"Get supreme comfort with a stream-lined waistband- a swath of seamless fabric smooths the zone between the waist and seat - that eliminates rubbing beneath a pack's hipbelt. Stretchy poly fabric (15 percent spandex) and a gusseted crotch provide killer freedom of movement."

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."
