fabulous 'softer' softshell

Ranked #328 - Women's Softshell Jackets

My other arcteryx is the seeker comp hoody softshell (medium- fits well with 2 techy layers) which I use solely for ski touring/snowboarding. I bought the Gamma AR because I wanted a shoftshell that was sort of thick and 'soft' compared to some other thinner, more 'shell' like softshells (already have that category covered). I got the size medium because I tried on the similar-sounding gamma MX in S, and, although it looked good, wouldn't fit much underneath and therefore decided to get M. However, the AR is not at thin/slim and stretchy as the MX and the medium I got is a little big. I wear it with 2+ heavy layers underneath but on it's own, it isn't exactly flattering (I recently tried on the size S of this jacket and it looks pretty smokin).
