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. As the equipment coordinator for a search and rescue team i was faced with buying up to 50 fleece jackets for my team members. Gamma mx hoody alpine environments are dynamic. It is well tailored comfortable and features decent mobility.

Gamma mx jacket created for the dynamic demands of alpine travel the gamma mx jacket is a proven performer. Arc teryx updated the fortius fabric in this 2020 model. Year after year the arc teryx gamma mx hoody covers many of the bases for a great technical softshell for cold weather. I chose the hooded version for added warmth when a toque just won t do.

You need a softshell that works across the spectrum of changing outputs and shifting 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. Based on my experiences with arc teryx see my review of the alpha sv jacket i decided on the gamma mx. Built from our fortius 2 0 fabric the gamma mx provides midweight insulation resists wind and water breathes and delivers exceptional durability.
