Mountaineering, ice climbing, and ski touring are just a few of the sports that the Gamma MX softshell from ARCTERYX handles with Jedi-master aptitude. The breathable, wind- and water-resistant Schoeller Dynamic outer fabric provides all the stretch needed for acrobatic maneuvering.

  • Get extreme durability and weather protection in cold, alpine environments with Polartec Powershield fabric that provides plenty of stretch for any activity
  • Reach for the next hold easily with the gusseted underarms that give you great upward reach, while the laminated hem cord keeps the main body in place to keep drafts out
  • Keep your ID in the laminated sleeve pocket, stow a map in one of 2 chest pockets with laminated zips, and keep your hands toasty in the 2 hand pockets with laminated zips
  • Don't worry about drizzles, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating finish beads the water up rather than letting it soak in
  • Weight: 1 lb 2 oz
    • Fabric: nylon
      • Secondary fabric: nylon / elastic

Love the material, not so keen on the fit.

"Ive always wanted to get a Gamma MX, but never was willing to pony up the dough. I finally broke down and got one. As much as I hate writing anything negative about Arcteryx, I must admit Im not too fond of the fit of this jacket. I got myself a medium. The sleeves are perfect for me, but the body of the jacket is pretty short. I know the cut is tailored for climbing, so its probably perfect if youre actually us..." Read Full Review »

Athletic fit jacket

"I wear my Gamma MX primarily as a late spring/summer/early fall jacket. I have worn the jacket around town, as well as when I've been out climbing. I bought my 'normal' size, which doesn't allow for much layering underneath. I looked at one size bigger but the arms were way too long so I 'settled' for the size I have...." Read Full Review »

"I have the older "Made in Canada" version of this jacket. If the new styles are anything like the old ones, then here's what you will get: PERFORMANCE.
