Excellent Jacket |
Size: MMy Dimensions: 5'9, 150lbs, athletic build.-First off, this jacket weighs 13 ounces, so it feels like almost nothing.-The hem falls 3-4 inches south of my belt, which is just about perfect for me, and it has elastic lanyard drawstrings (like those on the hood) so you can tighten it up if you need to. -When I first tried it on I thought the arms were too long, but they've proven to be really nice for hiking in the rain, because I can leave them loose, covering my hands almost entirely (nice for day-long hikes in cold Northwest drizzle), or I can secure the velcro cuffs, which are much longer in this version of the stoic (compared to the Stoic 2.0 bombshell design) and therefore much more versatile: I can fit thick gloves underneath them or snug them tight around my bare wrists. The arms are also very roomy compared to the Stoic 2.0, nicely accomodating a base layer and down jacket, and the material is so lightweight and compressible that you won't even notice the bunching of the excess fabric when worn over a tee-shirt.-The pockets are well-made and watertight. The small inner pocket for an ipod (or map) is a nice touch as well. The hip pockets seem standard but looking inside the jacket, you'll notice that they extend all the way up to the top of the chest pocket. In these pockets on various trips I have stored: a down jacket, a paperback, a klean kanteen, an msr hyperflow water filter, a loaf of bread...you get the picture. Of course you don't have to use this extra capacity and you won't notice it if you don't.-On breathability: yes, it breathes, and yes, you have to feel it for yourself to understand just how well it breathes. And it's totally waterproof. On a three day hike at roughtly 3000-5000 ft elevation, I forgot sunscreen (it was pouring and frigid on the first day) and ended up using this jacket instead. For two days it was 70-80F for most of the day, but I managed to stay relatively cool under the large hood. That may be one reason to consider buying the bright blue version: it will reflect sunlight MUCH more efficiently than the black. -Last but not least: the hood. The design of this hood, while essentially the same system as the stoic 2.0, is in fact a full upgrade due to a few new design details: 1) Cinch cords on the collar are now on the outside (thank you!). 2) Overall adjustment system is much tighter and more customizable, and does not slip because it uses real lanyards instead of those pieces of foam that were on the old stoics. 3) Brim is stiff but not heavy, and just long enough.-Durability: have not been able to damage it yet, but it IS thinner than the bombshell material, being a comparable to gore-tex pac-lite in thickness. However, those of you that want a jacket that it both thin, breathable AND super durable might want to check this one out: http://tiny.cc/8vepb

nice shell |
I like this because it is really light, simple and well built. Event breaths better than Gore-Tex. I wish it had pit zips and the pockets were a little higher up so they would not be covered up by the hip belts on my backpack. The hood is well designed, and the pockets can hold a lot of stuff. All-in-all a nice hard shell.
