Arc'teryx Men's Gamma MX Jacket

The highly wind and water resistant Polartec Power Shield fabric on this breathable Arc'teryx Gamma MX Jacket makes it a great choice for moderate weather protection for strenuous outdoor activities. Climbing Magazine gave the jacket their Editor's Choice award for alpinist versatility. It's made with Polartec Power Shield fabric, a technical blended material that features tightly woven nylon on the outside laminated to a wicking insulation layer inside, so it protects you from the elements while still allowing for breathable soft shell performance. If you ski or do any type of climbing, the Arc'teryx Gamma MX Jacket has you comfortably covered in mild weather or broken cloud conditions with short bursts of rain or snow. Stitch-free laminated zippers, pockets and drawcord optimize the technical protection while reducing the overall weight. Added touches like a soft brushed collar lining and streamlined interior wind flap enhance the comfort options better than some minimalist-configured soft shells. If you're looking for a similar configuration with a helmet-compatible Storm Hood, take a moment to check out the Arc'teryx Gamma MX Hoody.

Light and wam
This jacket is light and can potentially block out all the wind. It is the same size as described. Polartec Power Shield fabric is breathable and keeps warm inside. Highly recommended!

best all around jacket
I have two years of use out of this jacket. Perfect for the fall as an outer layer. My main use for this jacket is while skinning with a single long sleeve layer underneath. At the top, throw on my shell and I'm good to go. This jacket breathes well, is nice and stretchy, and has tons of pockets. It is not waterproof or windproof, same as most soft shells.
