In comparison to the Sigma SV, is the outer fabric the same or any smoother/stretchier? Also is it any longer/roomier? I felt that my Sigma SV was kind of stiff/cut closer than my gamma mx.

The face fabric is a bit smoother on the Venta, and it has internal seams, so no exposed thread. It does have a bit more stretch than the Sigma, but not as much as the Gamma, which is why it may feel less roomy, they are actually cut almost exactly the same.
