Stoic hadron cuffs elastic

Velimir, I had the same problem. Skinny wrists but the elastic was too tight. I came up with a solution that worked.
I have a bunch of IKEA cups (that my kids used when they were little- now the grandkids use them) and I stuck one in each arm. I store the jacket this way.
That seemed to do the trick- I didn't use the Hadron for any extended trip early on so I don’t know how long the stretch lasted during use, but I have always stored the jacket with the cups in and now I leave them out a week or more and the elastic stays just where I want it.
I push the cup so the top is at the top of the elastic.
I doesn’t totally stretch out the elastic, it still retains some elasticity (just the right amount, and I’m picky about my wrists).

I do expect at some time the elastic will get old and wear out but that would happen regardless and I’ll finish the sleeves with a banding like my other thinner puffy’s. But that won’t be for a few years from now at the least.

I used to have a Hadron. At first I thought the cuffs were annoying. But I got used to them and after a while they didn't bother me. I also liked that they kept the down away from my hands.

I loved my Stoic Hadron as it was the best fitting and most comfortable jacket for the price BUT i couldn't get on with the wrist elastic. I have slim wrists and i could put up with it during the day time. The deal breaker was when i slept in it and woke with both hands numb from lack of circulation. Solution, I sent it back for a refund…

I do the cups solution as well. Just store it with the elastic stretched out and it'll loosen up with time. Mine is perfect now.

Hi,
thank you guys for the tips. I am def. keeping the jacket!

@Tad "I have a bunch of IKEA cups" lucky I have them to and thanks for a simple solution.
I started to cry thinking OMG I can't wear this beauty for the cuffs sake…silly I know:)..

Cheers

I have the new one, the brand is bc.com, not stoic. The cuffs are pretty good!
