Arc teryx gamma mx jacket review.

Arc teryx updated the fortius fabric in this 2020 model. The gamma mx softshell jacket is arc teryx warmest gamma durable enough for the crag and weather resistant enough for fast changing mountain conditions. Based on my experiences with arc teryx see my review of the alpha sv jacket i decided on the gamma mx. You need a softshell that works across the spectrum of changing outputs and shifting conditions.

As the equipment coordinator for a search and rescue team i was faced with buying up to 50 fleece jackets for my team members. I chose the hooded version for added warmth when a toque just won t do. Year after year the arc teryx gamma mx hoody covers many of the bases for a great technical softshell for cold weather. Delivering light weather protection breathable warmth and exceptional freedom of movement the gamma mx hoody is the solution.

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. Alpine climbers and backcountry skiers can wear this midweight jacket alone in mild mixed weather conditions or they can wear this jacket as an insulating layer beneath a storm shell. It is well tailored comfortable and features decent mobility. 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.
