Columbia Sportswear Launches Star Wars Hoth Line of Jackets

Last Updated on: June 4th, 2018

Here is a fun and stylish way of bringing a bit more of the Star Wars franchise into real life. Columbia Sportswear has announced they will be launching a Hoth-style line of winter jackets inspired by the iconic outerwear seen in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.

The new Columbia Star Wars Echo Base Collection consists of three jackets modeled after the ones Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa wore in Empire Strikes Back. It launches in Columbia brand stores on December 8th, 2017. Here is a rundown of each Star Wars jacket’s features (source):

The officially-licensed, limited-edition Luke Skywalker™ Echo Base Jacket will keep you warmer than a tauntaun while you take on the Empire. This durable cotton-blend, water-resistant jacket and vest combination with a stowable hood is inspired by Luke’s original Hoth costume in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and features Omni-Heat™ Reflective insulation to conserve body heat. You’ll stay warm and dry whether you’re patrolling an ice planet or getting ready for a duel with your father.

HAN SOLO™ ECHO BASE PARKA

When cold weather hits, the officially-licensed, limited-edition Han Solo™ Echo Base Parka will keep you warmer than a hug from your favorite wookiee. Crafted of durable, water-resistant, cotton-blend fabric and insulated with Omni-Heat™ Thermal Reflective, it’s a lot like Han—rugged and durable on the outside, warm and full of surprises on the inside. Inspired by the original costume in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, the jacket features a faux-fur trimmed hood that allows you to slip past bounty hunters incognito whether you’re on the ice planet Hoth or a bit closer to home.

LEIA ORGANA™ ECHO BASE JACKET

Inspired by Leia’s Hoth costume in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, this rugged yet regal combo will help you lead with confidence whether you’re battling the elements or staring down a Star Destroyer.
