Backpacker Magazine Tests A Bombshell

Posted by Craig Randall on February 4, 2010

This morning Backpacker.com posted a review of the Stoic “Bombshell” – in summary, it’s a $259 winter thrasher with heaps of style.

But don’t take our word for it, head over to Backpacker and read Ted Alvarez’ thorough report on this jacket. To read reviews from Backcountry.com’s Community…go here.

Here’s a taste:

The Bombshell is built from a stretchy, 3-layer proprietary waterproof/breathable fabric, and while it feels thick, it’s actually relatively light for a fully weatherproof winter shell. At 1.75 lbs., it won’t double as a summer backpacking jacket, but you’ll appreciate the extra armor in a winter gale. When a surprise blizzard blasted Steamboat’s frontcountry, the Bombshell’s 20K-rated waterproofing shed snow, meltwater streaming off a lift, and even slush sprayed from a passing car without letting in a drop. Fully welded seams make for some of the most leakproof but easy-moving zippers I’ve used.
