Great Jacket; awesome deal

Love this jacket; fits awesome - slim fit (5'8" 145lbs - size S). Water proofing is well done, so are all the features, like the hood, wrist gaiters, powder skirt, etc. My only semi-complaint is that the sleeves are a bit long/wide, but I think that's the style.
Great and not so great in one...

Great zippers, I really like how easy they are to pull, even the pits and I don't do yoga. But, the front does not pull up from the bottom which is a fairly serious oversight in a "technical shell" so this is not. Also, the wrist gaiters are too tight and/or long and generally not needed. You can cut them out. The front of the hood is too high and rubs my chin all the time, and besides that the electronics pocket sucks. That pocket is better for something else that you don't use all the time, because it is on the inside, no pull on that zipper, behind the front zipper (the tall chin whacker with non-detachable hood), and, well I still like this shell. It has kept me dry and somewhat warm although that takes some nice warm Stoic underlayers. Its good stuff I hope future versions have some refinements. I would buy again for sure. But don't expect miracles ha. Perfect for: giraffes, long skinny arms, flip phone users, skiers of all stripes, and your mom. Really she would appreciate this jacket if trying to ski in the mountains in a storm. Don't get her anything less than you would use. If she's paying for this, then lead with that my friend.
Awesome

Has a nice fit- (I got M 5' 10" 175) The blue stands out really well. The only downside is I would prefer the pit zips to be a little larger.
Awesome Jacket!!

I bought this jacket because I was tired of sweating to death in my old ski jacket. I've had this jack out on cold days at the resort, warm days XC skiing, and average temp days touring around the backcountry. This jacket hasn't let me down yet. It breathes so well!! On cool days at the resort I'm plenty warm with a merino base layer and a down vest (occasionally I'll throw on a light fleece if the temps drop too much). The jacket is very windproof and the pit zips offer great ventilation. I'm 5'9" 165lbs and a medium fits great. I initially tried a small but found it to be too tight around my waist.

I Have had this jacket for most of this season, only got to use it a few times on the slopes but was overall impressed. Fit is good, weight is good and it looks sweet. Bummer Stoic is going away.
Only complaint is the wrist gators were designed for a woman. Can't wear them of my hands go numb (minor issue)

Sadly yes, it has been a Backcountry.com signature brand from the beginning and they have decided to discontinue the brand. I assume that it is not worth the hassle. They are planning on selling the remainder of there inventory and then they will be teaming up with some major name brands to carry their gear with the Backcountry.com logo. Sad but true.
Whats in a name?

Nothing if it cant deliver. Performance in a multitude of conditions, pockets to pack, outstanding material, and quality build. I love how versatile this shell is. Still trying to find when I won't sport it. Extremely pleased I didn't pay for a bigger name, and got all I wanted! Buy for performance.
I'm 6'0, 170-180 lbs. Medium fits great

The jacket fits awesome. I, like most, looked at reviews and toiled with getting either a large or a medium and went with the medium. If you watch the video that the one guy posted; my fit is not as baggy or long as his. It's not too baggy, long, or loose. There's plenty of room for layering, but doesn't look bulky.
How is the fit on the Bombshell? Does it...

How is the fit on the Bombshell? Does it have any extra room for layering?
I have a Stoic Stash in XL which fits fine, but anything over a medium weight base layer, and I look like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. I'm 6'1", 220 lbs, 36 waist, and I normally wear a 46L jacket.
I'm not looking for the baggy ski-bum look, but I also don't want to look like a sausage.
Would XL or XXL work better in the Bombshell? Thanks!

205-215 6 even, Athletic similar waist. I do not like "baggy". I wear a Airblaster ninja suit and a Mammut mid layer, neither has much bulk to it. I went the XL and really like the fit. Hope that helps!

I'm 6'2"/180 l bs., lean/athletic build and I like my jackets a little snug. My waist and chest measurements put me right in between M and L - what should I go for?

I bought this jacket last summer because of the good review and the price point. I work at a ski resort in CO so I wear this jacket skiing at least three days a week. No matter how hard its snowing or how deep the snow is, my base layers are dry when I'm changing at the car at the end of the day. My friends that are wearing burton and oakley stuff come out soaked on deep days. Also, I know the fit is a concern for most. I am a pretty big guy, 6'2" about 215 and the XL is awesome for me. Hope this helps.
another great product

Stoic makes some of the best gear i own. the price is what keeps me buying. my absolutely only complaint is the thumb holes are way too tight im not sure who they made them for but wearing them under gloves will cause my thumbs to turn purple and hurt really bad after the first run. i hope the staff takes note of the wrist gaiter issue because if they fix that it will really be the perfect jacket.
Great Deal

Cut larger than most technical gear, but is lightweight, well-built, stretches, and is weatherproof. Seems high-end for the money.
Keeps me dry is the powder!

I own this jacket and aside from a zipper failing, have loved it. I've noticed that it's not beading water quite as well lately. Is there a product you recommend to restore the water repellency?
Nomis
Member since
first off you should try washing off the oil and dirt that has accumulated that reduces hydrophobic properties. Use only recommended sport washes which leave no residue and use no softeners. There are several brands of water repellent sprays and others to wash in available on the market. I use TX direct and it works well. Be sure you start with a clean jacket and allow enough time to dry
Good Jacket

Ok, so I've had this jacket on the mountain for 6 days of Colorado skiing. First impressions are great - I love the jacket. But again, I've only used it for 6 days, so I can't speak much for the long term durability. But so far, so good. No zipper trouble. No hood trouble. I skied in snowy, windy conditions with the hood over my helmet and had NO issues as long as I cinched up the drawcord a little.
The uninsulated version is a lightweight jacket, so be prepared to LAYER in cooler conditions... But this seems to be a great shell.
My preference would be to add a pocket on the inside, but that is just a preference. And the wrist gaiters are something that I don't really use (and they feel a little tight to me).
Oh, and this 3Layer Mechanical Stretch fabric is pretty cool.... Makes the jacket very comfortable.
I bought the Cayene jacket. I was hoping it would be a red hot color, but instead it is straight-up prison jumpsuit orange... But that's OK - I would've still chosen that color over the others. (I'm not crazy over the color choices here).
As far as sizing, I'm 6'0", 185-190lbs and in decent shape and bought the Large. Fits perfectly.

This is the 3rd Stoic Bombshell I've owned, and just like the others, it's amazing. Windproof, waterproof, plenty of pockets, athletic fit, adjustable hood, powder skirt that can snap onto Stoic's pants... what more could you ask for?
I've tried the insulated shell, and for me, I find it a little too puffy.
This is the perfect light weight shell for any conditions on the mountain.
I'm 6'4", 220lbs, and the Large fits me perfect.
