Portland-based outdoor and sportswear brand Columbia has launched its latest collection of Star Wars-inspired adventure clothing, created for fans of the iconic space-based films who also like to get out amongst the elements on planet Earth.
Incorporated their award-winning proprietary technologies such as Omni-Heat Infinity - a sci-faction design used to produce some of the best jackets, base layers and fleeces available - Columbia have collaborated with Lucasfilm to create this years’ limited-quantity collection, which is inspired by Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series.
The brand claim the gear has been ‘built to take on the coldest planets in your galaxy’. This is the ninth time Columbia have collaborated with Lucasfilm to create a Star Wars-inspired collection, and for 2022 the designs have been based on costumes worn by iconic characters from the Emmy-winning animated series, including Obi-wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Ahsoka Tano.
