Fit vs. '09 Stoic 2.0 version
Can anyone tell me for certain if this version is cut/fits roomier than the '09 Stoic 2.0 version (the last version before they created the separate Stoic brand)? I've been trying to get a straight answer to this to no avail - some of the comments here clearly suggest that it is roomier, but I chatted with a BC agent who told me that it is cut/fits exactly the same.
I currently have the '09 Stoic 2.0 in a large, and while it fits perfectly with a thin midlayer, anything more than 100g fleece and it's too tight around the shoulders and arm pits, so I'm debating between getting this version in the same size L or going up to the XL so that I can layer more underneath and use the jacket during the winter. I'm 6'0, 175lbs with an athletic moderately muscular build (31 waist, 42-43 chest) and usually wear a M in Patagonia and Arc'Teryx and L or XL in Mountain Hardwear depending on the cut. Thanks.

I also have the Stoic 2.0 and last year's Bombshell and the fit is completely different. I haven't tried this year's Bombshell, but am assuming it is the same as last year's in terms of fit. The Bombshell is much roomier than the Stoic 2.0. I had to wear an XXL in the Stoic 2.0 to be able to fit a decent amount of layers and not have it pinch at the shoulders and armpits. In the Bombshell, I wear a L and still have room for layering (6'3", 195 lbs). Based on your size, I would say that you would be comfortable in a M. See my photo which compares the two jackets mentioned (Bombshell is on top of the Stoic 2.0). As you can see, not a whole lot of difference for an XXL and a L.
