More breathable than a hard shell, this Arc'teryx soft shell is for days when you need extra warmth but not a fully insulated layer, and extra weather protection but not a fully waterproof jacket.

Perfect winter alpine sport outer jacket

This is the perfect winter alpine sport jacket.My primary use for it is ice climbing - it serves as the only shell I need (unless it's pouring rain) - and keeps the wind out while still allowing for breathability. The soft shell material allows for full mobility and I haven't had any issues while ice climbing. I'm so happy this jacket exists because ice climbing in a Beta or other hard shell is just so uncomfortable. the Gamma MX is also incredibly durable - I've rubbed it up on rock, ice, my ice tools - without having any tears. My only complaint is I wish it came in more bright colors :) .

Fantastic softshell

Perfect softshell. Nice stretch/mobility without the crinkle of a hardshell. Water resistance is sufficient to keep you dry through prolonged drizzle. Fleece lining is soft and adds to the overall warmth without losing breathability. Storm Hood fits over hats to create a cozy, high utility jacket. Only critique, which is a personal preference, is that the jacket were 2 inches longer in the back to ensure no water gets in between the jacket and pants when you bend over.

Long arms approve!

I’m LOVING this jacket! The fit is perfect, even for my long arms. Plenty of room for an extra layer underneath without being too baggy. It’s perfectly warm but breathable. I plan on wearing it skate skiing this winter on cold and snowy days, or on any active adventure in cold weather. I’m 5’9”, 155 lbs, ordered size M. The only critique I have is that the front chest pocket is a little small.

Classic colors please

I got really happy when I saw what I thought was the brown color coming back for this jacket. The Mongoose is a nice color but not for all. I wish you would make the Staples always in black, black sapphire, a classic brown and military green. So hard to wear any of these new purple, green and yellow/orange colors. If you want a classic look but not only black jackets there's nothing unfortunately

Hello Johanna, thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Gamma MX Hoody. We’re sorry to hear that the current colour offering doesn’t match the classic palette you prefer. Mongoose has been a popular seasonal option, but we understand that earthy staples like black, brown, deep greens, and Black Sapphire can be much easier to wear day‑to‑day and pair across a wardrobe. Our colourways evolve seasonally to balance performance visibility, design exploration, and guest feedback, but your perspective is important, especially around keeping core pieces available in timeless, versatile tones. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know what you’d like to see return, and we’ll be sure to pass your comments along to our design and merchandising teams.

Gamma Hoody - holding out for Gamma Jacket.

Well as much as I want to give it 5 stars .. I returned the hoody jacket. My old Gamma LW was perfect but no hoody. I understand they are cutting a no hoody jacket for later this spring so I decide to wait for that version from the Gamma group. Other than that, great looking jacket, nice fit but just too much hoody action for me.

Gamma MX Jacket - Women’s

Perfect fit with a base and Alpha Direct mid layer. Hiked 7 hours in a mix of light snow, freezing rain and wind in the mid to low 20s (F). Stayed comfy the whole day. Not much room for additional layers underneath, but I could layer a jacket over the top if needed.

Durability

I use the Gamma MX hooded jacket for ice climbing, so I wanted to get one for my girlfriend. She loved the MX jacket. It was warm and durable. I like the jacket so much that I have a hooded one for ice climbing and a non-hooded one for traveling.

Favorite Running Jacket for Winter/Spring

This strikes the perfect balance of warmth & breathability for cold-weather runs. The chest pocket is big enough to fit a cellphone + credit cards. LOVE that all of the pockets are also lined. The Soulsonic purple gets so many compliments.

LOVE

My all time favourite jacket. Perfect as a midlayer under my Beta SL for warmth or just on it's own for something light but still warm. It's a great fit on me and i love the colour. Great in wind. Love, Love love.

Anbefales

Liker passformen. Passe innsving i midjen, gir en fin fasong - men likevell god plass til genser under. Oppleves normal i størrelsen.
