Westcomb Outerwear Review

Today we are going to look at Westcomb Outerwear.

I posted this comment last week on Westcomb:

Westcomb: A relatively new player with some of the highest quality products in the market today. They are made in Canada, so the workmanship is far above other mainstream brands. The fabrics they use are the same you have come to know and love. But the big difference is in the colors. They use these really cool pigmented highlights that really make them different than the rest. And when you pick up the pieces you really can see the quality of the components and feel the workmanship. 

So here are some additional thoughts and images. The jacket pictured is the the Westcomb Cruiser in the color Vivid.

The zippers are high quality and you can feel it when you use them. Secondly, the smooth outer part of the zipper is amazing. The Event fabric has been used for this jacket

Another really cool feature is the pattern in the fabric. It really does set the jacket apart from the other brands. It is both fashionable and functional. The Cruiser has a checkerboard pattern. Other pieces have a pattern and a pigment to enhance the color.

Lastly, the internal jacket pockets show the solid workmanship and are well placed. You can also see the taping on the internal seams. Very well done.


All the gear from Westcomb has the same workmanship and high quality components.

As far as negatives, only one that comes to mind is that sometimes they run out of colors and models in middle of the season.

On the positive side, they are one of those companies that has not sold out to making the most money. They are throwbacks to the old days when quality made a difference and you don't comprise this principle. Great Warranty, when needed. Outstanding people. They are truly committed to the outdoor industry and all that it embodies They are one one the future pillars of the our world.
