Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure	NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION Nature of the Business Columbia Sportswear Company is a global leader in the design, sourcing, marketing, and distribution of outdoor, active and everyday lifestyle apparel, footwear, accessories, and equipment products. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Columbia Sportswear Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and entities in which it maintained a controlling financial interest (the "Company"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions. Some of the more significant estimates relate to revenue recognition, allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, excess, close-out and slow moving inventory, product warranty, impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill, income taxes, and stock-based compensation. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under the ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. The adoption of this provision did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases ("ASC 842"), which increased transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases previously classified as operating leases. The updated guidance and subsequent clarifications require disclosures to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company adopted this standard utilizing the modified retrospective approach. The comparative prior period information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company has elected to adopt the package of transition practical expedients and, therefore, has not reassessed (1) whether existing or expired contracts contain a lease, (2) lease classification for existing or expired leases or (3) the accounting for initial direct costs that were previously capitalized. The Company did not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight for leases existing at adoption date. The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of ROU assets of $352.7 million, with corresponding lease liabilities of $387.1 million. As a result of adopting the standard, $34.4 million of pre-existing liabilities for deferred rent and various lease incentives were reclassified as a component of the ROU assets. At adoption, the measurement of the lease liabilities utilized the remaining minimum rental payments as defined under the previous accounting standard and the incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASC 842 did not materially impact the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Also, the adoption of ASC 842 had no material impact on operating, investing or financing cash flows in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Note 10 for additional disclosure regarding the adoption of the new standard. The following table presents the effect of the adoption of ASC 842 on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets: (in thousands) December 31, 2018 Adjustments due to January 1, 2019 Operating lease right-of-use assets $ — $ 352,679 $ 352,679 Total assets 2,368,721 352,679 2,721,400 Accrued liabilities 275,684 (3,346) 272,338 Operating lease liabilities — 57,207 57,207 Current liabilities 572,882 53,861 626,743 Non-current operating lease liabilities — 329,865 329,865 Other long-term liabilities 45,214 (31,047) 14,167 Total liabilities 678,408 352,679 1,031,087 Total liabilities and equity 2,368,721 352,679 2,721,400

The TCJA made broad and complex changes to the United States tax code, including, but not limited to: • reducing the United States federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%; • requiring companies to pay a one-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries; • generally eliminating United States federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries; • requiring a current inclusion in United States federal taxable income of certain earnings of controlled foreign corporations; • eliminating the corporate alternative minimum tax ("AMT") and changing how existing AMT credits can be realized; • creating the base erosion anti-abuse tax; • a new provision designed to tax global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI"); • creating a new limitation on deductible interest expense; and • changing rules related to uses and limitations of net operating loss carryforwards created in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. In conjunction with the enactment of the TCJA, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 ("SAB 118"), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the TCJA. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the TCJA enactment date for companies to complete the accounting for the effects of the TCJA. Any legislative changes, including the final Section 965 transition tax regulations issued on January 15, 2019, the impacts of which are currently being assessed due to the complexity and interdependency of the legislative provisions, as well as other new or proposed Treasury regulations, may result in additional income tax impacts which could be material in the period any such changes are enacted. For the year ended December 31, 2017, in accordance with SAB 118, the Company reflected the income tax effects in the financial statements for those aspects of the TCJA for which the accounting was complete and recorded an incremental provisional net tax expense of $95.6 million for those aspects for which the accounting was incomplete but able to determine a reasonable estimate. