How does this compare the the Gamma MX Hoody?

The fabrics are quite different as well as the cuts and pocket configuration. The Gamma LT uses Burly double weave compared to the GammaMX FORTIUS 2 fabric.. Burly face fabric is tougher (not as soft) and is also more abrasion resistant and does not have any fleece backer (no insulating properties per se). Fortius is softer and has more loft, it is supposed to breathe better but in the real world I have not noticed much of a difference between the two in terms of breathability. They both shed light drizzle but will eventually let water through as there is no membrane. The MX has more pockets which I find makes it more versatile, and is also cut a tad shorter in the torso.
Both are great jackets, I prefer to use the MX during the spring, fall and winter (mid layer and outer layer) where as the LT during the spring, summer and fall (specifically as an outer layer)

This jacket is exactly what I was after. It's simple, has clean lines, and fits great over my Atom SV. Zippers have smooth action, which is good when using gloves. No external chest pockets, and I haven't tried this jacket with a pack on, so it's hard to say if stuff will be accessible. Material feels pretty sturdy. I wear a large, and I think it fits true to size.

How much lighter/colder is this jacket...

How much lighter/colder is this jacket compared to the Venta SV?
I'm looking to replace an old and beloved Backcountry Welder jacket and I'm deciding between:

Arc'teryx Gamma LT
Arc'Teryx Venta SV
The North Face Alpine Project
Marmot ROM
Stoic Welder Lo

How would this jacket shape up against those?
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply Paul -- very helpful to know that the Gamma LT isn't insulating. I also think that at ~20oz, I'd expect some more insulation...
I'm looking for a good "do-everything-when-its-not-downpouring" type of jacket. I used my old softshell for everything from walking around town on both chilly and well-below freezing days, to backpacking and backcountry tours, to climbing and mountaineering.
I'm really leaning towards the Venta SV because its a similar weight/insulation to my old jacket, plus it has pitzips. I'm trying to find a cheaper alternative though, and hopefully something helmet compatible. In any case the ROM nor the Venta SV are available in my size (S) at the moment so I'll be waiting/searching in the meantime!
Anyone from backcountry have any insight on when these jackets will be restocked?

What types of activities do you plan to use the softshell for? It may help give better insight into your choices as not one softshell can do everything.
As for the gamma LT, It is a very thin fabric with no real insulating qualities to it. It breathes very well and does a decent job with the wind. The Venta is a full windproof shell that breathes OK (but compensates for that with pit zips). It is fleece lined so it provides some warmth as well. I have owned a Marmot ROM as well and it also uses Windstopper but has breatheable side panels (at a much lower price point). It is less insulating than the Venta SV.
I used the Marmot ROM for warmer conditions, and the VENTA in fall/winter and spring time. The Gamma LT will work well in the warmer times as well.
Look into the Marmot Zion as well, Polartec Neo shell does an awesome job breathing and keeping the wind out

You may want to consider the MX as it does have some insulation and I've worn it nearly everywhere for the last two years.
