Columbia Voltage II Full-Zip Jacket - Men's

May 14, 2009

This is not an interchange piece so it will not work. If you're looking for something in Columbia's hunting line specifically best try another source. However, if it doesn't have to be camo oriented then simply look for anything that is 3in1 compatible. Like the Ice Axe Softshell. Hope this helps!

Columbia Omni-Dry Silver Ridge II Cargo Short - Men's

Mens medium = 30-32 inch waist, large=32-34, xl= 34-36. not sure how this would translate to hip width but hoepfully this helps some. the Silver Ridge short also runs a bit slim due to the active cut so maybe order one size up from normal.

Columbia Blade Run Parka - Men's

April 6, 2009

Parka actually referes more to the fact that the jacket is insulated in someway. Without insulation the jacket would be referred to as a shell. Columbia has great parkas in the sens ethat we specialize in the interchange technology which allows you to effectively have 3 coats in one as you can remove the liner to wear seperately from the shell or combine them for ultimate warmth and weather proofness. This parka is one of our most popular and would suit your needs and the description of the gear needed for your trip. Enjoy!

Faux down is a poly based inslation that is meant to mimick down. Coats really cannot have a temp rating as it is totally based on the amount of activity being done. With normal out door activity this coat will keep the little ones well below freezing. Hope that helps.

That doesn't narrow it down very much! Do you know if they were Titanium or not?Are they nylon or cotton? The most popular pants for Columbia are the Silver Ridge Cargo and the Challenger pant. These are both nylon based and in the Titniaum line. Otherwise look for the Camp Roc or Roc Pant in a cotton.

Hope this helps.

The pant does have a pocket next to the right side pocket but it is a button closure, not zipper. The back pockets do not close with velcro, and the cotton is a heavier weight chino fabric. These are more for casual use and not technical. I would suggest looking at the Explorer Pant in our Titanium collection.

Check out the Omni-Shade page. Just type Omni-Shade into the search box. This is a link to all of the UPF rated product that Columbia produces. Columbia is also one of the only clothing companies to have the Skin Cancer Foudation's seal of approval. I'm sure you'll find enough clothes there to fill your closet!As for the hat, it's a standard baseball style back so I would assume a pony tail would fit through.
