Backcountry.com Stoic 2.0 Shell - Men's
Nice

Ranked #1857 - Men's Technical Shells
July 25, 2009
I have yet to get a chance to really test this jacket, but wanted to re-iterate what several others have said: Like all the other Backcountry brand stuff I've seen, this has an "athletic" fit. For another point of reference, I'm 5'8", 155, and I like the fit of the medium. It's not too big, but has room for a fleece layer. The cut also allows good freedom of movement (in addition to the slight stretch), and the construction looks top notch. This is a nice "mid-weight" shell, in my opinion... not as heavy as a true winter shell (and no powder skirt, etc), but definitely not a "fast and light" rain jacket either (but certainly feels more durable). The fabric is comfortable to the touch.
