about

Colmar is a sportswear brand. It was created by Manifattura Mario Colombo which, established in 1923 in Monza (Mi), had been producing hats and gaiters in wool felt for more than 20 years. The, immediately after World War II, with the return of sports events, the company began to produce sportswear with particular attention to skiing. It was the beginning of Colmar which, operating in close collaboration with the Italian Federation of Winter Sports, became famous as a manufacturer of high-tech and specialty garments.

In the 1940s Angelo and Giancarlo, Mario�s sons, joined the factory, and with them the company�s vocation for the mountain began to grow. Their ideas and determination gave rise to new insights and innovative proposals in fabrics. This flirtation with snow blossomed into love with the arrival of the �Olimpionica�, the original wind breaker: made of waterproof poplin, it has a large pouch pocket, ample cape like arms, and a hood.

Colmar�s Olimpionica sold like hot cakes, and a number of variations followed. Its success lay in its meticulous tailoring. Meanwhile the first prototypes of safety bindings appeared. Colmar encountered a symbol of Italian sports: Zeno Col�.
