How would this compare to the Backcountry...

How would this compare to the Backcountry Rime Pullover in terms of warmth, breathability and wind resistance? Say if i were looking to wear this over a light fleece layer and ride to class in the winter with temps in the 30s and 40s. Would the Gamma MX fit the bill better?

Can't compare for you, but it sounds like the Gamma MX would be your best bet for winter riding, as it's got more of the warmth and wind-resistance, but still breathes well. When the temps get above about 40, I've ridden with my MX and just a shirt underneath.

Thanks for the help! Would opening the chest pockets in the MX provide venting like pit zips?

I would recommend the Gamma LT if you are wearing a fleece underneath and doing an activity like bike riding if the temp will only be 30-40 degrees... I would get too hot in the gamma mx I think but I dont own it!