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded an incremental tax expense of $5.1 million as adjustments to the provisional tax expense. Details related to the incremental expenses in 2018 are outlined below. Reduction of United States federal corporate tax rate The TCJA reduces the United States federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a provisional decrease to net deferred tax assets of $15.0 million, for certain deferred tax assets and liabilities, with a corresponding charge to deferred income tax expense of $15.0 million. In 2018, the Company determined the provisional amount was affected by other analyses related to the TCJA, including, but not limited to, the Company's calculation of deemed repatriation of foreign income and the state tax effect of adjustments made to federal temporary differences. As a result, in the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded an increase to net deferred tax assets of $1.5 million for certain deferred tax assets and liabilities, with a corresponding charge to deferred income tax expenses of $1.5 million to finalize the accounting for this element of the TCJA. Transition tax on foreign earnings The Deemed Repatriation Transition Tax ("Transition Tax") is a United States tax on the Company's previously untaxed accumulated and current earnings and profits ("E&P") of certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a provisional obligation of $49.9 million. In 2018, the Company determined, in addition to other factors, the amount of post-1986 E&P of the relevant subsidiaries, as well as the amount of non-United States income taxes paid on such earnings. As a result, in the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded $5.4 million to a liability account to finalize the accounting for this element of the TCJA. The Transition Tax will be paid over an eight year period beginning for the tax year ending December 31, 2017. Deferred tax liability associated with future repatriations For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a provisional estimate of $23.7 million related to the tax effects on future repatriations of foreign earnings. In 2018, the Company completed additional analysis of the effects of the TCJA and of its applicable foreign earnings. As a result, in the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded $1.6 million of income tax expense to finalize the accounting for this element of the TCJA. Disallowance of foreign tax credits The Company repatriated foreign earnings in 2017 for which certain foreign tax credits were no longer allowable under the TCJA. As a result, for the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a provisional estimate of $7.0 million of income tax expense. In 2018, the Company completed additional analysis of the effects of the TCJA and recorded a decrease of $0.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2018 to finalize the accounting for this element of the TCJA. Global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") tax For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company did not record a provision related to the new GILTI tax under the TCJA because of the complexity of the new tax rules and the lack of clarity surrounding the application of the relevant accounting guidance. In 2018, the Company elected an accounting policy with respect to the GILTI tax rules, which is to treat GILTI as a period cost. Deferred Income Tax Balances Significant components of the Company's deferred taxes consisted of the following (in thousands): December 31, (in thousands) 2019 2018 Deferred tax assets: Accruals and allowances $ 38,532 $ 39,276 Capitalized inventory costs 34,389 34,548 Stock compensation 5,013 4,318 Net operating loss carryforwards 23,660 18,800 Depreciation and amortization 32,293 39,511 Tax credits 2,329 1,353 Other 2,258 1,570 Gross deferred tax assets 138,474 139,376 Valuation allowance (24,130) (18,550) Net deferred tax assets 114,344 120,826 Deferred tax liabilities: Depreciation and amortization (15,738) (22,048) Prepaid expenses (2,661) (2,301) Deferred tax liability associated with future repatriations (19,847) (21,323) Foreign currency loss (3,610) (6,520) Gross deferred tax liabilities (41,856) (52,192) Total net deferred taxes $ 72,488 $ 68,634 The Company has foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $84.3 million as of December 31, 2019, of which $73.5 million have an unlimited carryforward period and $10.8 million expire between 2025 and 2039. The net operating losses result in deferred tax assets of $23.7 million and $18.8 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These deferred tax assets were subject to a valuation allowance of $21.9 million and $16.5 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. At December 31, 2019, the Company has accumulated undistributed earnings generated by the Company's foreign subsidiaries of $420.6 million. As $174.8 million of such earnings have previously been subject to the one-time transition tax on foreign earnings by the TCJA, any additional taxes due with respect to such earnings would generally be limited to foreign and state taxes and have been recorded as a deferred tax liability. However, the Company intends to indefinitely reinvest the earnings generated after January 1, 2018 and expects future domestic cash generation to be sufficient to meet future domestic cash needs. Unrecognized Tax Benefits The Company conducts business globally, and, as a result, the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Canada, China, France, Japan, South Korea, Switzerland, and the United States. The Company has effectively settled Canadian tax examinations of all years through 2012, United States tax examinations of all years through 2013, Japanese tax examinations of all years through 2014, France tax examinations of all years through 2014, Swiss tax examinations of all years through 2014, Italy tax examinations of all years through 2016, and China tax examinations of all years through 2018. The Korean National Tax Service concluded an audit of the Company's 2009 through 2013 corporate income tax returns in 2014, and an audit of the Company's 2014 corporate income tax return in 2016. Due to the nature of the findings in both of these audits, the Company has invoked the Mutual Agreement Procedures outlined in the United States-Korean income tax treaty. The Company does not anticipate that adjustments relative to these findings, or any other ongoing tax audits, will result in material changes to its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Other than the findings previously noted, the Company is not currently under examination in any major jurisdiction. