  • Bio:

    www.mikekisow.com

    I live and work in Park City. I work a ton but still find time to get outside and try out all of the gear I buy from BC.com

    Skiing and Biking are my main outlets but caving, climbing, backpacking, SAR, and many other pursuits find their way into my life.

BC.com vs Stoic Event Fabric

Stoic eVent Stash Shell - Men's

May 1, 2010

The Stoic has larger squares. It's more of the "ripstop" look that I have on some OR and TNF puffy products. The original BC event fabric looked more cohesive. The Stoic feels more flimsy and feels lower quality. I am only making observations, not passing judgement.
