By Ranked #57 - Men's Synthetic Insulation Jackets November 5, 2009

Would I be correct in assuming that Stoic brand products have the same fit as backcountry.com's stoic line considering the origin? I own a medium in a BC stoic 2.0 shell + it fits great.
Also, would anyone care to comment on the either the "trashbag" look/lack there of of this material or how the insulation stacks up against PrimaLoft (specifically Mtn Hardware's compressor PL)? thanks

sizing - yes similar sizing to the stoic shell, although this layer is a little more snug to fit under jackets. if you want to fit over a jacket, after topping out on a backcountry climb, go up a size.

the shell is a 15d nylon taffeta. the slight sheen comes from a calendaring process making it more wind resistant, and down proof for our other jackets, but not soft next to skin. the synthetic insulation is an optimum synthetic insulation, using recycled polyester that is processed into a microfiber. great insulation, great compressibility.