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: December 31, (in thousands) 2019 2018 2017 Balance at beginning of year $ 11,064 $ 10,512 $ 9,998 Increases related to prior year tax positions 4,374 490 858 Decreases related to prior year tax positions (5,423) (1,093) (2,895) Increases related to current year tax positions 4,991 1,818 2,714 Settlements (1,464) 319 — Expiration of statute of limitations (1,064) (982) (163) Balance at end of year $ 12,478 $ 11,064 $ 10,512 Due to the potential for resolution of income tax audits currently in progress, and the expiration of various statutes of limitation, it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits balance may change within the twelve months following December 31, 2019 by a range of zero to $1.9 million. Open tax years, including those previously mentioned, contain matters that could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations as they relate to the amount, timing, or inclusion of revenue and expenses or the sustainability of income tax credits for a given examination cycle. Unrecognized tax benefits of $11.5 million, $9.1 million and $6.9 million would affect the effective tax rate if recognized at December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company recognizes interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company recognized a net reversal of accrued interest and penalties of $0.5 million in 2019, and a net increase of accrued interest and penalties of $0.4 million in 2018 and a net reversal of accrued interest and penalties of $1.4 million in 2017, all of which related to uncertain tax positions. The Company had $1.5 million and $2.1 million of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Stock Options Options to purchase the Company's common stock are granted at exercise prices equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. Options generally vest and become exercisable ratably on an annual basis over a period of four years and expire ten years from the date of the grant. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes model. Key inputs and assumptions used in the model include the exercise price of the award, the expected option term, the expected stock price volatility of the Company's stock over the option's expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the option's expected term, and the Company's expected annual dividend yield. The option's expected term is derived from historical option exercise behavior and the option's terms and conditions, which the Company believes provide a reasonable basis for estimating an expected term. The expected volatility is estimated based on observations of the Company's historical volatility over the most recent term commensurate with the expected term. The risk-free interest rate is based on the United States Treasury yield approximating the expected term. The dividend yield is based on the expected cash dividend payouts.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Financial Instruments and Risk Management	normal course of business, the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows are routinely subject to a variety of risks. These risks include risks associated with financial markets, primarily currency exchange rate risk and, to a lesser extent, interest rate risk and equity market risk. The Company regularly assesses these risks and has established policies and business practices designed to mitigate them. The Company does not engage in speculative trading in any financial market. The Company actively manages the risk of changes in functional currency equivalent cash flows resulting from anticipated non-functional currency denominated purchases and sales. Subsidiaries that use European euros, Canadian dollars, Japanese yen, Chinese renminbi, or Korean won as their functional currency are primarily exposed to changes in functional currency equivalent cash flows from anticipated United States dollar inventory purchases. Subsidiaries that use United States dollars and euros as their functional currency also have non-functional currency denominated sales for which the Company hedges the Canadian dollar and Great British pound. The Company manages these risks by using currency forward contracts formally designated and effective as cash flow hedges. Hedge effectiveness is generally determined by evaluating the ability of a hedging instrument's cumulative change in fair value to offset the cumulative change in the present value of expected cash flows on the underlying exposures. For forward contracts, prior to June 2019, the time value components ("forward points") were excluded from the determination of hedge effectiveness and included in current period Cost of sales for hedges of anticipated United States dollar inventory purchases and in Net sales for hedges of anticipated non-functional currency denominated sales on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract. Effective June 2019, the forward points are now included in the fair value of the cash flow hedge on a prospective basis. These costs or benefits will be included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss until the underlying hedge transaction is recognized in either Net sales or Cost of sales , at which time, the forward points will also be recognized as a component of Net income . Hedge ineffectiveness was not material during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. The Company also uses currency forward contracts not formally designated as hedges to manage the consolidated currency exchange rate risk