Arc'teryx Gamma MX Hooded Softshell Jacket - Men's

Item #ARC0880 | 35 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Versatile

By Ranked #164 - Men's Softshell Jackets January 27, 2006

This is truly a versatile jacket. I wore it comfortably while snowboarding in milder weather, close to 50F. It breathes beautifully. With a couple of baselayers (Under Armor cold gear and TNF Cirque Delta), and a 200 weight fleece vest, I wore it while snowboarding in 8F with wind chills at -25f. It is surprisingly warm for its weight. Additionally, I remained dry in a heavy, driving downpour. The DWR held up quite well, but I could tell the fabric was beginning to absorb some water. Two gripes: First, the sleeve cuffs should be adjustable. Second, the hood should have one more vertical adjustment to make it fit better when not wearing a helmet.
