It was just a matter of time before the clever crew at launched its brand of element-tested technical clothing. The new Stoic line of premium gear emerged at the online-only retail outlet this winter and has proved to be a functional addition to the outerwear world. The Bombshell Jacket (MSRP: $260) serves as an example of the thought that has gone into the outerwear portion of the line that includes jackets, pants and gloves for men and women. It’s designed with a slightly stretchy, proprietary material with fully welded seams to increase “breathability” over traditional tape-seamed shells. Mesh- backed underarm vents relieve excess body heat while durable, three-layer hydrophobic fabric and an adjustable hood offer shelter from the storm. Thumb-holed hand gaiters complement an ergonomic fit, and the internal pocket includes a headphone port. The powder skirt zips out when the weather is on your side.
