Solid Jacket

Stoic Welder Hi Softshell Jacket - Men's

Stoic Welder Hi Softshell Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 January 8, 2010

Having tried some other backcountry.com shells in the past (which the new Stoic label is) you will have to go a size up from what you are used to. I normally go with an XL, I'm 6'2" 235 athletic build with broad shoulders and bigger arms and I would have had no chance in an XL, so I went with the XXL.I got the jacket and like it a lot, very comfortable (the monkey phur-ish lining is very soft), it looks even better in person and generally I like the fit. However, the arms are fairly narrow, minus a star for that. The added fleece lining of the jacket definitely takes the place of the light mid-layer I would wear with just a shell. MAJOR TIP - I was ready to return this jacket b/c with my merino layers the fleece liner was really grabby and killed my range of motion, I just felt stiff. Before I gave up I threw on a smooth polyester wicking layer as the last layer before the jacket. It made all the difference in the world. Its a solid jacket now.I can't speak to the weather resistance yet. The hood will only fit a low profile helmet. I wear a Bern hard hat in an XL, anything bigger won't fit.I will update my review after I get a few sessions in it

Stoic Welder Hi Softshell Jacket - Men's

December 15, 2009

I am 6'2" 235 46-47" chest, I was looking for a more athletic fit, but even with that in mind went with the XXL. If I were only wearing t-shirts under an XL I could get away with it (Had the old welder in XL), but much anything beyond that I think you'd start to feel restricted in your movement if you have remotely muscular shoulders. the length of the sleeves and jacket are good, I'd bet into the 6'5" range.

Backcountry.com Shift Welder Hoody - Men's

October 27, 2009

I'm 6'2" 240, wear a 46L jacket and this fits very well in an XL with a base layer, mid layer, and a mid weight fleece. If you want it to be loose fitting fitting you'd need a XXL. But as a shell with a more technical fit I think the XL is just right. To give a comparison I think its just slightly more athletic cut or V-shaped than a TNF Apex or the BC Shift Elelment. I have a 38" waste and have a little extra padding and am fine. So I'd think, unless you have a gut you should be okay.

Size Up

Backcountry.com Stoic eVent Shell - Men's

Backcountry.com Stoic eVent Shell - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 October 27, 2009

The jacket would have been an ok fit if I wasn't going to layer under it. However, I was planning on using this for a ski shell. I am 6'2 235", I wear a 46L jacket. The XL was just too tight across the shoulders and back if i reached forward like i would when polling along on skis. I put it on with a smartwool baselayer, smartwool mid weight, and an R2 fleece. I was buying it for a cold weather shell as much of for wet weather.

To put the fit in perspective, I have a BC shift element in an XL (which fits similar to a TNF Apex) that fits well with the layers. The Stoic eVent is a good deal more slim cut than the shift, length was fine.

The only complaints I have is sizing, I liked the slim fit otherwise. The jacket was light weight yet definitely tough enough for skiing in the woods. I liked the cayenne color. I had to return it, but if I could have gotten a XXL in the blue or the Cayenne I'd have been stoked.