associated with the remeasurement of non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities by subsidiaries that use United States dollars, euros, Canadian dollars, yen, won, or renminbi as their functional currency. Non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, receivables, payables, deferred income taxes, and intercompany loans. The gains and losses generated on these currency forward contracts not formally designated as hedges are expected to be largely offset in Other non-operating income (expense), net by the gains and losses generated from the remeasurement of the non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The following table presents the gross notional amount of outstanding derivative instruments: December 31, (in thousands) 2019 2018 Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges: Currency forward contracts $ 471,822 $ 399,348 Derivative instruments not designated as hedges: Currency forward contracts 214,086 379,701 At December 31, 2019, $9.9 million of deferred net gains on both outstanding and matured derivatives recorded in Other comprehensive loss are expected to be reclassified to Net income during the next twelve months as a result of underlying hedged transactions also being recorded in Net sa les or Cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Actual amounts ultimately reclassified to Net sa les or Cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income are dependent on United States dollar exchange rates in effect against the euro, renminbi, Canadian dollar, and yen when outstanding derivative contracts mature. At December 31, 2019, the Company's derivative contracts had a remaining maturity of less than four years. The maximum net exposure to any single counterparty, which is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain of all contracts with that counterparty, was less than $5.1 million at December 31, 2019. All of the Company's derivative counterparties have investment grade credit ratings. The Company is a party to master netting arrangements that contain features that allow counterparties to net settle amounts arising from multiple separate derivative transactions or net settle in the case of certain triggering events such as a bankruptcy or major default of one of the counterparties to the transaction.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measures	assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, under a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1 — observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active liquid markets; Level 2 — inputs, other than the quoted market prices in active markets, that are observable, either directly or indirectly; or observable market prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions; and Level 3 — unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available, that require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. The Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized as Level 1 or Level 2 instruments. Level 1 instrument valuations are obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets. Level 2 instrument valuations are obtained from inputs, other than quoted market prices in active markets, that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace and quoted prices in markets with limited volume or infrequent transactions.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	NOTE 21—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS As described in Note 5, the Company owned a 60% controlling interest in a joint venture formed with Swire. In 2018, the Company and Swire entered into an EITA, under which the Company committed to buy out the 40% non-controlling interest in the joint venture. The buyout was subject to various terms and conditions. As part of the buyout arrangement, in 2018, the Company placed $14.0 million in an escrow account as a portion of the funds needed to complete the buyout in early 2019. The escrow account is shown as Restricted cash on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2018. On January 2, 2019, the buyout transaction closed, and Swire was no longer considered to be a related party. Pursuant to the terms of the buyout arrangement, the escrow balance of $14.0 million was paid to Swire. In April 2019, the Company remitted a final payment of $3.9 million to Swire, based on the final outcome of certain accounting estimates associated with the China joint venture. As a result of the buyout, beginning in 2019, the consolidated financial statements of the Company do not separately reflect amounts related to the non-controlling interest. The Company engaged in the following related-party transactions with Swire for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017: Administrative, information technology and sourcing services The joint venture arrangement involved Transition Services Agreements with Swire, under which Swire provided administrative and information technology services to the joint venture. The fees incurred for these services by the joint venture were immaterial during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. In addition, the joint venture paid Swire sourcing fees related to the purchase of certain inventory. These sourcing fees were capitalized into Inventories and expensed as Cost of sales when the inventories were sold. Loan repayment In 2014, both the Company and Swire funded long-term loans to the joint venture. In 2017, the Company repaid these loans, including the note with Swire in the principal amount of RMB97.6 million (approximately US$14.2 million). Interest expense related to this note was $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. Third-party distributor As a third-party distributor, Swire purchased the Company's products under the Company's standard third-party distributor terms and pricing, and sold to consumers in certain regions outside of mainland China.

