Westcomb Outdoor Jackets With Urban Intentions

By

Fall is here and winter is creeping around the corner. The time for winter commutes to the subway that feel like crossing the tundra are almost here. Thankfully, Westcomb, the outdoor brand synonymous with mountaineers, has just the thing to keep you comfortable and looking sharp. This Fall Westcomb debuted its Soho Jacket and Pemberton Parka. Both are made from Schoeller® c-changeTM fabric, which essentially adapts to your body temperature. The fabric constantly opens and closes during temperature shifts (aka it actually breathes). Both jackets have this material throughout for optimal comfort whether you’ret trying to keep warm walking or trying not to overheat on the subway.

The Soho Jacket comes in a pavement gray with no hood. It’s made of Schoeller® c-changeTM face wool and has a relaxed fit. It’s definitely your jacket for the daily winter commute. The Pemberton Parka comes in black and fits from your head down to your knees. It’s made of premium Canadian Hutterite Down without the marshmallow man look. It’s the Don Draper of down coats. You’ll want to break this beast out for this winter’s blizzards or that nor’easter.

Soho Jacket, $500

Pemberton Parka, $600

Altra debuts a rare new collaboration with ROA
Altra, ROA drop new trail sneaker

Although it’s rare to find Altra partnering with other brands, their latest collaboration with ROA seems to have been worth the wait. Along with the Italian brand ROA, Altra is releasing a new co-designed trail shoe full of all the technical features you need for outdoor activities. Because Altra doesn’t participate in many collaborations, there was no doubt this sneaker would impress. Made to blend with nature, the new sneaker is about functional footwear that can comfortably take you anywhere. Available in an Earth-toned color combination with hues such as dark brown, black, olive green, and muted yellow, this shoe is ideal for outdoorsmen looking for a go-to sneaker to reach for time after time. 
ROA x Altra Timp 5 GTX 

Crafted using waterproof, windproof, and breathable GORE-TEX uppers to protect the foot, the Timp 5 GTX sneakers utilize some of the latest footwear technology that helps improve performance. Using the Vibram Megagrip outsole, the sneaker comes equipped with maximum traction in any terrain or environment. The inside of the shoe comes ready with Altra’s EGO MAX midsole foam, which adds cushioning for durability and extra bounce in each step. As a bonus, the Timp 5 GTX sneaker includes a roomier toe box and zero-drop platform for even more toe support. This new trail sneaker is available now via Altra’s web store at $195. Although plenty of trail sneakers on the market offer diverse features and designs, the Timp 5 GTX is a true outdoor shoe made for durability and comfort. Since Altra is not known for being a frequent collaborator, their partnership with ROA is a unique opportunity to include a unique shoe into your lineup.

With these options, fans will have the option to choose from a sleek black and red combination or a vibrant blue and yellow mix. Available now at Hoka for $150, this sneaker is an excellent way to start your 2025.
