Stylish, Cozy & Worth It

1 day ago

This coat is my new favorite. Its tailored design and neutral shade pair effortlessly with any outfit, while the thick fabric keeps me warm in cold, windy weather. The soft lining feels great, and the sturdy zippers/pockets add practicality.It works for work, hikes, or dinners—no bulk, so layering over sweaters is easy. Minor con: it’s a bit heavy, but that’s a small price for the warmth.

Really like

10 months ago

The 24-year-old new gamma mx is more fit in design. The L size of 180/155 kg makes the upper body fit and comfortable. Compared with the L size of gamma hoody, this length is more suitable. Similarly, the length of L size gamma hoody is two fingers longer than this. The two versions are different. The gamma hoody fabric on the fabric will be more wear-resistant. The existing fabric of gamma mx is soft and breathable, and the gamma hoody version is more outdoor. The upper body feels light and breathable, and it is not so thick to the touch, but you can feel the rapid increase in temperature behind you.

Lots of changes from the 2020 product.

10 months ago

Out of the box, the Gamma MX Hoody is like most Arcteryx gear I've purchased. Well designed with high end materials and construction. What's from 2020 Gamma MX jacket that I liked so much that I bought two of and wear daily year round? The material. I love the old Gamma MX. I'll circle back once I use the redesigned 2024 product with an updated review. What else changed? Cuff design. These look ok and incorporate an elastic product, but the old ones held up in daily wear and still work well after 3 plus years. The fit is said to be different as well. But after a 50 pound weight loss and ordering a size smaller, I'm not a good judge at this point.

Great all around hoody! It's GAMMA time!

8 months ago

This new GAMMA MX HOODY is great! The Black Sapphire colour is nice and modern especially for our fall season. I just got this jacket a few days ago and I really like the way it fits so far. The new soft shell material feels better than previous models and wearing it on both sunny and rainy days really holds up nicely. As for the fit, it's roomy enough for a thicker sweater and warm enough for a t-shirt. The only thing I wish it adopted from other models of this price point is an inner and arm pocket as well. Lastly, this jacket is perfect for our local Vancouver fall weather and I am hoping they stock up soon so I can get another colour for the winter/spring!

Arc'teryx Gamma MX

6 months ago

The Gamma MX Jacket strikes a perfect balance between insulation and breathability. Made from a softshell fabric, it provides ample warmth without sacrificing mobility. I appreciate how it blocks wind effectively, making it a reliable option on chilly days. Whether I was ascending a steep trail or setting up camp in the evening, this jacket allowed for freedom of movement while still keeping me warm.

Almost Perfect - Needs Better Fit in Armpits

3 months ago

Overall, this is a fantastic hoody - great for cold-weather activities and daily commuting. The materials, construction, and overall fit are excellent. However, there’s one significant issue: the fit around the armpits is uncomfortably tight. It pushes up and creates noticeable pressure and irritation, which becomes distracting over time. Feedback for the design team: This seems to be a recurring concern with the Gamma MX, as others have pointed it out as well. Slightly loosening the cut around the shoulders / armpits would make a big difference in comfort without compromising the performance or fit of the hoody. It shouldn’t feel like it’s constantly rubbing or pressing against that area.

Agree with the other reviews

9 months ago

I unfortunately did not read the reviews before buying a new Gamma MX hoody. I had one I purchased 10 years ago in grey and decided I wanted it in Black instead. I should have realized something was up when I was able to sell my old jacket for nearly the same price as a new one. The new one does still look good and I get compliments on it, but it doesn't feel as easy to wear now that the cuffs are longer and the fit is bigger. It's especially noticeable with the front chin cuff. I used to wear my old one zipped all the way up all the time. But, with this jacket it's too high and baggy.

Hello, thank you for sharing your experience with our Gamma MX Hoody. We understand how frustrating it can be when sizing does not match expectations, especially when you've had a great fit in the past. Recent sizing revisions have made smaller sizes a bit smaller, while the medium has remained consistent. Larger sizes are slightly bigger, which may contribute to the differences you're noticing. We recommend taking your measurements and comparing them to our sizing chart on our website for the best fit, as the sizing chart provides approximate guidelines based on body measurement. Your feedback is invaluable and we appreciate your insights on the fit!

Pocket Ziper can be better

3 months ago

There’s a major fla about the main pockets. Some zippers are designed so that you must pull the zipper slider to move them. But the main pocket zippers on the Gamma MX don’t have this feature, so they gradually open more during use. This is a problem because these two main pockets have vertical zippers that go all the way down, making it very easy for things to fall out. Every time you put something in, you have to zip it all the way to the top, or else you’ll worry about the zipper loosening and things falling out. Also, if you keep your hands in the pocket, the zipper will slide open in time too. On another note, the base color of the Forage / Verve is quite nice, but the logo is too bright and eye-catching

The perfect softshell

9 months ago

This is the the perfect softshell for backcountry and city use. Arcteryx nailed it with the 2024 version of the Gamma MX Hoody. I´ve been a long time user of the Gamma MX series. I usually wear XL, and the previous Gamma MX versions have always been a little light across the shoulders and around the waist, leaving no room for layering. The 2024 version is perfect. The use of logos is also reduced, only a stitched bird on the chest. I hope Arcteryx continues with this, less is more. Please add more colors. Would love to see Gamma MX in Tatsu.
