Arc teryx gamma mx jacket review.

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. Arc teryx updated the fortius fabric in this 2020 model. 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. 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.

Gamma mx hoody alpine environments are dynamic. Delivering light weather protection breathable warmth and exceptional freedom of movement the gamma mx hoody is the solution. 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. I chose the hooded version for added warmth when a toque just won t do. It is well tailored comfortable and features decent mobility. Built from our fortius 2 0 fabric the gamma mx provides midweight insulation resists wind and water breathes and delivers exceptional durability.
