I purchased this jacket for a trek I'm doing this winter. This jacket is very thin--I would not consider it outerwear. It is a fall jacket at best. I'm sure it would be waterproof, but as far as warmth, substandard. Additionally, the jacket was very fitted at the waist, then flared out at the hips for a curvy silhouette. I'm 5'4, 130lbs and the small fit me very snug (again, not like an outer-layer jacket). I sent it back.
This jacket is great
I ordered a different Stoic softshell which arrived with a torn seam. Since I was travelling through Salt Lake I took it back to Backcountry in person and exchanged it for the Monolith. I am so happy I did. I was meeting friends for an early morning, cold, and windy run. This was the perfect jacket - it saved me. It fits well, slightly tapered but not tight. I wore it over a base layer and a light shirt. I didn't notice I had on another layer even with the Monolith. It blocked wind and I never was too hot even on the uphills (the temperature was about 17). I got a small. I am 5'6" 123lbs. It's perfect.
Is the material of the Monolith the same...
Is the material of the Monolith the same as that of the Welder jacket?
Slightly different softshell material but similar in water resistance and breathability. They both have the same fleece lining. The main differences are the hood, cuff gaiters and additional chest pocket on the Welder. If you plan on skiing powder, the Welder might be the better option.
Thank you Retail Therapy.
Is the Monolith softshell material lighter than that of the Welder?
