Stoic Bombshell Jacket - Men's
Great Jacket, Bad Zipper

Ranked #422 - Men's Technical Shells
November 4, 2011
Pros:
The jacket on the whole is grand. Super-water proof through two seasons. Keeps me warm down to the teens (I have the insulated version). Vents relatively well. Plenty of Pockets. Looks cool. Powder skirt is nice, and it's removable.
Cons:
THE ZIPPERS. All the zippers on this jacket seem kinda puny. The main zipper on my jacket is beginning to unravel (specifically, the stitches holding the teeth together), which if it continues will render this jacket completely useless after only two years! This is a difficult fix that could've been avoided had Stoic simply used more robust zippers. I'm sure the other zippers on this jacket will develop similar problems as I use them more and more.
