Arc'teryx Gamma SV Jacket - Women's
Arc’teryx takes their own approach to technical outerwear and climbing gear. Instead of imitating existing designs, Arc’teryx innovates with their own solutions. Narrow seam taping, laminated pockets, welding instead of sewing, and revolutionary WaterTight zippers are hallmarks of this Canadian company. Their distinctive designs won’t be found on the backs of every rock-jock or snow-bro, only on those adventurers that know true quality when they see it.

Gamma SV Jacket: A hit!   09-30-04
Johann (5): rating
Bought this for my wife, is one of her favorite jackets to wear. To a workout, on the slopes, it is one of her mainstays. Form fitting and actually fits a petite woman (XS) nicely as does the Patagonia R4, which is tapered as well. Flattering and doesn't hang like a sack........

Primo Jacket   12-28-04
moooingcow (14): rating
This jacket is the nicest jacket I have ever owned. It is a very flattering cut that allows movement when needed. It is a hardy softshell that is very well made. It is such a wonderful jacket that I purchased 2 more. I was afraid that Arc'teryx would not make this style next year. I know they are pricey but I am sure all of my jackets will last a very long time. Not only do they look very nice, they are very comfy. I use them for backpacking, hiking, and just going around town. Worth every penny!

Bring it on!   10-03-05
cwgrl911 (3): rating
I just bought this jacket and it kicked butt in some nasty weather. It is worth every penny of its price. I was up at Mammoth Lakes, CA and this jacket stood up to temps in the low 20s and winds that were howling at 40mph-plus. The wind couldn't touch me—I felt invisible to the weather. With a long-sleeve shirt underneath this, I was good to go on the long 4 mile trek to the top of Mammoth Mountain, at 11,000ft. The winds were blowing so hard that it was difficult to stand up and walk a straight line. But was I cold? Nope. Great jacket, a bit pricey but worth every single cent. I'm considering buying another one. BTW, I love the lifetime warranty!!

Wow!   04-12-07
Travel Mom (4): rating
I've had this jacket for a month now and am really loving it. I also own the Gamma MX - so I can give a comparison. The SV is slightly thicker (probably the fleece) than the MX. Both block wind and insulate well. The SV only has two pockets and they're located higher up. If you like to walk/stand with your hands in your pockets, you would be better off buying the MX. The location of pockets is the biggest difference between the two. Both are well tailored with a flattering cut. I am 5'6", 130 lbs, and am a C/D cup - the medium fits me perfectly. The small is snug across the chest. The quality of these soft shells is far superior to anything else. I also bought the vest - look for my review on that.

Great look, but could breathe better...   11-19-05
Anonymous: rating
After going on a backcountry ski trip where the majority of people were wearing softshells, I must say I get cold easily. I am not that warm in the jacket when inactive, and find it doesn't breathe all that well when ski-hiking with a pack on. My friends say it's because of the fabric, that the Schoeller fabrics breathe better. Love the look and fit though. For my purposes a hood would be useful too.

FANTASTIC ALL ROUND JACKET   10-03-08
Jellyb (2): rating
I have had these jackets for years. I can not say enough about them....they are great for spring/fall, under shell jackets in winter and even in the summer (camping in the mountains). They wash and wear FANTASTIC!!!

Bought this for my wife.   11-02-07
kster (2): rating
Since I don't wear the jacket, I can't comment too much on the garment itself, but I'll do the best I can. I bought my wife the red color in XS (she's about 5'3" and 112 pounds). She really likes the color and tight fit of the jacket. My wife does wear this a lot, mainly because it's warm and doesn't have too much bulk (it's thin and snug-fitting). It's a great jacket for wearing when going out casually on a chilly night.

Fantastic!   03-06-07
diane (5): rating
I've always thought a garment like this wouldn't keep me warm enough, but boy was I wrong. This is the perfect spring jacket, and it can also double as an under layer for my Arc'teryx stingray jacket. It's amazingly comfortable, has surprisingly roomy pockets, and it looks terrific. I couldn't be happier.

my new favorite active jacket   02-15-07
RTW (2): rating
Who would have thought that a jacket this thin could stand up to such cold temperatures? This jacket has taken me through cross-country skiing in close to 0F temperatures with just a baselayer, hat and scarf/gaiter; in 25F, it would probably work fine with just a T-shirt. That's amazing for someone who generally runs cold. It's also as windproof as advertised, breathable, and stretchy enough to totally move with you. I do get cold standing still, but this jacket is really meant to be used on the go. My one gripe is that I feel the fit doesn't quite work on me, as it seems a bit larger in the chest/shoulders than I'm used to and bunches up in a strange way in those areas. But perhaps I'm the only one who notices -- I've gotten compliments on how flattering the fit is from very picky female friends.

The best softshell jacket goes to...Gamma   02-04-07
Anonymous: rating
The best jacket. One lady flattered me with this jacket, she was loaded with Mountain Hardwear, REI. I never got praised for my clothes in my long life. No flaw in details, very fit. (not like easyrider which has this huge extra portion on shoulder area and you will look fakely masculine).

