Backcountry.com Stoic 2.0 Shell - Women's
Good jacket for the price, but a little small for layers

I saw this jacket on sale and it was definitely worth the money. I'm 5'7" and 140 lbs and I got a medium, which fits fine with a sweater or light fleece underneath, but not with a down vest, a thick fleece or multiple layers. I like the semi-stretchy fabric and it seems fairly water resistant so far but I wouldn't wear it for heavy rain. I like how it is designed and cut, quite flattering. I disagree with the previous reviewer about not wearing it with light layers or only for climbing; in fact I wouldn't wear it for that but that might be just me.

this jacket is beautiful and has a very nice shape to it, but unfortunately it fit a little too tight. even for the large, so I had to return it. (but returns are easy)
