Westcomb Drift Hoody - REVIEW

    Westcomb Drift HoodyI live in Whistler, so this garment traveled about two hours from where it was manufactured to my doorstep and testing ground. It was made by Canadian workers just a little ways down the highway, and it feels good to know that gear manufacturing is alive and well here in BC. Founded in 2005, Westcomb operates a state of the art facility in the heart of Vancouver, and sources all of their materials from companies with a similar ethical stance on production. The Drift Hoody is beautifully made and clearly a quality product, just as the rest of their award winning line of outdoor gear.