Arc'teryx Gamma SV is very versatile....   02-02-07
K Johnson (1): rating
The Gamma SV has proven to be very versatile, whether I'm hiking in Colorado or going to the grocery. It's lightweight design allows it to be worn over almost anything without adding bulk. It launders great and provides and added layer of protectoin/warmth that is needed for the extreme temperature swings in Colorado.

Awesome   01-14-07
Susanna (2): rating
Bought this jacket back in October with the anticipation of some cold weather trips. The jacket has held up absolutely perfect. Pockets are deep, zippers easy accessible. The fit is right the material is not bulky which leaves you with lots of movement-the sleeves are the right length, and width. Perfect for any weather!And it looks really good. Great buy!

Gamma SV Jacket   12-28-06
outdoorchick (1): rating
My husband bought this jacket for me and insisted I keep it, even though I didn't need it. Now, this is all I wear! We live in a moderate climate (NC) so I can really wear this jacket all year. It is warm, comfortable, flexible, and fitted to a woman's shape. This is the best all-purpose jacket I have ever owned!

bad to the bone   12-21-06
pixigrlhike (1): rating
I have been wanting an Arc' teryx jacket for some time now and was finally able to afford one because of the discontinued color on your website. This jacket is perfect and super flattering! When I first put it on, my husband said "you could model that thing" You girls will love it! It's also very windproof and allows a lot of flexibility in your movement.

awesome jacket   12-03-06
Alison king (3): rating
What's amazing about this jacket is that it fits and flatters a range of body shapes. It is certainly worth investing. I find the small size fits a size 6 instead of 4-6. It is loose on me who is 5'4 and 120 lb.

So good I bought two.   09-24-06
good day (1): rating
I bought my first Gamma SV 4 years ago and I've worn it almost every day since. It picked up a smell, kind of a cross between body funk and Chinese food, and I just couldn't get rid of it (it went through MANY washes). So I bought a new one. I think I'll give my old one to a friend who lives in a barn. I don't think she'll notice the smell. It's still a great jacket.

Hooray for soft shells   08-05-06
Smoke tree (1): rating
It's August so I haven't had a chance to really test it out yet, but I have high hopes. The Gamma SV's fit is perfect (and flattering), and it feels warm and cozy... we'll see how it does in February.

gumby (1): rating
I absolutely love this jacket! It's especially great for camping and hiking, and it's now what I reach for when I'm just hanging out at home and get cold. I can tell it's going to last me a long time, and get a lot of use.

Pricey, but you know you get quality   06-18-06
Bay Area inhabitant (1): rating
I have friends who work in the outdoor gear industry, who recommend The North Face for mid-range, but if you really want superior material and manufacturing (and don't mind paying the hefty price tag), then Arc'Teryx is the way to go. Love the jacket, it's quite close fitting so if you want to bulk layer, you might consider ordering a size up. If I had to change one thing, though, it would be to make the sleeves wider. The cuffs come in quite tight at the wrist, making it impossible to pull up sleeves and sometimes feel weird. I'm sure it's a wind-protection thing, but still not crazy about the cuffs. Otherwise, it's great!

Wow - What a deal!   05-11-06
jbs (4): rating
This is my first Arc'teryx purchase. My husband loves their stuff, but I've been hesitant because of the price. This was an amazing price, and now I'm hooked on their stuff. Lots of room in the upper arm area, so if you're wearing layers, you won't feel all tight. Interesting material, kept me warm and dry in an afternoon of high winds and light rain. For hours in a downpour, I wouldn't recommend it, but for a bit of rain, you're good to go!

Joyce (5): rating
I love this jacket! I give it a 5 stars even though I never planned to pay this much for a soft shell. But trust me, it is worth it! I will buy it again. It fits me perfectly...detail cutting, great fabric, and curves that makes me look great. Highly recommended!

All round best jacket   09-22-03
Angie McArthur (58): rating
Great jacket that is outstanding in fit and function. Warmth and dryness without all the bulk. If traveling- it's the perfect all occasion/all sport jacket- I went from sailing in the north sea to the Bolshoi Ballet!

good quality   09-09-06
becnewhouse (1): rating
The jacket was obviously great quality and I really wanted to keep it. However, I felt that I would always be annoyed at how tight the jacket was around the wrists. Other than that, it was a great jacket, although I don't think I am going to buy more Arc’teryx shells for that reason.

gamma sv jacket   11-13-05
Anonymous: rating
Great jacket. Warm, windproof, comfortable. It was great for fall biking, kept me warm and kept wind out. It also washes nicely and dries super quick. If it goes on sale I would buy another. My only complaint would be it does not have a two way zipper for venting. Great alone for cold weather aerobic activity or layered under a shell.

Arc'teryx gamma sv jacket   11-12-05
Anonymous: rating
This jacket is so comfortable and very windproof. My only complaint is I wish the zipper was two way for venting. It looks very stylish and fits my body great. It has been a little too warm for jogging in fall weather, but it will be great for winter jogging. I wore it bike riding on a cool day and it was perfect keeping wind out and warmth in. If it is on sale, I would but another color. Also, it dries amazingly fast.
