Can anyone compare the Gamma LT (jacket or pullover) to the Accelero? Which is more breathable, wind resistant, water resistant, and stretchy? Thanks!

See the comp for the Accelero to complete these answers. Comparing the Gamma LT pullover to the Gamma LT jacket. These use different fabrics, with the Gamma LT PO being a single layer of stretch woven fabric and the Gamma LT jacket a "plated" fabric using nylon on the face and polyester inside-this is a really cool fabric that is a single layer, but with different threads. Nylon-durable; Polyester-moisture management. So, the PO is lighter, and more stretchy, and a tiny bit more breathable (minor difference) Gamma LT jacket is really tough, still breathes really well, and sheds weather, but is a bit bigger if it's rolled up in your pack. Hope these help!
