How is the fit on this compared to the Epsilon SV. I wear an XL in the Epsilon and it fits perfect as I layer over it. I would want to layer underneath the Gamma so I'm wondering if it fits similar or if it is more trimming than the Epsilon. I'm leaning towards the XXL for my uses.

Hi Levi I'd say the Gamma MX has a slightly looser fit than the Epsilon,but is still trim. It does have way more stretch and is a bit warmer and more protective while still breathing well. I can fit a baselayer and a light insulator ( I use the Atom LT for cold weather) under my MX and I wear my normal size.
