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.
