Arc'teryx Gamma SV Hooded Jacket - Men's
8 years and counting...

Ranked #2202 - Men's Softshell Jackets
May 4, 2009
I've owned the same Gamma SV since 2001. It has seen action in every climate you can think of, in every season that warrants the use of a jacket. It is supremely versatile. It won't keep you dry in a downpour, but it will shed enough water to keep you comfortable in a rain shower. It doesn't pack well, but you'll probably be wearing it.
After 8 years of use, the sleeves/cuffs are frayed and the draw cords are broken... I still wear it because it's still highly functional.
Looks pretty good, too. (discounting frayed cuffs)
