Description

The Westcomb Switch LT Hoody is an alpine jacket with pit zips and large Napoleon pockets. This jacket is soft and feather light yet offers superb wind and water protection without sacrificing comfort and breathability.

Details

  • Fixed Storm Hood - The 3-point adjustable hood is roomy enough to wear over a helmet, yet cinches comfortably down when worn without one. Bungee cord on each side of the hood and a third in back simply adjust with one-handed ease, keeping your other hand ready for the unexpected.
  • Adjustable waist system - Easy to adjust with one hand; just pull the cinch-cord within the hand pockets to lock out the elements. Press the one-handed release on the outside hem to loosen the jacket back up.
  • High collar with Velour lined chin-guard - Provides comfort and protection from the elements for your neck and face.
  • 2 Napoleon pocket - deep storage pockets provide easy access to essential gear.
  • 1 Bicep pocket - convenient easy access stash pocket for small items.
  • Internal media pocket - Easy to access pocket keeps your MP3 player, iPhone, or other valuables secure and dry.
  • Velcro cuff closure - Keeps snow, wind, and rain from creeping in right at the wrists.
  • Venting zippers - For those moments of extreme heat generating activity, conveniently located underarm zippers open the jacket to maximize air circulation to cool the body’s core. Micro Seam Taping - Creates the thinnest waterproof boundary while creating a more pliable seam without the added weight.
  • Laminated zippers, waist hem & wrist hem - Super durable fabric adhesive affixes these critical areas, creating waterproof, stitch-less, lightweight seams with weld-like durability and ultra clean aesthetics.
  • YKK® AquaGuard® Vislon® - Provide smooth operation with watertight performance. Reduces weight by eliminating the need for storm flaps.
  • Articulated sleeves - Integrated strategic pocket areas allowing for unrestricted movement in any position.

        Comments about Westcomb Switch LT Hoody - Men's:

        Took this jacket up Mt. Rainier last week for it's first use and it performed WONDERFULLY. Hiking up to Camp Muir (10,000 feet) we were in a cloud cover at about 28-30 degrees Fahrenheit. Cold enough to need a jacket, but the level of activity and heat output from my body requires a jacket that can BREATHE. This jacket BREATHES. The soft, stretchy new Polartec Neoshell was more breathable than my Gore Tex jacket and the eVent jacket I used to wear by a long shot. With the pit zips, I was good to go even on the steep sections where I was working hard. Up at 10,000 feet, in the strong wind and low temps, the shell fit perfectly over a fleece and insulating layer. Not only did it protect me from the wind like the best Gore Tex jacket on the market, the functionality and fit of the hood surprised the socks off me.

        Love this jacket. I look forward to using it for many years to come.

              outstanding jacket!

              after purchasing, realized that main zipper gets stuck frequently on the storm flap.

              zipper itself is not that 'smooth' pulling up and down, not a big deal.

              westcomb repaired by stiffening storm flap. problem fixed. small negative to have to pay for shipping to canada for inherent problem with jacket.

                  A:

                  The pockets are hidden by a flap, but the part you can see is red. The zipper pulls are grey. If you go to Westcomb.com, you will be able to see a close up of what they look like.

                Q:

                I notice that in two of the reviews the zip is reported to not run smoothly. No such fault is reported for the Apoc jacket. Why not? Do they use the same zips? Is the Apoc material slightly stiffer?

                  A:

                  The two jackets are featured with the same type of zipper. Unfortunately, there is no technical reason why the zippers would perform poorly. Our experience is that both jackets zip easily, and have not found either to not work correctly.

                • A:

                  Looking at the http://westcomb.com/ web site, the zippers in the two jackets are described identically. One cannot say for sure why the zippers in one jacket have reported problems while the other does not. Perhaps the users of the one are pickier or the users of the other are smarter.

                Q:

                This is advertised by westcomb as a lightweight shell, how small does it pack down? The new gore active shells pack down to about the size of an orange for example.

                  A:

                  Although the Westcomb Switch LT Hoody is advertised as a lightweight shell, it does not necessarily pack down small. Packed down to its smallest size would probably be about the size of a cantaloupe, to keep with the fruit analogy.

                  According to recent tests by independent labs, NeoShell does breathe better than Gore Tex Active Shell. If you do a google search for Neoshell Vs Gore-tex Active Shell, you will find some good articles and data.
