The Stoic Duke Gloves featured in Skiing Magazine's Gear Guide



The Stoic Duke Gloves featured in Skiing Magazine's Gear Guide: "A roughrider's best friend, this glove's exterior is 100 percent goat leather, so it'll stand up to abuse. A wrist drawstring and war fleece lining keep out cold. This DWR-treated glove works fine for digging quick snow pits, but it isn't suited for the soupiest days on the mountain."

The Stoic Hadron Jacket featured in the Outside Magazine's Buyer's Guide



The Stoic Hadron Jacket featured in Outside Buyer's Guide: "The elastic wrist gaiters on the 850-fill Hadron are a smart and simple way to seal in heat. Plus, without a zipper, the pullover is ultralight and layers well under a shell. It packs down to the size of a football."


Backpacker Gear Guide features the Stoic Microlith Softshell Pullover



The Stoic Microlith Softshell Pullover featured in the Backpacker Gear Guide: "Save money and weight. The Microlith is a shell and baselayer in one. Worn next to the skin, the stretchy, super-wicking shirt kept a tester's body temperature perfectly regulated while she was skinning uphill in a wide range of winter conditions."

Backpacker Gear Guide features the Stoic Luft 60 Anorak



The Stoic Luft 60 Anorak Jacket featured in Backpacker Magazine's Gear Guide: "The synthetic fill and Pertex Quantum shell fabric handled a wide range of temps and conditions, from spitting days in the 40s to blustery winds into the teens. It also weathered plenty of close scrapes with abrasive rock in canyon country."

The Stoic Stash jacket featured in Urban Climber: "Our testers rocked this shell from rainy belays to all-weather days in the mountains, and it came out a top performer for truly being a waterproof-breathale (and light) shell. Plus, it got plenty of compliments on the fit and style. Oh, and did we mentioned it's less that 200 clams?"

Women's Adventure Magazine features the Stoic Somnus 30 Sleeping Bag:
"Durable and lightweight, simply yet fully loaded - the Somnus is our new go-to for summer camping and backpacking. Compressible 850-fill down insulation in vertical torso baffles keeps you cozy, while a front center zipper prevents you from getting twisted up or trapped in the bag. It's made even better thanks to the foot water bottle pocket and Pertex Quantum shell fabric that adds extra durability."

The Stoic Welded Haul Duffel featured in Gripped Magazine


Gripped Magazine features the Stoic Welded Haul Duffel:
"Thanks to its welded seam construction, this duffle delivers a surprising level of weather protection when traveling in wet conditions. Stoic has wisely used a heavier bottom fabric for extra durability and the padded shoulder straps simplify carrying heavy loads. While the bag may not be completely waterproof (the zippers allow some water to enter), this is a good bag when traveling in wet weather."

The Stoic Thrive Glow Capris as one of the best Mother's Day Gifts according to SpryLiving.com

SpryLiving.com includes the Stoic Thrive Glow Capris as one of the Best Gift Ideas for Mother's Day:
"As a child, you found comfort by hugging on Mom's leg. But now you're all grown up, and hugging on Mom's leg would look just plain silly. You can still love on Mom's legs, though, with a pair of Stoic Thrive Glow capris. These fabulous fitness capris are from Stoic's new women's collection called Thrive. They're made of a compressive fabric that gives legs a firm and supportive yet unconstricting hug. And the wicking fabric keeps everything cool and dry. Plus the anti-stain, odor-fighting material keeps them looking and smelling great!

The Stoic Vaporshell in the Outside Buyer's Guide

The Outside Buyer's Guide shares their thoughts on Stoic's Vaporshell in the hard shells class for hiking: " BEST FOR: Minimalists pinching pennies. THE TEST: The Vaporshell is made with Stoic's proprietary polyurethane membrane, which testers found to be every bit as breathable as all the name-brand stuff. On a soaking weekend in the Cascades, the pit-zip-equipped Vaporshell never got damp inside, and rain still beaded off the exterior after two straight days of downpours. THE VERDICT: While it's not as full-featured as top-of-the-line jackets, it's tough to beat the Vaporshell's combo of performance and price."

The Stoic Somnus 15 sleeping bag in the Outside Buyer's Guide

The Outside Buyer's Guide shares its thoughts on the Stoic Somnus 15:
"BEST FOR: Side-sleepers, climbers, iconoclasts. THE TEST: Center-zip bags were designed for climbers, for the ease of threading a rope while zipped. But even non-climbing testers loved the simple entry and egress, and side-sleepers appreciated not grinding their hip bones on the zipper all night. Weight savings from the half-zip - combined with top-shelf 850-fill down and diaphanous Pertex Quantum fabric - kept Somnus's weight just under the two pound mark (the four minute mile of 15-degree-rated bags). And the zippered hot-water-bottle pouch to warm your feet is clever. THE VERDICT: A luxurious, incredibly light bag at a great price."

The Outside Buyer's Guide includes the Stoic Thrive Luminous Jacket


The Stoic Thrive Luminous jacket in the Outside Buyer's Guide 'Running Essentials':
At five ounces, Stoic's super-lightweight, see-through Thrive Luminous jacket has nice touches like hand-warmer pockets and reflective tape along the front zipper. Plus, the ovious: wind protection. The breathable, DWR-coated fabric also sheds water, which made a run through a quick downpour no problem."

The Stoic Arx XL 2 Tent in the Outside Buyer's Guide


The Outside Buyer's Guide includes the Stoic Arx XL 2 Tent:
"Two doors and vestibules? CHeck. Around four pounds? Check. Under $300? Check. The Arx XL hits two-person, three-season backpacking-tent benchmarks-and adds a lot of nice details. Testers liked the roomy, no drip vestibules and unique pole configuration, which increased vertical space. The mostly mesh body and the pop-up vent on the fly prevented condensation even on a sloppy Washington night, and the asymmetrical floor plan saves weight by reducing floors space."

Filled with highly compressible 800-fill down insulation, this sleeping bag features an easy-access center-oriented zip that's easy to find in the dark, a zippered pocket in the footbox for hot water bottles and vertical torso baffles that keeps the down insulation shifting, even if you sleep on your side."

The Stoic Wraith Jacket featured in Runner's World Magazine's "Rain Jackets that Shine":
"The men's only Stoic Wraith Jacket packs a lot of punch into 2.5 ounces. It kept one tester dry during a soggy Seattle Marathon.

The Stoic Welded Haul Duffel Makes into Climbing Magazine's Gear Guide

Climbing Magazine features the Stoic Welded Haul Duffel:
"Durable, spacious, and simple - this duffel is well suited to road tripping and plane flights alike. One tester packed all his clothing for a three-week bouldering trip in the size large (85L), plus some extras, and praised the wide-opening access for bulky items. The body of the duffel is soft, allowing the bag to be packed easily into a car, and "in spite of the rubbery outside, this duffel even functioned well as a pillow when filled with soft items."

Gear.com Review - Stoic Wraith Shell

Gear.com explains: "The Stoic Wraith Shell is the shell that's almost not there. Coming in at a mere 2.5 ounces it literally is almost not there. It is the perfect "emergency" or back up jacket to have. It packs down super small, small enough to easily fit in your product. When it's in your pocket you hardly notice that it's there. It is the ideal jacket to cut the wind or shed a light rain. While it's not fully waterproof it is DWR coated and will offer protection from light precipitation."
