Just in time as you plan your outdoor adventures for the new year, Columbia Sportswear and Disney launch a colorful, 18-piece collection of outdoor gear inspired by Mickey Mouse. Available in both adult and youth sizes, the mouse-inspired collection consists of everything from rainwear, sun-protective shirts and hoodies, graphic tees, shorts, and hats, adorned with original sketches of Mickey enjoying the outdoors.

“Mickey Mouse is a true icon and we are thrilled to work so closely with the creative team at Disney to develop our newest outdoor collection,” said Michael Richardson, VP of Brand Apparel Merchandising and Design at Columbia. “For us, the magic really does begin outdoors, and we hope that these thoughtful pieces inspire fans to spend more time outside, drawing up outdoor adventures for themselves.”

“The inspiration for this Columbia collaboration began with an art style of Mickey Mouse that exemplified how he might embrace the outdoors,” said Jenifer Desofi, SVP of global product creation, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products. “We love the idea of offering fans designs that evoke an adventurous essence and highlight the wonder of exploration in nature through the lens of Mickey.”

Select highlights of the collection include:

• The Intertrainer Interchange jacket offers Columbia’s 3-in-1 system that connects a removable nylon lightweight outer shell to a soft fleece liner adorned with several sketches of Mickey. The outer shell is semi-transparent to reveal several drawings of Mickey on the fleece liner.
• The Ibex Jacket is a rain-ready, waterproof classic that features Mickey’s iconic ears on the storm hood, which can be tucked in or proudly displayed.
• The Sun Deflector Top was crafted with Columbia’s award-winning Omni-Shade™ Sun Deflector technology to help people stay cool and protected under the sun. This Disney version features thousands tiny Mickey Head silhouettes that deflect the sun’s rays and lend the shirt a reflective sheen.

This special collection is available online at columbia.com/disney and at select Columbia-branded retail locations in the U.S., Canada, China, Japan and Korea.
