Gamma MX: Ski Review Lech/Zurs & St. Anton

By Alain Ranked #173 - Men's Softshell Jackets January 25, 2005

I wore my Gamma MX 5 of 6 days while in Lech. The weather ranged from a balmy +5C to -14C. The Gamma MX was excellent in all conditions. Here was my layering scheme for the cold days: base layer was my Nike Dri-Fit form fitting shirt open air mesh, mid layer was my Arc'Teryx RHO Top and the GAMMA MX that's it!! Lightweight, wicked breathable with plenty of pocket storage. You also get the "Nod" from those who know all about Arc'Teryx... a good way to hook up with your fellow Canadians and Yanks on their ski trip to Europe. I only wear my Sidewinder SV in really nasty weather now.

The warm weather day in St. Anton you ask? I wore a Patagonia Lightweight Capeline T-shirt, Patagonia R-1 for my mid-layer and the GAMMA MX. Here I discovered how the GAMMA MX breathes. I concur with all the other posters on this jackets breathability. Everyone was sweating BIG TIME except me! Nuf said! BUY THE JACKET!!
