Good jacket, but...

Good but not perfect; I like the cut, fabric, and color, but it should have pit zips, a way to roll up and stow the hood, and a 2-way zipper in the front. Also sleeve cuffs that open so you can adjust or roll up the sleeves. Not worth the full price, but on sale I'm glad I bought it, I use it quite a bit and it does have a pretty wide comfort range.

Bs, sorry to get picky but your review misses the mark completely. If you want pit zips, stow-able hood and other accessories get another softshell. This one is perfect in its simplicity and lightweight. That's why its called a Gamma MX and not the Gamma SV
