The Gamma is more breathable? Haven't tried either so can't comment but if that's true it's a big error on Arc's part. This is a classified as a hardfleece which are meant to be more breathable but less protective than softshells. The Gamma LT might breathe better than this but this is definitely *meant* to be more breathable than the Gamma MX, which is *meant* to be a fully featured, protective mountain softshell.

The gamma is apparently warmer (as per one of the arc' reps) I own the epsilon SV and the Gamma MX and cant tell the difference in warmth. The gamma will definitely breath better than the epsilon. If you are looking for a warm softshell jacket- Go for the Hyllus or Firee. Hope this helps.

None of them are going to be super warm - this one is better for layering, as the gammas are softshells and this is a fleece, so it really depends on if you're looking for a warm layer or an outer layer. As far as this one goes, the description mentions "moderate warmth."
