Perks
The Gamma MX Hoody is very flexible, complimenting the tailored lines that provide a sleek fit. You do not have to worry about snagging tools or the jacket's girth getting in the way of what you need to do. It moves with you. Even with the hood over your helmet, the fit remains comfortable.
Sacrifices
If you need extra warmth, the Gamma MX Hoody, while toasty, does not replace your belay jacket. It is more of a piece to wear during warmer or active pursuits than during stationary activities (like belaying) in colder temperatures.
Bottom Line
A versatile and cozy softshell jacket that rises to the occasion in colder temperatures for active pursuits. Superior construction and all-around smart, technical manufacturing justify the Arc'teryx price tag.
