How would the gamma mx compare to Backcountry.com's Shift soft shell? They are both Polartec Powershield, but is the thickness the same? I LOVE the Shift and want to know if the Gamma MX will insulate as well, or better than it. Thanks!!

The Gamma MX is a lite version of the Polartec Powershield; I've seen both and the backcountry.com Shift jacket is definitely a little bit heavier. As a point of reference, I think that the Gamma MX makes a better jacket for layering purposes, while the Shift jacket seems like a better option for more use as an outer layer.
