THERE WAS a time when Black Friday happened on a single day each year. And while mega sales still tend to fall on that special day after Thanksgiving, Black Friday deals tend to start earlier and last longer. For example, the good folks at Columbia Sportswear are running an early Black Friday sale across its signature gear and outerwear. From rain jackets and socks to fishing shirts and fleeces, the Pacific Northwest-based company is ready to set you up for comfort, fun, and style outside, whether you're a snow bunny, offseason hiker or just like to stay dry while out in the elements.
