They obviously have different materials. The Gamma SV hoody has Polartec Powershield while the Alchemy has Windstopper. The Gamma SV hoody has a helmet compatible hood while the Alchemy doesnt have a hood. The Alchemy will be better for layering under a hardshell, while the Gamma SV would stand better on its own. So it basically comes down to what your use will be. Arcteryx is very high quality as well, so thats always a bonus.
