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.

finally showing some wear and tear
I purchased a black Gamma MX 5 years ago and this spring the edges, zippers, and inner lining are looking old. This has been an amazing jacket as it is unbelievably versatile. To some degree you can wear this almost year round in most conditions. My concern is now that Arcyterx has been bought out by Adidas? and made in China now, will the quality be the same as the BC built version? I guess time will tell

The Only Jacket you need
From a cool summers night watching the sunset on the Pacific Ocean skyline, to a brisk early morning, frosty grass hike in the alpine mtns to the warmth of the ski lodge sipping warm rum, this is the only breathable coat you will need. Warm, breathable, packable, and down right just cool to be seen in!

awesome jacket
This jacket is by far the best soft shell I have ever worn!!!! Dries fast, keeps me warm, comfortable fit, plenty of storage space, and it is tough.
