Disappointing step backwards
1 year ago
Arc’teryx used to sell a line called “Palisade”. Originally, these had a shorts, a cropper, and a long variant. My favorite was the cropper. Then the cropper was discontinued. But at least you could shorten the legs of the long pants. Then they changed the fit of the Palisade long pants to make the legs much narrower—and, as a consequence, less comfortable. Then they discontinued the Palisade altogether. The current equivalent is the Gamma. But this suffers by missing one side pocket and a back pocket. It seems that the aim is to be able to say “New” each season. But that can only imply taking a perfectly good line and making it worse. I hate this.

Out of this world pants

I recently purchased these pants for my trip to Georgia, and I must say, they have exceeded my expectations. Throughout my 6-7 days of hiking, I wore these pants consistently, and their exceptional breathability and lightness set them apart from any other pants I've tried. The weatherproof feature held up remarkably well, and the design itself is nothing short of brilliant. I honestly couldn't find a single flaw with this product. It's important to note that these pants are meant to be lightweight, so if you're seeking warmth, layering them with a base layer would be ideal. Overall, I am thoroughly impressed with these pants and highly recommend them for any outdoor adventure.

Fantastic pants
2 years ago
I bought these in the 34 waist Small, even tho my inseam is 83, the small fits much nicer. I used these recently to go up snowdon and i was very impressed by the way the rain could evaporate so easily and how breathable they were. Washing is very simple and can easily be cleaned from any marks. Highly recommend these pants!

Gamma Pants, not grandpa pants
1 year ago
"You will never get that blood out". I wasn't so sure, but after five days in the San Juans, I figured that the blood stain was set, and I would have to accept the stain as a conversation starter - no more wearing them out with my wife as my Cookie-Monster-Blue Grandpa Pants. When I got home, I found that one normal wash and the blood stain had come out. My buddy owes me twenty-five cents. A bet is a bet. And there was NO laundry sorcery needed. Not only that, but these pants really held up. I should also mention they stayed up - I really like the built-in belt. When we were off trail, we were post-holing in on snow over blowdown and deadfall any step could leave me crotch-deep; every time my leg went through, I wondered if I had been impaled. It was cold enough not to feel it. That is how I got the blood stain - post-holing and being stabbed by a downed tree beneath the snow. Oddly enough, my skin was impaled and bloody, but the pants were not. These pants stretch and stay tough. They breathe and repel water and wind. I highly recommend these pants. Best piece of new gear on the trip for me, and this was the "new gear" trip. No bells and whistles, just exceeding expectations in a quiet way.

Please bring back the previous model
2 years ago
I have three of these pants from previous years and wear them non-stop. I purchased a pair of this revised model and they are not even close to as nice. Closure at the top feels sloppy, legs not as tapered, pockets seem slightly more shallow. There are plenty of models within Arcteryx which already fit similar to this revised model - I really hope the old model returns. I have "sold" about 10 of my friends on the old model and they all have said it is their favourite pant they have ever worn, so it's a pity to see them revised.

Love the pant, miss the old sizing
2 years ago
I bought and fell in love with my first Gamma LTs before they were revised. They came in S-M-L-XL. Now they are sized by number and the largest size offered is a size 38. I wear my old pairs everyday at the office and am really pleased with the fit, the quality, the look and the built-in belt. I never purchased pants at this price point before, but I immediately saw the value in them. I was heartbroken to see that the new sizing on these stopped at a 38. I can often wear 38 in many brands, and while these still fit me fine around the waist, they are far less roomy through the thighs. Although snug, I could probably get away with wearing them still, if it weren't for the fact that the pockets pucker when open. I hope Arc'teryx reconsiders the sizing in the future and adds a size 40 option

Best fitting pants I've ever worn!
1 year ago
I bought two pairs of these years ago and have been extremely happy with every bit of them. I am 6'5" tall with a very long inseam. finding active hiking/climbing pants is nearly impossible. I ordered the 32 waist pant in their tall option and found it was perfect! Besides the great fit, these pants are very durable and well featured. I love the integrated webbing belt that lies flat and is not noticeable under my hip belt or climbing harness. The zipper pockets are low profile too and keep everything where you put it. The fabric on these pants has stood up to many many days in the field. Unlike other softshell pants I have tried, this fabric still looks and feels new after years of use. I keep waiting for the pants to wear out to purchase another couple pairs, but I'm still on my original set.

Nice pants for warm weather
1 year ago
These pants provide great wind protection and adequate water resistance. I prefer these over the standard gamma pants for their comfort and use during warmer weather. They are super light and you barely feel they’re on. The belt enclosure is high quality and the fit is pretty good. I’m 6’ and the length is slightly long but not unbearable. I probably would have preferred the short inseam but I never see the color and size option in stock. Overall pretty happy with these pants !

Great disappointment - changed fit and material
2 years ago
The Gamma SL has been changed to the Gamma Lightweight. I loved the Gamma SL and just wanted a second pair in a different color. The new style is different: not as slim and articulated a fit, it is more plain in its contour. In addition, the material is slightly changed, not as supple, a little more coarse. There no longer are any pull ties at the bottom to snug against one's boots. So disappointed. Bring the real Gamma SL back please!

Would love if Arcteryx
2 years ago
Would love if Arcteryx You bring back the dark blue in the gamma line. I buy pants and shirts and use them for everything Court school around town. I’ll use technical pants for climbing kayaking and around town I don’t like having a lot so I can get up and go when needed With minimal packing and other reasons you have more favorable colors in the woman’s line Same with puffys and shoes
