4 Star Rating

Gamma MX hoody jacket

By Ranked #3530 - Men's Softshell Jackets April 20, 2007

I bought this jacket because of its great reviews. I have to say that I have not been disappointed. However, the price tag is a little over the top. I paid full retail for the green color because it is unique and does look much better than any other jacket I have ever seen. I do get a lot of compliments on the color.
Likes: form fitting, flexible and soft material, good water resistance (not waterproof), decent breathability (could be better), good tail coverage, nice hood with ability to tailor fit with the drawstring cord.
Dislikes: price tag, could breath better if you had some zip vents under the armpits, the left arm pocket is virtually useless due to its small size and the zipper is difficult to open unless your are holding down the arm cuff, the napolean chest pockets do not accommodate bulky items items due to the trim fit of the jacket against the chest.
Overall: was mostly an impulse buy, but don't regret it, as it will be my best outdoor jacket and get lots of use.
