A proudly canadian brand
For over 65 years, KOMBI has designed for life outside.
From Canadian winters to wetter, less predictable seasons, we create protection made for every forecast.
A family business born in Montréal in 1961
KOMBI was born from a family story, rooted in Montréal and shaped by a love for winter. When Edward Pascal took over the company, he helped transform its glove-making expertise into a brand dedicated to warmth, comfort, and protection for life outside.
Today, his son Mark carries that legacy forward, leading KOMBI with the same care, purpose, and belief in products made to keep families moving through every season.
