Columbia Sportswear is thanking military members and first responders with an extra 20% off in stores from October 30 through November 11, 2026 — a Veterans Day window offer posted on Columbia’s own store pages. The timing is no accident: the extra 20% runs right through Veterans Day, Wednesday, November 11, 2026, so service members and veterans can shop the sale in the days leading up to the holiday and on the day itself. And when the window closes, the savings do not disappear entirely: Columbia stores also run an everyday offer of an additional 10% off the entire purchase for military members and other community heroes.
If you serve, have served, or serve your community as a first responder, here is everything you need to know about Columbia’s military discount: who qualifies, how much you save during the Veterans Day window and year-round, and how to claim it in store.
Who is Eligible for the Columbia Military Discount?
Columbia’s in-store offers name the following groups:
- Military members — the Veterans Day window offer and the everyday offer both name military members, and the everyday offer is described on Columbia store pages as an offer for “Military, First Responders, College Students, Teachers, and Seniors (65+)”
- First responders — named alongside military members in the October 30 – November 11, 2026 extra-20%-off offer
- College students, teachers, and seniors (65+) — included in the everyday 10% offer at Columbia stores
Columbia’s store pages say “see store for details,” so if you are unsure whether your service qualifies, ask at your local Columbia store before checkout. Bring a military ID or other proof of service with you — stores confirm eligibility in person.
How Much Military Discount Does Columbia Provide?
Columbia offers two layers of in-store savings for military members:
- Veterans Day window: an additional 20% off, October 30 – November 11, 2026. Columbia store pages announce: “Military and First Responders enjoy an additional 20% off 10/30/26 – 11/11/26!” This is an in-store offer at Columbia Factory Stores.
- Everyday offer: an additional 10% off your entire purchase. Columbia store pages describe the standing offer this way: “Military, First Responders, College Students, Teachers, and Seniors (65+) can enjoy an additional 10% off their entire purchase at your local Columbia Store.”
The word “additional” matters: both offers are framed as extra savings on top of the store’s pricing, not a standalone coupon. The Veterans Day window ends November 11, 2026, so the 20% rate is time-bound — after that date, the everyday 10% offer is the standing deal. Columbia’s store pages note that in-store offers are subject to change and to “see store for details,” so confirm the current rate at your store if you shop after November 11.
How to Claim the Columbia Military Discount
- Find a Columbia store near you. This is an in-store offer, so use Columbia’s store locator to find a Columbia Factory Store or Columbia store in your area.
- Shop before November 11, 2026, for the extra 20%. The Veterans Day window runs October 30 – November 11, 2026. If you shop after that window, ask about the everyday additional 10% offer instead.
- Bring proof of service. Carry your military ID or other proof of military or first-responder status so the store can confirm your eligibility at checkout.
- Mention the military offer at checkout. Tell the associate you are claiming the military offer — no coupon is necessary for the in-store offer, per Columbia’s store pages.
- Check the discount before you pay. Confirm the extra 20% (during the window) or the additional 10% (everyday offer) has been applied to your purchase.
- See the offer details on Columbia’s own store pages: Columbia’s in-store offers — and remember the store pages say “see store for details” for the fine print.
