Department of Goods Description: Most waterproof and windproof fabrics are great-until they turn the skin track into a stifling sauna. The extremely breathable Backcountry.com Men's Stoic eVent Shell stands up to Mother Nature and expels sweaty funk like a beer-binging underclassman. If there's one thing the Stoic eVent Shell knows about the backcountry, it's that changing conditions are constant-fortunately, eVent fabric knows how to maintain a consistent temperature. Like a saffron robe to a Buddhist monk, the Stoic eVent Shell is the habit of the true backcountry disciple-this highly-breathable, totally bombproof shell is all about the pilgrimage. The ergonomic 20-panel design offers a nearly customized fit--roomy enough to layer, minus the fears of drowning. Pull up the fully-adjustable, helmet-compatible hood for shelter when the wind howls, and forget about Underarm zips when the sun shows its face-eVent is already breathing a couple steps ahead of you. Simple, lightweight, and easily stowable, the Stoic Shell owns anything from high-alpine ascents to spring corn sessions. Not to mention its 14oz weight, which has your summer backpacking shell pissing its non-existent pants.

Product reviews from Department of Goods:

eVent lives up to the hype |
This thing is amazing. Picked up the Blue(looks awesome). Definitely size up one. I am 5'10 200lbs and picked up a large which leaves room for layering but wish i would have sized up to an XL. This thing works just as advertised. Was in breck recently skiing and withstood 60+ mph gusts and and ice storm. worth every penny. Is a bit thin so having a nice soft shell underneath if it is going to be below 25F.

Don't let the light weight fool you. |
The Stoic will match heavier garbage-bag-tex materials for weatherproofness, but outperforms those same jackets when it comes to weight and breathability. Not enough people buy a shell for the material, and focus too much on looks and the label. Backcountry.com did some thinking when they designed the Stoic, and for a shell weighing in at only 14oz, managed an impressive, functional jacket- but without bells and whistles. If you are choosing an activity where you must carry your shell at points (warmer backcountry days, overnight trips, backpacking, etc) the Stoic is a perfect choice. Buy it one size larger unless you are looking for a strictly summer, snug fit. I'm 6'2 190 and a large fits but is too small with heavy fleece underneath. Also, my climbing helmet fits under the hood- but just.
