Does anyone know what the difference is between the Gamma hoody and the Hercules hoody?

Gamma MX is burly, but the least warm and no stand up collar. The Gamma SV is burlier, and warmer than the MX with a nice stand-up collar that is separate from the hood. The Hercules has no stand up collar, is not as windproof or abrasion resistant as the Gammas, breathes much better, however, and is the warmest if wind doesn't factor into the equation. Does that help?

Gamma MX is more wind and water resistant, Hercules is still weather resistant, but more breathable, and cut to work as a mid or outer layer. Gamma is cut as an outer layer.
