Arc teryx gamma mx jacket review.

The gamma mx softshell jacket is arc teryx warmest gamma durable enough for the crag and weather resistant enough for fast changing mountain conditions. The arc teryx gamma mx hoody is a softshell jacket with an additional fleece backing for protecting and insulating from the wind and light precipitation in colder weather activities. I chose the hooded version for added warmth when a toque just won t do. Built from our fortius 2 0 fabric the gamma mx provides midweight insulation resists wind and water breathes and delivers exceptional durability.

While this jacket isn t perfect for everything we ve found it to be one of the best choices for a broad range of non summer activities a layer you can take out without disappointment or frustration. Based on my experiences with arc teryx see my review of the alpha sv jacket i decided on the gamma mx. For the mountain enthusiast who also wants to look good and stay protected from the elements when in the harshest conditions that a softshell jacket can or should. As the equipment coordinator for a search and rescue team i was faced with buying up to 50 fleece jackets for my team members.

Arc teryx updated the fortius fabric in this 2020 model. You need a softshell that works across the spectrum of changing outputs and shifting conditions. Gamma mx hoody alpine environments are dynamic. Gamma mx jacket created for the dynamic demands of alpine travel the gamma mx jacket is a proven performer.
