Description of Arc'teryx Gamma SV Jacket - Women's:
The Arc'teryx Women's Gamma SV Jacket provides the weather resistance you need for less-than-ideal days in the mountains and top-notch breathability to keep you from overheating. Polartec Power Shield fabric blocks all wind and holds off light rain and snow with a stretch-woven shell and DWR finish. Arc'teryx gave the Gamma SV Jacket two high hand pockets that can be accessed even when you wear a climbing harness or backpack.
Bottom Line: Move fast and free through the mountains while the Arc'teryx Gamma SV Jacket keeps you dry and comfortable.
Gamma SV women's jacket was the best purchase I've made in outdoor apparel in a long time, hands down! It's surprisingly warm and blocks wind like you wouldn't beileve. I love the tight wrist cuffs, great feature. It also fits like it was made for me. Highly recommended!

The Gamma SV is an ideal jacket for hiking and backpacking. In warmer weather it can be used as an outer layer and in the cold a mid-layer. I also use the jacket on winter ascents as an outer layer; perfect for cold temps. It fits perfectly and is unencumbered by pit zips, which are not necessary. Pockets are high on the jacket for easy access when wearing a pack. It's stretchiness is great for mobility and it's always kept me dry, even in inclement weather. I hike year round in the mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire and find this jacket indispensable.
an almost perfect jacket. great for hiking, a wonderful mid-layer to go under a shell or parka. the only problem-and this seems to be an Arc'Teryx issue in general-is that for a D-cup the fit is snug and does not permit layering very easily. Going up to a size M is not ideal, as the sleeves end up too big. oh well, too bad arc'teryx doesn't have a Beyond Fleece-type setup for custom jackets. It is a lovely jacket, though.
