Description of Arc'teryx Gamma MX Hooded Jacket - Men's: |
|
The Arc'teryx Men's Gamma MX Hoody Jacket is a hooded version of the award-winning Gamma MX. Signature Arc'teryx innovations are featured throughout, including gusseted underarms that eliminate bulk and provide unparalleled freedom of movement while you're climbing or riding. The MX Jacket's Storm Hood is now helmet compatible, so your noggin is safe and warm at the same time. Another improvement is the longer body, which blocks drafts and keeps you warmer. The Gamma MX is highly water resistant and extremely breathable. A dialed fit and ultimate versatility have lead the Gamma series to be recognized, through receiving an Apex award for design, as a pioneer in softshell design. *Available for US shipment only.
Bottom Line: Wintertime in the mountains? The Gamma MX Hoody Jacket can take whatever you throw at it.

| Arc'teryx becomes another TNF 03-20-08 |
Anonymous (7):  |
| The Gamma series used to be one of the best softshells jackets around. Until Arc'teryx in their crafty acts decided to move production to China (surprise, surprise?). They not only brought the overrall quality of this jacket down but by just looking at it, it just seems another piece of TNF branded jacket. The sewing and stitching lines are not as well done as before and from already comparing several different gammas I can tell that many of them don't have the quality consistency as before. The outer shell is softer and much more prone to snagging than the older models too. Thankfully, Arc'teryx didn't change one thing about this jacket. The Price. For that price either Arc'teryx brings production back to Canada or SIGNIFICANTLY lower the price to reflect their much lower production costs. |

| Gamma MX hoody jacket 04-20-07 |
Anonymous:  |
| I bought this jacket because of its great reviews. I have to say that I have not been disappointed. However, the price tag is a little over the top. I paid full retail for the green color because it is unique and does look much better than any other jacket I have ever seen. I do get a lot of compliments on the color.
Likes: form fitting, flexible and soft material, good water resistance (not waterproof), decent breathability (could be better), good tail coverage, nice hood with ability to tailor fit with the drawstring cord.
Dislikes: price tag, could breath better if you had some zip vents under the armpits, the left arm pocket is virtually useless due to its small size and the zipper is difficult to open unless your are holding down the arm cuff, the napolean chest pockets do not accommodate bulky items items due to the trim fit of the jacket against the chest.
Overall: was mostly an impulse buy, but don't regret it, as it will be my best outdoor jacket and get lots of use. |

| I've had this jacket for more than three years now. It bothers me that it is always listed as highly water resistant because it's pretty far from it. Rain will bead off during the first month or less but anyone caught in a lasting shower will know that it seeps through pretty fast. I bought it with intentions of replacing my GoreTex on day trips ski mountaineering and touring but because you can't rely on it as your only shell, I ended up carrying my Goretex with me anyway. Using it on the climb up it retains sweat from your body and can become quite wet. When on exposed ridges or at the summmit and the wind starts to pick up, the jacket chills you down quite fast since it is not entirely windproof, especially if a little wet. Same goes for resort skiing if you're pushing your body or get wet from the snow. Bone chilling if it gets wet. Hence I stopped using it for skiing. for climbing it is much better. Amazing abrasion resistance and windproof enough to climb in most conditions. Quality is good and there is only real sign of wear on the wrists and a couple of seams on one arm. The plastic chin guard is not so good as it curled up during the first few months and never really stays in place. The fit is athletic and XL fits me perfectly, although it could be slimmer(although I suspect they make it baggier in the XL). I'm 6'5 and 90 kg's whatever that is in pounds. Oh, and the hood of course is amazing. Fits perfectly with or without helmet. |
