It looks cool and has nice design lines, however, I found the arm pit opening too tight. The only way it was comfortable moving my arms around was with the pit zips open. Even with a light layer, the arm opening was way too tight. The body of the jacket fit just fine, but sent it back because of the restrictive feel under the arms. Instead I went with the Outdoor Research Mithral jacket which has better fit all around.

This is a great jacket and a steal at the price. Fit is very flattering, although fits small so order up a size. Not a helmet hood, which I like.

Got this on SAC for the wife after I got mine and she loves it. Replaces an older MH rain jacket that never fit right. Very female oriented cut that looks great on her, and the chocolate color is even nicer looking in person. This jacket is a little muggy down here in the south, but just about everything is. Burly fabric and the welded seams make it look like you spent a lot more for it. Haven't had any issues with performance yet. The only thing I would improve on this jacket would be to put a wire in the brim of the hood to give it a little more rigidity. Aside from that, great buy especially on SAC.

I have to say that this jacket is extremely high quality. It is warm, great in the rain (I live in Seattle), quiet, and very comfortable. The size is right on for my marmot firefly fleece underneath, 5'7, 140 and I bought a medium. I got mine off of SAC but wouldn't hesitate to pay full is price. If you have been on the fence about this jacket, get off and buy it, you wont regret it.

I saw this jacket on sale and it was definitely worth the money. I'm 5'7" and 140 lbs and I got a medium, which fits fine with a sweater or light fleece underneath, but not with a down vest, a thick fleece or multiple layers. I like the semi-stretchy fabric and it seems fairly water resistant so far but I wouldn't wear it for heavy rain. I like how it is designed and cut, quite flattering. I disagree with the previous reviewer about not wearing it with light layers or only for climbing; in fact I wouldn't wear it for that but that might be just me.

I bought this jacket with the intent to use it as a shell to get me to/from the gym (with a light layer underneath). When I got the jacket I found that the way the pattern is cut with the drop shoulder and the underarm zip, those things cause it to cut extremely high into my armpit. It would feel ok if my arms were at a 90 degree angle at all times, but the minute you put your arms down...YIKES, it digs right in there!

I am actually an outerwear technical designer and work on fitting/patterns for outerwear jackets for a living; I don't know how the other reviewers thought the fit was great. Maybe they climb for a living and have their hands up all the time or wear huge sweaters that push the jacket away from the body. If you plan on buying it to wear with light layers underneath, I'd pass on this jacket.

Other people recommend to order a size up, but I found the medium to fit true to size to layer a down sweater underneath. (But it gets pretty poofy if I layer my very fluffy down vest underneath.) The fit is really flattering and both the sleeves and the torso are long enough to prevent drafts. The hood is cavernous (though probably not sized for a ski helmet) but has good adjustment. My only concern is that the hardware isn't very burly; I'm worried that the zippers or the drawcords will break. But the tradeoff is the weight, which I'm willing to sacrifice for. All in all I really like this coat.

This jacket is awesome, especially at $68. DEFINITELY SIZE UP. For comparison, I usually wear an XSmall Patagonia, Small if I'm layering, but I took a Medium in the Stoic 2.0 (I'll be layering).

I bought this shell for my girlfriend to wear over her Siphon wool hoody, the combination of those two jackets is absolutely wonderful, and this shell is top notch. I've waited a few months to review this because I wanted to see how it performed for her in different types of weather, to say the least it has been flawless - she has had nothing but wonderful things to say about this shell. The fit is true to the sizing charts and the quality is top notch.

This is a great shell but WAY small...consider sizing up 2x if you want to wear a down or bulky fleece under it.
fabric seemed sturdy/durable but the sizing is crazy...

Hurricane proof rain jacket. I camped in this jacket during a hurricane and it stayed dry the whole time. My only complaint is the stretchy part on the cuffs, my shirt underneath ended up with wet cuffs. The fit is great, it comes right below my hips. Great big hood, it should work well for ski season too.

nice shell. kind of short. if you plan on layering, size up. elastic around bottom hem doesn't pull super tight, and since there's no powder skirt i worry i'll get a bit cold if it's windy or i take a spill. on the positive side, zippers are smooth and smartly designed. construction seems bomber so far. nice shape for a women's jacket. for the price i'd say it's one of the best. sure, fancier shells are out there but not for $115. layer this with a down sweater or fleece for chilly days and you'll be happy, warm, and dry :-)

Bombproof.
The material is thick and strong, way more burly than I had expected.
The jacket is nice and waterproof and seems like it would perform in a variety of conditions. Skiing, touring, hiking, sitting in the rain, camping or anything else.
The cut is feminine and small. I'm 5'7" 115lbs and the small fits just perfectly. If I were any taller it would be too short. The arms are just long enough for me. The hood is well designed and comes right over my face to protect from wind and rain. Its cut like a gore-tex ski shell, but doesn't seem like it should be limited to just skiing. I intially bought it to be my around town/camping/hiking rain jacket as I already have an arcteryx shell for skiing. I might go ahead and use this one instead, as the cut of this one is less boxy and more flattering than my arcteryx beta AR.

Just received this jacket in time to use it on a Wind River trip. It didn't rain as much as I anticipated, but in the moments that it did rain, this jacket was Awesome! I love the feminine cut, it is very flattering. It is true to fit yet roomy enough to layer. I did layer my Backcounrty Down Sweater under it comfortably. It is a great addition to my jacket collection! I am in love...

jacket construction is good. fit is nice. ended up ordering a med when my gf normally wears small and that seems to be right fit considering all the layering under neath.

maybe a powder skirt would of been nice for snow sports

I love the color. I got it in chocolate. I live in SE Alaska, rains all the time, and I haven't had any troubles yet! My only trouble was with the zipper, that broke about a month after I got it. But no worries - I got it fixed and would still recommend this jacket to any and everyone. Great feminine cut - fits true to size. However, if you want to layer, order up a size.

love this jacket. Lots of outdoor brands dont make their womens clothes to fit like women's clothes. They eyed up being kinda baggy and not flattering. This jacket looks so great though. It definitely fits like a female jacket. Also, the quality is amazing. Water bounces off of it and wind doesn't make it through either. Great jacket! It looks great, and it works great too!

but does fit small so do orde a size up. I ordered a small and should ahve gotten a medium. Also, if you are ordering from Canada, once you've paid shipping, tarrifs, customs and exchange rate... not worth the money.You can get an arteryx cheaper at home

Okay, so the colors are kinda bland for me, but the jacket fits super well. I am an XS and this jacket fits great in the sleeves and scoops a little lower in the butt so when I bend over the back doesn't ride up. The cut fits like a glove in the neck and blocks wind around my chin. Hood is awesome - not sure if I can fit my helmet yet. This jacket is perfect to pack because its light weight. No rain or slush gets through with the welded seams. The only thing I would like to see with this jacket is possibly a skirt and wrist gators for skiing. It would be an unstoppable shell with those features. Either or, I love it even if it is poop brown.
