Great fit, feel, 3 zippered pockets. Great for all mountain pursuits.
I love these pants. I chose the grey like any millennial would and love the color. I've been pretty critical of Arc'teryx recently, but these pants are 5 stars. Material is top notch, comfortable, durable, great seams. I'm 6'4" and the long version fits great length wise. I wish they had a 33 inch or just made them a bit "trimmer" fitting all the way around. The 34 could just be a bit better fitting for an athletic form, but not worth deducting a star over. Kept me super comfortable summiting 14er or just wearing to work.
I’ve owned the Gamma Jogger (32/T Black) for over a year now, and I absolutely love this pant! I also ordered the new Nightscape color, and it’s just gorgeous! These pants are so comfortable and look so good and casual that I basically have to wear them every day ;-) I walk about 11 km to work every day and I’m wearing them almost daily at this point. The fabric quality, the craftsmanship, the design—everything is absolutely top-notch! Even though I often criticize Arc’teryx’s new sizing—whether it’s pants or tops—this one fits me perfectly! In the past, the regular Gamma S/Tall fit me really well, the Konseal in M/Tall also fits perfectly… the Gamma AR in 32/Tall is a bit looser… the Gamma SL 32/Tall in the new model is already too baggy… I just can’t figure out their sizing anymore, and no pants fit me the way I’d like them to. But the Gamma Jogger is the exception! It fits like a glove—maybe exactly because of the jogger style. In short: these pants are awesome, and I can’t recommend them enough!
Good comfort and perfect fit with supple materials but mesh pockets and elastic waistband.
Best fit and very comfort for hiking. Useful pockets.
A good alternative for tights. These pants are between heavier Gamma pants and tights as these are thinner and quite close fitting pants which is good for cycling, running and any outdoor activity in mild to chilly conditions. It's very good that there are tall and short options besides normal length sizes. Like me who need tall option. I'm 6,17 ft. I ordered size 32 tall. The pants are little bit short for me but not much. This is ok because these fit closely so they are almost like tights. Keep sizing with these option also in the future. The thigh pocket is useless and unnecessary for these type of pants which are close fitting. There are no room to put anything into a pocket which is already stretched out as these pants fit almost like a tights. With these type of pants every item goes to a jacket's pockets or to a backpack. The two hand pockets are ok for put something small there if needed when using without a jacket. The waist band is really thight. It's good for keeping the pants up where they should be but it's little bit difficult to put a shirt inside to these pants. This isn't any too bad issue though but I just mention it. The elastic in the cuffs seems and feels good. And the stretchy material of the pants feels and seems good. It's familiar to my older Gamma AR pants except these are lighter, obviously. I just got these and I have used them only couple of time so, I can't say anything about their durability. I hope it's as excellent as my old Gamma AR pants. The unnecessary thigh pocket eats the fifth star.
