Whats the difference between this and the venta AR? they seem pretty similar. How does the difference between polartec and the windstopper add up?

Polartec is more breathable and less windproof than windstopper. The Venta has pit zips for this reason. The venta is also seam sealed and the gamma is not. They have similar cut (bit short-ish in the front with drop back hems- as well as 2 outer pockets. It will really come down to what activities you intend to use the jacket for. If you plan on using it mostly for layering go for the Gamma, If you want something that blocks the wind more and is used for light aerobic activities - go for the Venta
