About the "missing features" of the gamma mx:The majority of softshell jackets are made without pit zips because of their superior breathability compared to waterproof/breathable jackets. The price point comes from the special polartec powershield lightweight fabric, and the fact that alpinists looking for a jacket with the features of the gamma mx are willing to pay so much. Also, Arc'Teryx has positioned itself as a premium brand and, consequently, commands a premium price.As for the hood... Arc'Teryx only makes a few jackets with stowable hoods (which add weight over a non-stowable hood) and they are all gore-tex shells. The thicker powershield fabric makes the hood too bulky (in my opnion) to stow.
