Stoic Breaker Fleece Hooded Jacket - Women's

Got this on SAC a while back. I got both the small and medium since reviews mentioned it ran big. I am a pretty solid 8/34C, and the medium fit (small was tight across the chest). The purple is fabulous. The arms are long (I shortened them by 2 inches, loosing the thumb loops). I didn't buy this for technical use, but casual about town and at home.

I did notice a seem coming undone at the bottom after maybe 2 weeks of casual use. I got out the thread and needle and fixed it up. Obviously, stoic doesn't have all the 'fashion' stitching of brands like MH or TNF, but I was suprised at how quickly the jacket needed mending. I hope this does not bode ill for the future of this jacket and other stoic garments I own!

I bought this for my gf for xmas and after several days it has lost its glow. The left side hood-adjusting-bungee snapped when she tried to adjust the hood. Also, i had my shell on top of her jacket in the car for a few hours and the velcro from my jacket tore up the seams and materrial of her stoic and it looks really worn in some spots, especially the seams (1 week old!). Besides that, it is not "toasty warm" as described; its not warm at all. If she had one main complaint about this jacket, it is that it does not keep you warm even in cool temps 50F.

She loves the color, but has declared it impractical. Returning to BC in t-minus 3, 2, 1.

I got this in Sugilite/Ceramic and I get so many compliments on the fit and color. I'm 5'1" , 120 pounds, and the Small fits perfectly everywhere (I didn't have a problem with the shoulders like others have). This stands up well to wind and is great in light rain. The waist cinches and there is a little hidden chest pocket on the inside. This is surprisingly warm for a 200 weight and I'm absolutely in love.

This Stoic jacket is much more of a fleece hoodie than anything, but met my expectations. It is my favorite winter-hiking mid layer, and also my favorite climbing hoodie & is good for really cold weather running. Its packable and light and cozy... keeps you warm even when your base layer is damp. It also serves as great insulation under a shell; does not impede movement.

I ordered this jacket after happily owning 2 powerstretch fleece hoodies. So far this hoodie does offer more wind resistance than regular power stretch fleece. It also seems to have a bit more rigidity to it, but is still stretchy enough to move around.

The fit is average for outdoor clothes, and runs a little bigger than my Stoic tees (Mediums - loose fit). I am 5'4" athletic build (bigger shoulders/arms, small waist/mid section, have hips), and am usually a small in most tops, and this fits perfectly in a size small- I can layer under it (a longsleeve flannel shirt) - and it doesn't feel/look bad. It is not at all bulky, rather form-fitting and is long enough (hits below hip, about mid-butt). Also, there is a sweet inside pocket.

For the down side, as previously mentioned - Velcro will snag this hoodie, but I can say that about all of my powerstretch fleeces. Also, it is not a shell - so it wont really act like one.

I was expecting the color to be blinding (ceramic), but it is a more subdued turquoise, with chartreuse accents. I really do love it - fun & different pallet of colors.

I would live in this thing if I could.

Just got this. Love the style. Love the quality. Totally rocks

I love this jacket, is warm, the material is amazing, is perfect for layering, I used it for skiing and with a water proof jacket on top and I never felt cold. The only thing is that it runs a little bit big but not that much that you would look shaggy.

I actually have a couple of these. They are awesome. Great Polar tec material: warm, cuts wind and has a DWR finish which helps shed water. Material has a hard face so won't snag like some other fleece pieces. It will last you a long time.
