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!
