Columbia Sportswear, the outdoor lifestyle brand founded by the "Tough Mother" Gert Boyle, launched the new fall-ready Columbia Helvetia Half Snap Fleece. This sweater is available in seven colorways, including flat colors such as blue, black, yellow, and beige, as well as patterned colors such as '80s Stripe Print.' Regardless of the selected colorway, though, the sweater retails for $101.00 USD, and is available online via Flatspot.

The Columbia Helvetia Half Snap Fleece is made from 100% polyester and sherpa pile fleece. It features a woven label, a zipper-equipped chest pocket, and a snap-button placket. The sweater comes in a relaxed fit, making it perfect for periods of rest and relaxation during the colder fall weather conditions.