New Accounting Pronouncements or Change in Accounting Principle [Line Items]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under the ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. The adoption of this provision did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases ("ASC 842"), which increased transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases previously classified as operating leases. The updated guidance and subsequent clarifications require disclosures to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company adopted this standard utilizing the modified retrospective approach. The comparative prior period information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company has elected to adopt the package of transition practical expedients and, therefore, has not reassessed (1) whether existing or expired contracts contain a lease, (2) lease classification for existing or expired leases or (3) the accounting for initial direct costs that were previously capitalized. The Company did not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight for leases existing at adoption date. The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of ROU assets of $352.7 million, with corresponding lease liabilities of $387.1 million. As a result of adopting the standard, $34.4 million of pre-existing liabilities for deferred rent and various lease incentives were reclassified as a component of the ROU assets. At adoption, the measurement of the lease liabilities utilized the remaining minimum rental payments as defined under the previous accounting standard and the incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASC 842 did not materially impact the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Also, the adoption of ASC 842 had no material impact on operating, investing or financing cash flows in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Note 10 for additional disclosure regarding the adoption of the new standard. The following table presents the effect of the adoption of ASC 842 on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets: (in thousands) December 31, 2018 Adjustments due to January 1, 2019 Operating lease right-of-use assets $ — $ 352,679 $ 352,679 Total assets 2,368,721 352,679 2,721,400 Accrued liabilities 275,684 (3,346) 272,338 Operating lease liabilities — 57,207 57,207 Current liabilities 572,882 53,861 626,743 Non-current operating lease liabilities — 329,865 329,865 Other long-term liabilities 45,214 (31,047) 14,167 Total liabilities 678,408 352,679 1,031,087 Total liabilities and equity 2,368,721 352,679 2,721,400 Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) issued by the FASB in August 2018, which clarifies certain aspects of accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement ("CCA") that is a service contract. Under the ASU, an entity would expense costs incurred in the preliminary-project and post-implementation-operation stages. The entity would also capitalize certain costs incurred during the application-development stage, as well as certain costs related to enhancements. The ASU does not change the accounting for the service component of a CCA. The Company adopted the standard using the prospective method and anticipates an increase in cloud-specific implementation assets as specific cloud initiatives are developed at the Company. These assets will amortize over their assessed useful lives or the term of the underlying cloud computing hosting contract, whichever is shorter. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment issued by the FASB in January 2017, which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. Under this guidance, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment charge shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The impact of the new standard will depend on the specific facts and circumstances of future individual goodwill impairments, if any. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments issued by the FASB in June 2016, as well as the clarifying amendments subsequently issued. The pronouncement changes the impairment model for most financial assets and will require the use of an "expected loss" model for instruments measured at amortized cost. Under this model, entities will be required to estimate the lifetime expected credit loss on such instruments and record an allowance to offset the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, resulting in a net presentation of the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. Upon adoption of the standard, there was no immediate impact to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. On an ongoing basis, the Company will contemplate forward-looking economic conditions in recording lifetime expected credit losses for the Company’s financial assets measured at cost, such as the Company’s trade receivables and certain short-term investments. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 ,

Summary of Significant Accounti

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policy)	12 Months Ended

Property, Plant and Equipment [Line Items]
Nature of the Business	Nature of the Business Columbia Sportswear Company is a global leader in the design, sourcing, marketing, and distribution of outdoor, active and everyday lifestyle apparel, footwear, accessories, and equipment products.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Columbia Sportswear Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and entities in which it maintained a controlling financial interest (the "Company"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Estimates and Assumptions	Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions. Some of the more significant estimates relate to revenue recognition, allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, excess, close-out and slow moving inventory, product warranty, impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill, income taxes, and stock-based compensation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are stated at fair value or at cost, which approximates fair value, and include investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of acquisition. At December 31, 2019, Cash and cash equivalents consisted of
Investments	Investments At December 31, 2019, Short-term investments consisted of mutual fund share investments held as part of the Company's deferred compensation plan expected to be distributed in the next twelve months. At December 31, 2018, Short-term investments consisted of United States government treasury bills, and mutual fund share investments held as part of the Company's deferred compensation plan expected to be distributed in the next twelve months. The United States government treasury bills are classified as available-for-sale securities and are recorded at fair value with any unrealized gains and losses reported, net of tax, in Other comprehensive income (loss) . Investments held as part of the Company's deferred compensation plan are classified as trading securities and are recorded at fair value with any unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of operating income. Realized gains or losses are determined based on the specific identification method. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, long-term investments included in Other non-current assets
Accounts Receivable	Accounts receivableAccounts receivable have been reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company makes ongoing estimates of the collectability of accounts receivable and maintains an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company's customers to make required payments.
