Camber has always been touted as one of the USA’s best American sweat manufacturers. Founded way back in 1948, Camber still operates out of the same factory in Norristown, PA, producing high-quality sportswear staples.
Being from the U.K., I hadn’t had the chance to see any of their products until my first trip to The States in 2020. I was in the Nepenthes store in Manhattan, and the clerks were raving about these Engineered Garments hoodies which were produced by Camber. But even after that, the brand remained somewhat elusive to me. Camber gear was (and sometimes still is) ‘hard to get hold of’, even in the USA. Stuff often sells out or is subject to a bit of a backlog leading to long lead times on re-stocks.
I wasn’t able to get hold of any Camber until 2021, when the brand had a moment and started to pop up with a range of British/European stockists. Since then, I’ve tried a range of Camber sweat pieces, and I’m here to give you my unbiased review of the stuff. I’ll be focussing on the brand’s Cross-Knit sweatpants and sweatshirts in this article, but if you want us to review Camber’s ultra-heavy tees or maybe even their Chill-Buster Hoodies, let us know in the Heddels+ discord!
The Fabric
Camber’s Cross-Knit fabric gets a lot of love for its hefty construction and horizontal knitting technique which reduces shrinkage. It’s a 90% cotton 10% polyester blend that has a pretty dry hand feel which remains even after washing. This stuff feels like armor, and it’s easy to see why Camber is a workwear brand first and foremost, outfitting those in need of cozy and warm garb for work. It’s safe to say that if you invest in a piece of Camber, you’ll be wearing it for a long, long time.
