Review for
Westcomb Apoc Jacket - Men's
Pros:
* Much lighter and breathable than GoreTex
* Beads water than any other shell that I have tested (and I have tested some top of line ones...Arcteryx Beta AR, Alpha SV, North Face Point Five NG and Mountain Hardwear Kepler). Either it is Westcomb or the NeoShell fabric but even after several minutes in heavy rain the fabric doesn't get as soaked in as even new Gore Tex jackets (which kind of adds to the breathability of this jacket)
* Overall build quality is awesome
Cons:
* The wrist closure is thin and small. If wearing without any inner layer, there isn't enough material to tightly wrap it.
(No one does wrist closures better than Arcteryx!)