Inventories	InventoriesInventories consist primarily of finished goods and are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. The Company periodically reviews its inventories for excess, close-out or slow moving items and makes provisions as necessary to properly reflect inventory value.
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The principal estimated useful lives are: land improvements, 15 years; buildings and building improvements, 15-30 years; furniture and fixtures, 3-10 years; and machinery, software and equipment, 3-10 years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment of long-lived assetsLong-lived assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are measured for impairment only when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired. In these cases, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows to be derived from the asset or asset group to determine whether a potential impairment exists. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, the Company recognizes an impairment loss, measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset.
Intangible Assets and Goodwill	Intangible assets and goodwillIntangible assets with indefinite useful lives and goodwill are not amortized but are periodically evaluated for impairment. Intangible assets that are determined to have finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives and are measured for impairment only when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired. Intangible assets with finite lives include patents, purchased technology and customer relationships and have estimated useful lives which range from approximately 3 to 10 years.
Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets	Impairment of intangible assets and goodwill The Company reviews and tests its intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may be impaired. The Company's intangible assets with indefinite lives consist of trademarks and trade names. Substantially all of the Company's goodwill is recorded in the United States segment and impairment testing for goodwill is performed at the reporting unit level. In the impairment test for goodwill, the two-step process first compares the estimated fair value of the reporting unit with the carrying amount of that reporting unit. The Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units using a combination of discounted cash flow analysis, comparisons with the market values of similar publicly traded companies and other operating performance based valuation methods, as necessary. If step one indicates impairment, step two compares the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the estimated fair value of all reporting unit assets and liabilities, except goodwill, to determine the implied fair value of goodwill. The Company calculates impairment as the excess of carrying amount of goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill. If events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of intangible assets with finite lives may be impaired, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows to be derived from the asset or asset group to determine whether a potential impairment exists. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset the Company recognizes an impairment loss, measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset.
