is the perfect time for the brand to get the wider recognition it deserves. UK jacket fans rejoice, because Urban Outfitters have picked a strong selection of outerwear and mid-layers and have even dropped a couple of their own exclusive colourways for your delectation. A pair of lightweight panelled jackets come with great colour blocking and tech-looking mesh arm pockets (think Wu-Tang meets Sherpa Tenzing), while the famous convertible Bugaboo is back with its warm fleece liner in new colour combos. An all-black waterproof shell provides a toned-down alternative to the retro colours, while a selection of zip and pullover fleeces add that all-important layering potential with a strong hike-dad vibe. All in all, this solid line-up of weather-beating apparel with its very reasonable price range puts the “win-win” into “winter” (sort of).

The COLUMBIA AW16 COLLECTION is AVAILABLE NOW with URBAN OUTFITTERS. Take a look at the exclusive colourways and other highlights of the range below, and shop the styles now by clicking on the banners.
