Stoic Hadron Down Vest - Men's

Agree with the other reviewers that said no to pockets. There are myriad vests our there with pockets. But few truly good ultralight vests at a price point that many of us can afford. If your hands are just sitting in your pockets most of the time then you probably don't need a 850 fill jacket that weighs 6oz.

Good sized arm holes. Feather light. Comfy. Warm. What more could i want? I think the best part is that because its so slim, it fits great under a shell. Perfect layer.

The vintage is more of a eggplant color. Just FYI. Took a bit of flak from the guys at first, then they got jealous.

This vest would very easily earn five stars in my book, however, there are no pockets for my hands, this is understandable considering its weight, however, I want me some hand pockets and would gladly have the vest weigh 2 oz more... cant attest to durability yet, as I've only had it a week or two, but I will update this review. Im 5'11" about 160-170lb and the medium fits great with room for a light hoody underneath.

The color is really nice, like a subdued purple kind of thing. It fits well under a shell and keeps you really warm skiing or walking/hiking. The lack of hand pockets is weird but hasn't bothered me.

The XL and XXL are 30 and 30.5” long for the center back length

What I like the most about this vest is the fit. It has a broader shoulder cut and slim waist which is best for my build compared to the rei and Patagonia vests I tried on. I am 5'11" 180lbs and the medium fits perfect. Very packable and weighs almost nothing. Pertex seems to be of good quality as I have had no down leak as of yet. Lack of pockets bother some people but I haven't noticed it honestly. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is the eggplant color with the yellow zippers takes some getting used to. The new models seem to have a better selection though.

Super warm. Super light. Super stuffable. Great layering piece, my only gripe is that it has not hand pockets, but when under shell it don't matter.

Had this out several times so far for our weekend prep-hikes and it's great. Very warm and VERY light. Mine is a large and weights in at 7oz. Temps have been in the 20s and can't wear it while actually hiking but before the hike It has kept me toasty with only a Long Sleeve T under it. IT perfroms exactly as advertised and exactly as I would expect from Stoic. These guys make great gear!!!

Love the smooth, soft fabric, light weight, and warmth this vest provides. It's now my favorite. Please consider offering some more colors and I'll purchase another.

I love everything about this vest. The thickness and weight are phenomenal. It's definitely a minimalist vest as there are few pockets. At the end of the day I had to return it because of the color. I found it too hard to wear. If there were more colors like black or blue this would be a 5 star and a keeper.

got the vintage/vintage. pretty crazy colors. i didnt care as long as it fit well and worked. it does.
6'2"180lbs thin build. Med size juuuust right. and its nice and long in the torso. only one pull on bottom to keep it simple.

didnt even think to check it for hand pockets. so far every time i put it on i zip it up and just want to slide my hands into some pockets....buuuut, no! on the upside to this, keeps it very slim and layerlike, which is its purpose so whatever. ill deal.

besides pockets/color(personal pref) i am very impressed.

only missing one thing for what it is. doublesided zipper for chesty pocket(since it seems to be made for stuffing itself, like my NFdiaz) little detail. other than that i can find nothing bad.

just have to wait and see for durability. but as long as i dont light it on fire i think itll be fine.
