Water, wind, and puke proof.

This is a great technical jacket that happens to be tres functional in the city. It doesn't fit as close as the Gamma SV, and I'm able to wear a heavy fleece underneath; and that's a great combo for cold weather. It's close to being totally H2Oproof, blocks wind, and has repelled baby puke (don't ask). It's really good for climbing as well as holding onto subway handrails. As such, the sleeves are cut longer, and the wrist closures are pretty tight (you won't be rolling up the sleeves). Plus, it's a smart-looking jacket.
Difference between the SV and the MX? The MX is warmer, but the SV repels H20 better. Also, the men's version has blue-greyish colored pockets; the all black version is for women.
