After two collaborative capsules, Madhappy and Columbia Sportswear are back with a third outwear collection. The first collaboration, the Madhappy Outdoors collection, debuted in the summer of 2022. After the success of their previous winter capsule in November 2022, the partnership is returning to embrace the cold once more in 2023.
This time, the duo highlights the need to spend time in natural surroundings for mental well-being in winter by dropping apparel that nudges one to get outdoorsy with their warm yet stylish apparel. Madhappy x Columbia Sportswear’s third collaborative outerwear range will be grounded in Columbia’s classic heritage styles, emphasising functionality while exploring the vastness of nature.

Talking about the drop, Madhappy’s co-founder Mason Spector says, “Getting outdoors, especially during Winter is so important for your mental health. This collaboration is about uniting Madhappy’s positive outlook with Columbia’s outdoor enthusiast brand to create the perfect collection for all to get outdoors this Winter.”
