I love this coat and get many compliments. As great as the coat is, it's not as great as Back Country's customer service. The jacket arrived and fit well but after a couple of days, a hole opened up in the pocket. I called customer service and they immediately processed a return and shipped a new one out which I had in two days. No hassle, no issues. If only more companies valued customer service as much as this one does.

After reading the other reviews, i purchased a large, to leave room for layering. I am 5'8", 160 lbs, 38C. This jacket did NOT run small. It's huge; all over, but especially in the hips. The waist stitching is quite high on my long waist. The fabric is amazing, the quality is great. It is a gorgeous jacket, but i'm not sure even in a Med, the proportions will be right. Darn!

I normally buy The North Face jackets but thought I would try backcountrys Stoic brand. The jacket is made beautifully. The first day it arrived, we had an ice storm and the very lightweight jacket was so much warmer than I expected. The color is so pretty and rich looking. Very impressed. I’ll definitely buy more Stoic products.

I searched and searched for a longer coat that I could wear with leggings and skinny jeans, yet would still have some style to it and be warm. I love this coat! I live in Minnesota, where it can get really cold. While this coat is really light, it actually is quite warm and has a great hood. With the style around the waist, it looks form-fitting and not frumpy. I think it runs true to size; some people may consider that small sizing, but for a petite woman, I love that I could find something online that would fit well and not leave lots of gaps. I really like that it features thumbholes and a nice hood, plus a fun dark fuchsia color on the inside of the coat. I am very pleased with my purchase!

I was excited to love this coat except...it doesn't fit. I bought the same size as the Stoic Kenai purchased last year. This style is at least 2 inches narrower in the bust than that and of the reversible vest (that also came today, which I love!)
Disappointed to have to return it.
UPDATE: Bryce in Customer Service was amazingly accommodating. I measured the Med I received and found it to actually be a SML cut. He offered a free return shipping label and processed a new order right away. The second MED was markedly better but still small. :(

I’ve worn it once on a very windy low 40s day (on the water) and it was so warm. The hood isn’t extra large and blocked the wind really well. I bought a small (sized down). I’ve lost two of the little pocket ties on the zippers.
Would love to get another set if they’re available.

I normally wear a size 10 top and the large was too small.
