Westcomb Vapor FX Hooded Jacket - Men's

Item #WTC0013 | 15 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Westcomb who?! Not anymore.

By Ranked #188 - Men's Technical Shells March 5, 2009

Fantastic jacket with lots of great features! For starters, I am 5'9", weigh 160#, and generally wear jackets with a 39" chest. The medium fits perfectly-- just baggy enough to layer appropriately without feeling like I was skiing in a smock. There is plenty of room behind the collar with and without the hood up and with or without a helmet on. No choking this chicken! The "boulder cuffs" are a cool sleeve feature-- a thumb hole allow a inner-sleeve "wrist gaiter" to cover the gap not covered by gauntlet gloves. The inner media pocket is a bit measley and the exterior pockets are pretty huge. I wish they could have shared the love on that one, as well as added, potentially, a pass pocket on the sleeve or another center-chest pocket. The powder skirt works well, as is evidenced by lack of diaper rash after last Wednesday's 30" Snowbird romp. The thing is stlyish and the eVent worked like a champ. This is my first Westcomb purchase and I'm recommending it.
