extremely comfortable light jacket that looks great and performs well. This is ideal for highly aerobic activities in cold weather. This is a highly specific jacket. It is not insulated and offers no wind resistance so you have to be pumping out some heat or use it as a layering piece. It is cut very nicely so you can easily layer over it. It can handle light snow, but will not keep you dry in a light rain. great for around town too.
I have the gamma mx hoody, atom lt hoody, sigma sv, alpha sv, alpha sl, and theta ar - the gamma mx is the least versatile and so it gets used the least.

I agree with the follow up comment. I've found it to be pretty versatile. I wore it to a Costa Rican rain forest to block out the rain in normal temperatures, and wear it to go ski in Lake Tahoe. I wear it on the streets of San Francisco when the days get cold and windy, and I layer it up underneath if I need to. It breathes well which is why I ski in it or do any activity in it. It's my go-to jacket!

Huh? The Gamma MX blocks about 90% of the wind and has a light fleece laminated to the face fabric to provide medium level insulation. I have to say, I think the Gamma MX is the most versatile of all these!
