Amazon.com Product Description
Expressly designed for students and casual business users, the Columbia Umatilla cyberpack offers something that traditional day packs do not--a padded slot for a laptop. The side-access compartment protects your notebook computer should you accidentally drop the pack, take a bumpy bike ride across town, or stow it in an airline overhead. As a result, you can safely take your laptop just about anywhere. Of course, the Umatilla isn't just a laptop bag, as the main compartment can also hold notebooks, folders, and other items, while the smaller compartments can stow your school supplies. And thanks to the MP3 player pocket--which includes a rubber cord port--you can listen to your favorite tunes while strolling across campus without exposing your audio player to the elements. The Umatilla is no slouch from a comfort perspective, either, with a full-length padded back support and S-curve shoulder straps with EVA foam. The padded shoulder straps ensure extra comfort even when the cyberpack is fully loaded, while the back support's wicking knit polyester material is designed to keep you cool on hot afternoons. And busy users will dig the expandable industrial-mesh water bottle pocket, which accommodates a 1-quart bottle (sold separately) to keep you hydrated. Other details include abrasion-resistant zippers, an organizer panel, a key clip, reflective safety accents, and a daisy chain sewn onto the exterior for quick item storage and access. The Umatilla, which measures 12.25 by 18.5 by 9 inches (W x H x D), is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. About Columbia Sportswear
Founded in 1938, Columbia Sportswear Company has grown from a small family-owned hat distributor to one of the world's largest outerwear brands and the leading seller of ski-wear in the United States. Columbia's extensive product line includes a wide variety of outerwear, sportswear, rugged footwear and accessories. Columbia specializes in developing innovative products that are functional yet stylish and offer great value. Eighty-year-old matriarch Gert Boyle, Chairman of the Board, and her son, Tim Boyle, President and CEO, lead the company. Columbia's history starts with Gert's parents, Paul and Marie Lamfrom, when they fled Germany in 1937. They bought a small hat distributorship in Portland, Oregon, and named it Columbia Hat Company, after the river bordering the city. Soon frustrated by poor deliveries from suppliers, the Lamfroms decided to start manufacturing products themselves. In 1948, Gert married college sweetheart Neal Boyle, who joined the family business and later took the helm of the growing company. When Neal suddenly died of a heart attack in 1970, Gert enlisted help from Tim, then a college senior. After that, it wasn't long before business really started to take off. Columbia was one of the first companies to make jackets from waterproof/breathable fabric. They introduced the breakthrough technology called the Columbia Interchange System, in which a shell and liner combine for multiple wearing options. In the early 1980s, then 60-year-old Gert began her role as "Mother Boyle" in Columbia's successful and popular advertising campaign. The company went public in 1998 and moved into a new era as a world leader in the active outdoor apparel industry. Today, Columbia Sportswear employs more than 1,800 people around the world and distributes and sells products in more than 50 countries and to more than 12,000 retailers internationally.
