Westcomb Tango Hoody - Review

    Westcomb Tango Hoody ReviewSoft, light, stretchy, warm and comfortable - that's how I would describe this jacket. All admirable attributes of any outdoor garment and 5 reasons why the new Westcomb Tango has found a permanent place in my hiking and ski touring wardrobe.

    I place far more emphasis on my mid layer choice than any other since it provides not only warmth and comfort but also plays double duty as an external layer when weather permits and/or you are fully exerting yourself and need to let off some steam. Truth be told, my mid layer gets far more action in the backcountry than my hard shell ever does. Did I mention that it's made with Polartec Alpha Insulation?

    Plenty more to read in the full reivew which is just a click away.
