I live in the Gamma Hoody
I bought the predecessor of the Gamma Hoody in 2016 and have worn it hard for every conceivable purpose. From the first crisp fall day to the last cool day of spring, this rocks for ice climbing, hiking, trail work, days-in town, and everything in between. Due to the fit its great to layer, but its cozy enough that I can throw it over a short sleeve and still be comfortable. I will be 100% replacing it with another the instant I have to, but I hope there is a repair in its future when the time comes, because it has come to be like that childhood emotional support item that you couldn't get rid of! Also the Arc'teryx colorways always ROCK! Pick something bright to be a statement piece!
Exceptional Hiking Jacket for Alaska
I have several Gamma LT's that I use for hiking year round in Alaska. I decided to get another one in the Heritage colorway. The new revision actually fits pretty well, the length is still good to wear with a climbing pack, and it layers well. The Wee Burly is hands down the best soft shell material imo. It breathes very well, but is almost impervious to wind. I've worn it in extended light rain and the DWR worked well enough to keep me dry. It's my go to hiking jacket, and if it releases in Vitality I'll probably end up buying another one 🙃.
Apparently “revised” means something else.
It would be a great jacket if it fit. I’m learning that “revised” means “we’ve made it smaller.” For reference, I’m 5’10”-180lbs-athletic build. I bought a medium because that’s what I’ve bought in the past. This jacket fits like a small. I have to fight the sleeves over my arms if I want to wear a light flannel or similar long sleeve under. The listing says “regular fit” but it’s more like a fitted. It’d be cool if the company stopped making fashion pieces for a Milan runway and catered to the industry which helped create the brand for what it is today. Do I own other Arc items-yes, will I continue to buy their items-also yes.
Hi there, we are sorry to hear that the Gamma Hoody was not the right fit. Our design team relies heavily on user feedback, and we appreciate your honest review. We will be sure to pass this along to our design team.
Almost all around jkt, great quality
The jacket is top-notch workmanship and the materials seem sturdy and durable for outdoor use. Tested under heavy water the 'waterproofing is excellent, clearly with use and washing I don't expect it to stay that way even though I use professional products for washing and DWR treatment. What I didn't like: I bought a size M and yet it seems to me that you have increased the size, the jacket seems a bit wide. The cuffs have no adjustment or closure, I expected at least a tightening system. Hood too wide, it's okay if you have a climbing helmet, but if I have to climb I don't use a jacket like the Gamma. In conclusion a very good product. Maybe more colors available.
Technical and casual
I purchased the Gamma LT hoody in almost white color. After several hikes with mixed conditions (no rain) it proved to be perfect for moderate wind and provides some insulation (very light). It is stretchy and super confortable, the outer fiber seems durable and the fit is excellent. I am wearing into town and looks great.
Almost perfect
Really good fabric, well built with quality and style. However, it is not really waterproof. The sewings are covered so water can get in
Solid Choice for Winter Climbing
I use the Gamma Hoody as my primary softshell for ice/mixed climbing. Note, while the Gamma MX is the marketed product for this pursuit, I find that the Gamma has one things going for it that the MX does not: The longer hem/sleeve length means I can wear a Medium, with the benefit of the slim fit, and it stays tucked into my harness. I usually pair this with Rho Wool top and Konseal fleece, and then an Atom vest over the top for colder temperatures. I find the DWR is sufficient for blowing water off of ice falls, but if the water is really raging over the line of the climb, you should be wearing a hardshell. The shell material is durable enough for the rock abrasion that comes with mixed climbing, and it is light enough to pack down well if you're ditching the layer on the approach/descent. The main drawback I've found is the lack of a chest pocket, instead having 2 handwarmer pockets. The handwarmer pockets often sit under a harness, making them shallower, if not unusable. I'd like pocket access for storing phone/snacks, but extra gloves get zipped inside all of the layers, hence why it's extra important that the hem stays under the harness!
Breathable light soft shell
I’ve been using this jacket almost everyday for work over the past year. So it’s seen about 7months of 4-5 days use. I’m out in the feild working everyday. It looks like the day I got it. Breaths well, blocks wind. I would not say it’s very water resistant. Soaks through in about 15min. I don’t like the hood,it’s way to big to use without a helmet.For a lighter jacket I just don’t think having a full on hood is useful. I would agree with the fit being off. I bought a med. and large and the difference between the 2 was drastic.
Nice jacket - but tiny armpits/loss cuffs
A very nice build jacket, whit and great hood and a fabric that seams robust and weather resistant but still breaths well. the two downsides are: Tiny armpits, i had to size up old you the armpint on the M i super thight (fells like s or xs) - got an L fit okay, but its a bit baggy and that leads the second issue the cuffs are loss and the elastic dosn't help at all, don't see why the there isnt any velco adjustment or proper elastic cuffs like on the old gamma's over all a good jacket whit and below average fit
It’s really a wetsuit
It looks like a jacket, but it fits like a wetsuit. I always buy size small in jackets of any brand, never a problem. I tried this jacket on in the past and liked it, but I bought after it had been revised. Now, if you have ever down a push up or a pull up, your arms and chest will not fit into this “jacket”.
