Arc'teryx Gamma LT Pullover Softshell Jacket- Men's
Perfect climbing windshirt
By Eric Dacus
Ranked #103 - Men's Softshell Jackets
April 27, 2007
My wife uses a Mountain Hardwear Transition Zip-T which is windproof and breathes really well, and I had used a Patagonia Houdini wind jacket (very fragile material). After ordering both this and the Transition was a bit snug for me (that's how its supposed to fit), so I kept the gamma LT - and after climbing in it around Salt Lake City and City of Rocks ID I really like it.
Pros: Breathes like crazy, stretches very well, very abrasion resistant even on granite, and cuts the wind as much as I need it to. My wife is always cold and I'm usually too warm.
Cons: The absolutely perfect fit would be between this and the Transition, but I can still layer a thick baselayer under if I need. Also a bit more expensive than the Zip-T.
