Columbia Eyeglasses, Columbia eyeglass frames, Columbia Men's eyeglass frames
Columbia eyeglasses are geared towards people who enjoy the great outdoors. The brand has built a reputation for designing and selling eyeglasses that are trendy, bold, and rugged. Every frame exemplifies the brand's passion for technology, performance, and venturing outdoors, while keeping people protected, dry, warm, and cool.
The brand has an extensive range of ruggedly and elegantly designed eyeglasses, which continues to be expanded upon almost every year. Each new frame is unique and offers the wearer something different in terms of comfort, look, and feel. That's why it isn't uncommon for men to own multiple designs by the same brand. Many feel instantly attracted to Columbia eyeglass frames owing to their bold design.
As professionals, we've recommended Columbia Men's frames to hundreds of men over the years. Whenever we are asked to recommend a comfortable yet durable frame, we often recommend Columbia over the competition.
In this article, we'll go over a couple of reasons why we recommend the Columbia brand despite the growing competition out there.
A Brief History of Columbia Eyeglasses
Founded in 1938 in Portland by two Germans who had fled the Nazis during the Second World War, what started as a hat company was then named Columbia. They named the company after the largest river in the Pacific Northwest, reasons for which are unknown. However, what is known is that what started as a small company later grow to become Columbia Sportswear, which is now one of the leading manufacturers of sporting related accessories and clothing.
Columbia's frames benefit from the company's over 70 years of industry experience and their passion for the outdoors. The eyeglasses allow people to enjoy the outdoors, regardless of if it is a park or perhaps the top of a mountain. Made from materials like Monel, and Acetate, ensure that the frame is built to last.
Columbia Eyeglasses Service Multiple Purposes
Even though the Columbia brand is rightly associated with people who love to venture outdoors, the fact is that most of the frames work just as well in a formal and party setting. Regardless, if you want to wear it to work or a birthday bash in jeans or go rock climbing with friends, there is no need to switch out the glasses.
Every design introduced by Columbia serves multiple purposes, with a few exceptions. For instance, designs with thicker frames may not always work well in a business environment. That said, the brand has very few frame designs with a bolder, extremely prominent rim. However, the bridges and hinges are intentionally tight so that they stay on during rigorous activities.
Lightweight Design Makes Them Comfortable to Wear
While a couple of Columbia Men's eyeglass frames may appear to be heavy-looking, they happen to be amongst the lightest frames available. Made from premium materials, they weigh less than competing frames, while at the same time being comfortable to wear.
The metal frames often bear multiple layers of premium materials, which help it absorb shock, repel water in the form of sweat while cushioning the frame on the face. The comfortable fit and lightweight make the glasses easy to wear for the entire day or multiple days at a time. However, as professionals, we advise against sleeping with your glasses on regardless of its brand or make.
Available in Multiple Colors
Another great feature of these frames is that they are available in multiple colors. Columbia has, over the years, made it a point to ensure that their frames are available in at least three colors, and that's in addition to various two-tone options.
While many people may prefer to buy their pair of Columbia eyeglass frames in black or silver, there are a growing number of people who want to choose something different. So, now there are options in blue, red, green, brown and gray, etc. All these options make it easier to find exactly what you want.
Durable Construction
Another big reason why we recommend the Columbia brand is durability. Columbia eyeglasses are built to withstand the rigors of working outdoors. Whether you are a hiker, runner, hunter, or enjoy the white rapids, you know that Columbia's frames will hold up to all that activity and still last you years.
The quality metal construction has, over the years, proven to be sturdy for the vast majority of our buyers. Many buyers have reported using a single frame for multiple years, getting tired of it, but never needing to throw it away because it broke, the color faded, or the frame was bent. That's the type of durability that commands customer loyalty for the brand.
Reasonably Priced Eyeglasses
Not everyone can afford upwards for $500 for a pair of branded eyeglass frames. The Columbia brand makes it is possible to find frames that are as cheap as under a hundred dollars to ones that top out at several hundred dollars. The difference is in the design, look, and feel of each type of frame.
Most people will find that the majority of reasonably priced Columbia eyeglass frames more than serves the purpose for them. That said, the more premium quality frames by the brands offer a better experience, and once you use those, it is hard to downgrade!

While prices for these frames have always been extremely competitive special discounts and deals will help you save more money. We offer discounts on a myriad of frames by leading brands, which allows our buyers to save more money.
