<p>Think I would send my friend or sister to the outlet or nearest Columbia store to try them on for me! But I still think you might do well talking to the outlet staff by phone–ours are so knowledgeable. If you sign up for the new rewards program you can get 20% off a new purchase at the outlet (don’t know about the store or on-line). They have so many great jackets. The warmer ones are just coming in to the outlet stores now.</p>
<p>Spoke with the guy at Columbia & he said that they will continue to increase in stock through September. They currently only have a fraction of what they WILL be carrying soon.</p>
<p>I guess I’ll check back soon–the soonest I expect to be in cold weather is late October, early November.</p>