Income Taxes	Income taxes Income taxes are provided on financial statement earnings for financial reporting purposes. Income taxes are based on amounts of taxes payable or refundable in the current year and on expected future tax consequences of events that are recognized in the financial statements in different periods than they are recognized in tax returns. As a result of timing of recognition and measurement differences between financial accounting standards and income tax laws, temporary differences arise between amounts of pre-tax financial statement income and taxable income and between reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect estimated future tax effects attributable to these temporary differences and to net operating loss and net capital loss carryforwards, based on tax rates expected to be in effect for years in which the differences are expected to be settled or realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on future taxable income in specific jurisdictions. Valuation allowances are used to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts considered likely to be realized. Accrued income taxes in the Consolidated Balance Sheets include unrecognized income tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions, including related interest and penalties, appropriately classified as current or noncurrent. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the relevant taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. In making this determination, the Company assumes that the taxing authority will examine the position and that it will have full knowledge of all relevant information. The provision for income taxes also includes estimates of interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
Derivatives	Derivatives The effective portion of changes in fair values of outstanding cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income until earnings are affected by the hedged transaction, and any ineffective portion is included in current income. In most cases, amounts recorded in other comprehensive income will be released to earnings after maturity of the related derivative. The Consolidated Statements of Operations classification of effective hedge results is the same as that of the underlying exposure. Results of hedges of product costs are recorded in Cost of sales when the underlying hedged transactions affect earnings. Results of hedges of revenue are recorded in Net sales when the underlying hedged transactions affect earnings. Unrealized derivative gains and losses, which are recorded in assets and liabilities, respectively, are non-cash items and therefore are taken into account in the preparation of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows based on their respective balance sheet classifications. Refer to Note 19 for more information on derivatives and risk management.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign currency translation The assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiaries have been translated into United States dollars using the exchange rates in effect at period end, and the sales and expenses have been translated into United States dollars using average exchange rates in effect during the period. The foreign currency translation adjustments are included as a separate component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue recognition Revenues are recognized when the Company's performance obligations are satisfied as evidenced by transfer of control of promised goods to customers or consumers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Within the Company's wholesale channel, control generally transfers to the customer upon shipment to, or upon receipt by, the customer depending on the terms of sale with the customer. Within the Company's direct-to-consumer ("DTC") channel, control generally transfers to the consumer at the time of sale within retail stores and concession-based arrangements and upon shipment to the consumer with respect to e-commerce transactions. The amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive and recognize as Net sales across both wholesale and DTC channels varies with changes in sales returns and other accommodations and incentives offered to customers and consumers. When the Company gives customers the right to return products or provide other accommodations such as chargebacks and markdowns, the Company estimates the expected sales returns and miscellaneous claims and records a sales reserve to reduce Net sales. These estimates are based on historical rates of product returns and claims, as well as events and circumstances that indicate changes to such historical rates. However, actual returns and claims in any future period are inherently uncertain and thus may differ from the estimates. As a result, the Company adjusts estimates of revenue at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration the Company expects to receive changes or when the amount of consideration becomes fixed. If actual or expected future returns and claims are significantly greater or lower than the sales reserves established, the Company records an adjustment to Net sales in the period in which it made such determination. Licensing income, which is presented separately as Net licensing income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and represents less than 1% of total revenue, is recognized over time based on the greater of contractual minimum royalty guarantees and actual, or estimated, sales of licensed products by the Company's licensees. The Company expenses sales commissions when incurred, which is generally at the time of sale, because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within SG&A expenses . The Company treats shipping and handling activities as fulfillment costs, and as such recognize the costs for these activities at the time related revenue is recognized. The majority of these costs are recorded as SG&A expenses , and the direct costs associated with shipping goods to customers and consumers are recorded as Costs of sales . Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recorded as Net sales . Revenue recognized from contracts with customers is recorded net of sales taxes, value added taxes, or similar taxes that are collected on behalf of local taxing authorities.
Cost of Sales	Cost of sales The expenses that are included in Cost of sales include all direct product costs related to shipping, duties and importation. Specific provisions for excess, close-out or slow moving inventory are also included in cost of sales. In addition, some of the Company's products carry life-time or limited warranty provisions for defects in quality and workmanship. A warranty reserve is established at the time of sale to cover estimated costs based on the Company's history of warranty repairs and replacements and is recorded in Cost of sales
Selling, General and Administrative Expense	Selling, general and administrative expense SG&A expense consists of personnel-related costs, advertising, depreciation, occupancy, and other selling and general operating expenses related to the Company's business functions, including planning, receiving finished goods, warehousing, distribution, retail operations and information technology.
