By Ranked #1677 - Men's Softshell Jackets August 13, 2009

I have an original Gamma SV which after 7 years of heavy use is showing its age. I would like to replace it. 2 questions.

1) Debating between Gamma AR and Vanta AR. What is the difference?

2) Has the sizing / fit changed since the redesign? I am 5'10" 180 and have a Gamma SV Med that fits perfectly.

Thanks!!

The Gamma SV from years past has been revised, and is basically the same as the current Gamma AR (new one has the same fabric,Powershield, but a slightly different pattern) The Venta jackets are made with Windstopper, which means, more wind and water resistant but a bit less breathable and stretchy.Sizing will be the same.
