Gear Review
Love the material, not so keen on the fit.

I've always wanted to get a Gamma MX, but never was willing to pony up the dough. I finally broke down and got one. As much as I hate writing anything negative about Arc'teryx, I must admit I'm not too fond of the fit of this jacket. I got myself a medium. The sleeves are perfect for me, but the body of the jacket is pretty short. I know the cut is tailored for climbing, so it's probably perfect if you're actually using it for climbing. I use mine for just about everything, but I always find myself pulling down on the bottom of the jacket, because it feels like it's always riding up on me. Like I said before, I love the stretchy Polartec fabric, water resistance, breathability, and everything else about the jacket - I just wish they'd cut the body a wee bit longer.
