Backcountry.com Stoic eVent Shell - Men's - 2008 BCS

Item # BCC0177

Most waterproof and windproof fabrics are great—until they turn the skin track into a stifling sauna. The extremely breathable Backcountry.com Men’s Stoic eVent Shell stands up to Mother Nature and expels sweaty funk like a beer-binging underclassman. If there’s one thing the Stoic eVent Shell knows about the backcountry, it’s that changing conditions are constant—fortunately, eVent fabric knows how to maintain a consistent temperature. Like a saffron robe to a Buddhist monk, the Stoic eVent Shell is the habit of the true backcountry disciple—this highly-breathable, totally bombproof shell is all about the pilgrimage. The ergonomic 20-panel design offers a nearly customized fit--roomy enough to layer, minus the fears of drowning. Pull up the fully-adjustable, helmet-compatible hood for shelter when the wind howls, and forget about Underarm zips when the sun shows its face—eVent is already breathing a couple steps ahead of you. Simple, lightweight, and easily stowable, the Stoic Shell owns anything from high-alpine ascents to spring corn sessions. Not to mention its 14oz weight, which has your summer backpacking shell pissing its non-existent pants.

Bottom Line:

So are there pitzips? I have a MH typhoon and am looking for something more durable, like a snowboarding jacket. Is the breathability enough to make up for them even during highly aerobic activites and windproofing enough for less aerobic activies as well (such as waiting for the bus?).
