About how stretch is this jacket? As much as the Primaloft Siphon?

Not sure which Siphon you're referring to, but the stretch in the Stoic 2.0 is pretty minimal; about 2" of stretch across the shoulders under reasonable tension. Definitely enough to enhance mobility, but not stretchy like a fleece or a one-ply stretch-woven softshell. It is essentially a hardshell that "flexes" throughout to prevent that awful binding feeling when you move around.
