Mountain Hardwear was founded in 1993 by a group of outdoor industry opposers to remain devoted to the needs of the outdoor athletes.
The founders observed that the industry was changing, compromising on quality and making products cheaper and less relevant to the technical consumer. To counter this trend, they have developed products specifically designed to meet the needs of outdoor athletes. Gözalan is the distributor of Mountain Hardwear in Turkiye since 2016. Mountain Hardwear is available at selected Columbia Sportswear stores.
