Columbia is running several sales right now on outdoor gear, clothing and shoes. The main offer featured on this page is 30% off selected school styles, which works best if you are a member shopping for back to school items during the membership period.
The other active discounts are organized by product category and price point, so your best choice depends on what you plan to buy and how much you spend.
For members shopping school styles: The 30% off selected school styles deal is the headline offer and gives you the biggest percentage discount, but only on specific back to school items you choose. You must be a member to use it. On a $100 order of eligible school pieces, you save $30, bringing your total to $70. If the items you want are in this range, this is your best bet.
For women's clothing purchases: The up to 50% off women's clothing sale applies to selected pieces marked down on the site. The discount is already applied at checkout with no code needed. This sale can overlap with school styles if you are a member, so compare what you are buying. On a $120 basket of women's items at 40% off as an example, you save $48 for a total of $72. This beats the school styles offer if you are buying general women's wear rather than back to school pieces.
For shoe shopping: The shoes under $108 deal sets a price ceiling rather than a percentage off. This is useful if you want to know upfront that every shoe in the selection costs $108 or less. Compare this fixed price against any women's clothing sale price if your shoes would be eligible for that 50% off instead. If a pair marked at $160 is on the women's sale at 40% off, you would pay $96, which is better than the $108 ceiling. If the same shoe is not on the women's sale, the $108 price cap helps you budget.
For accessories and equipment: Items in this category are priced under $80.99 with no code required. Again, this is a fixed price point rather than a percentage, useful for budgeting. If you are buying a mix of shoes and accessories, work out the total with each offer applied to its eligible products. For example, a $150 basket with a $100 shoe purchase (eligible for the under $108 shoe deal at $100) and a $50 accessories purchase (at the under $80.99 price point, so $50 stands) gives you a $150 total. But if both items qualify for the women's sale at 40% off, the same basket would be $90, which is better.
For first time customers or future shopping: The newsletter signup does not give you a discount on this order, but it will email you about special offers and promotions going forward. Use this after you have completed a purchase using one of the sales above, so you do not miss future deals.
When you have items in your cart, compare the final price under each applicable offer. The school styles 30% off, the women's clothing up to 50% off, the shoes under $108, and the accessories under $80.99 are all automatic at checkout, so you should see the price adjust when you add eligible items. Pick the combination that gives you the lowest total to pay. Only one offer applies per item, so if your shoes qualify for both the women's clothing sale and the shoes under $108 deal, the one that costs you less is the one to use.