Revenue from Contract with Customer	Shipping and handling costs Shipping and handling fees billed to customers and consumers are recorded as Net sales . Inventory planning, receiving, storage and handling costs are recorded as a component of SG&A expenses and were $89.2 million, $82.7 million and $73.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-based compensationStock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the award's fair value and is recorded as expense when recognized. For stock options and service-based restricted units, stock-based compensation cost is recognized over the expected requisite service period using the straight-line attribution method. For performance-based restricted stock units, stock-based compensation cost is recognized based on the Company's assessment of the probability of achieving performance targets in the reporting period. The Company estimates forfeitures for stock-based awards granted, but which are not expected to vest.
Advertising Costs	Advertising costs Advertising costs, including marketing and demand creation spending, are expensed in the period incurred and are included in SG&A expenses . Total advertising expense, including cooperative advertising costs, were $166.4 million, $150.4 million and $121.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Cooperative advertising costs are expensed when the related revenues are recognized and included in SG&A expenses when the Company receives an identifiable benefit in exchange for the cost, the advertising may be obtained from a party other than the customer, and the fair value of the advertising benefit can be reasonably estimated. Recently issued accounting pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under the ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees.

See Note 10 for additional disclosure regarding the adoption of the new standard. The following table presents the effect of the adoption of ASC 842 on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets: (in thousands) December 31, 2018 Adjustments due to January 1, 2019 Operating lease right-of-use assets $ — $ 352,679 $ 352,679 Total assets 2,368,721 352,679 2,721,400 Accrued liabilities 275,684 (3,346) 272,338 Operating lease liabilities — 57,207 57,207 Current liabilities 572,882 53,861 626,743 Non-current operating lease liabilities — 329,865 329,865 Other long-term liabilities 45,214 (31,047) 14,167 Total liabilities 678,408 352,679 1,031,087 Total liabilities and equity 2,368,721 352,679 2,721,400 Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) issued by the FASB in August 2018, which clarifies certain aspects of accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement ("CCA") that is a service contract.

The pronouncement changes the impairment model for most financial assets and will require the use of an "expected loss" model for instruments measured at amortized cost. Under this model, entities will be required to estimate the lifetime expected credit loss on such instruments and record an allowance to offset the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, resulting in a net presentation of the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset.

On an ongoing basis, the Company will contemplate forward-looking economic conditions in recording lifetime expected credit losses for the Company’s financial assets measured at cost, such as the Company’s trade receivables and certain short-term investments. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 ,
Lessee, Leases	Leases The Company leases, among other things, retail space, office space, warehouse facilities, storage space, vehicles, and equipment. Generally, the base lease terms are between five Certain lease agreements also contain lease incentives, such as tenant improvement allowances and rent holidays. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 10 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is generally at the Company's sole discretion. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception. The Company recognizes a ROU asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date. Key estimates and judgments include how the Company determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the unpaid lease payments to present value, (2) the lease term and (3) lease payments. ASC 842 requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease because it does not have access to the lessor's estimated residual value or the amount of the lessor's deferred initial direct costs. Therefore, the Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for the lease. The Company's incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest it would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms. Because the Company does not generally borrow on a collateralized basis, it uses quoted interest rates as an input to derive an appropriate incremental borrowing rate, adjusted for the lease term and the effect on that rate of designating specific collateral with a value equal to the unpaid lease payments for that lease. The Company also contemplates adjusting the discount rate for the amount of the lease payments. The Company's lease contracts may include options to extend the lease following the initial term or terminate the lease prior to the end of the initial term. In most instances, at the commencement of the leases, the Company has determined that it is not reasonably certain to exercise either of these options; accordingly, these options are generally not considered in determining the initial lease term. At the renewal of an expiring lease, the Company reassesses options in the contract that it is reasonably certain to exercise in its measurement of lease term. For lease agreements entered into or reassessed after the adoption of ASC 842, the Company has elected the practical expedient to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Therefore, for those leases, the lease payments used to measure the lease liability include all of the fixed consideration in the contract. Variable lease payments associated with the Company's leases are recognized upon occurrence of the event, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed. Variable lease payments are presented in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same line item as expense arising from fixed lease payments.
