Thought I'd throw in that I've had great service out of my columbia gallatin range wool, very warm and affordable.
do love Columbia stuff, some of the OmniHeat stuff works quite well and really like their hot weather shirts for staying cooler.....also on a Smartwool kick for base layer type stuff.....but most Columbia coats arent so good for where they might come in contact with barb wire and similar plant spines....only reason i shelled out for Filson was i wasnt happy haw fast the last few Carhart coats my brother and i bought started coming apart....had that not happened would likely still be wearing Carhart coats alot
