Simons

It’s worth the trip over the Lions Gate Bridge.
• Where: 1060 Park Royal South, West Vancouver

Bench

• What: Known for their outwear, Bench doesn’t supply your basic Gore-Tex jacket. The styles are practical, comfortable, and stylish all at once. Of course, some styles are more stylish or practical than others, but the company strikes a nice balance overall.

Trout Rainwear
