Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Gamma MX Hoodie

This jacket is an excellent jacket that fits true to size. I have had one for over 5 years and ski most days, front country and backcountry, here in California in the jacket. Total of over 300 days wearing this jacket. Very breathable and durable. I am 6,1" 175 lbs, and am just between medium and large. I have the large to wear as a true outer layer. If I had one complaint, it would be the cuff. It works very well; but now that it is stretched out, it falls over the wrist onto the hand when wearing it which can be distracting when climbing in this piece. It would be great to have some cuff adjustability for when wearing this as an outer layer or if you want to wear with an under the cuff glove. Overall, excelling jacket and would highly recommend for anyone looking for weather resistance in a breathable jacket. I also have a proton LT that is new with the same cuff issue on one side, so I don't think this is a one off issue.

I purchased this jacket to use as a one-layer solution for around town so I don't have to carry multiple layers or use my more expensive outdoor and mountaineering jackets which I don't want to smell like a restaurant... This jacket fits that bill perfectly, it is super comfortable and just the right balance between warmth and weather protection.

The Gamma MX is an incredibly comfortable all around jacket. The light fleece insulation provides a comfortable warmth and the breathability of the shell make for fewer overheating events. The DWR finish quickly sheds light rain and keeps things nice and dry. I picked one up for my wife and she loves her Gamma MX too! 10/10

Hey! I have several Arcteryx jackets/ hoodies. Atom lt size medium, cerium lt size large, squamish size large, atom ar size large and gamma Mx size large. I like them all, but gamma mx is the most versatile. I use it all the time. It is soft and pretty breathable. Collar and Hood is perfect! I am only1,74m tall with a wide chest(1,09), gamma mx fits me really great. My only wish is that Arcteryx Will make a gamma mx with windstopper as well!

Resist water great,soft,warm even i wear in winter with another polar inside and its perfect. Really strong and its still in good look even after 4 years like new!

Arcteryx is a great company, when the inner pocket on my 10 year old Gamma LT gave up its seam they offered to replace it no questions asked and I paid to upgrade to the MX for a little extra warmth. I've worn it as a day to day jacket for the last year. I commute by bike year round and a few weeks ago I took a bit of a wicked crash - I was pretty banged up - my non arcteryx shorts were ripped through from sliding face down on gravel at speed. The phone and wallet inside my Gamma MX pockets were both super beat up from being sandwiched between gravel and my own weight. The jacket itself was dirty but totally good - only damage to the jack was two tiny holes from the chest zippers poking through after being dragged on the ground where the hard zippers wore through the fabric. I'm amazed this jacket is still wearable after that incident and will totally pay the extra for Arcteryx in the future.

Just purchased this jacket again! I've had a black one for 10+ years and it's been my favorite. I had to pretend like it was worn out and I needed a new one. I picked up a Gamma MX Hoody in the color called Orion and it looks and fits great! Looking forward to"wearing this on out as well"

I've had this soft shell for over 4 years now. Luck would have it that it was the first Arc. product I ever purchased. I don't have one stitch out of place. It still looks great, MINIMAL colour fade, just abide by washing instructions. It is still wind proof and water resistant. If you get caught in the rain for a short period you don't have to worry. I've extended the use of it in colder weather by getting some mid layer fleeces and base layers. The performance of this garment is the best I've had.Other brand name soft shells I owned have not had the longevity of this one.

Great versatile jacket for all seasons. I have worn this down to zero degrees with my Atom LT underneath, which is a perfect pairing. In warmer weather, it breathes well. While there are no pit zips, you can keep the pockets open to vent heat if required. Overall, a well designed jacket with a lot of thought behind it.

I bought this jacket to replace my old climbing windbreaker 3 years ago and I am happy with my purchase since then. This jacket is wind- resistant and gives me some extra warmth at multi-pitch belay stations as it is lightly insulated. The fabric is amazingly resistant to climbing-related abrasion and damage. I also like to wear it durong my skiing backcountry trips on warmer days. This jacket also behaved well in light snow situations and I did not get wet. It is not one of those packable jackets one can compress to a size of a sock; this is a piece I try to wear throughout the whole activity. The hood fits both my climbing and climbing helmets. In general there is nothing special about the design or fit but it looks good and it is a true workhorse!

This was my first Arc'Teryx jacket I owned and still wearing it 7 years later. Incredible quality and versatile piece. Wear it as a mid-layer skiing, an outer layer for higher output activities, and just around town. Fit is trim / athletic. Maybe my favourite Arc'Teryx piece I own. Certainly wear it the most!

I bought this jacket to replace a hoodless soft shell I'd had for over 12 years. This jacket ticked ALL the boxes of what I was looking for! It's the perfect layer for all of the activities I use it for (backcountry skiing, hiking and running around town). Excellent fit and beautifully made.

I like the Gamma MX so much I have two, a black one about three years old and a new red one. It's the perfect jacket for where I live in southwest Canada. It's so light and soft I forget I'm wearing it.

Une veste incroyable tant par son confort que son efficacit, extrmement polyvalente je l'utilise pour chacune de mes activits (sportive ou non) et n'ai jamais eu de problme.

Love this jacket. Fits very nice. Light and warm enough with a T on under. Sort of water proof in a shower it's great. Heavy rain needs a more waterproof jacket. But great all rounder.

My go-to jacket in almost any conditions (probably wouldn't wear it in sweltering heat). With proper layering I've used it without any trouble in temperatures down to -20 C, and between 0 and +10 it's sufficient with just a decent wool inner layer underneath. As the title suggests, it's a very versatile jacket. The size is a tad on the small side. I'm always between an XL and XXL, and here the XXL is definitely the right fit. It fits really well everywhere but the sleeves. I find them an inch too long, which is slightly aggravated because there's no tightening mechanism. The elastic sleeves don't really work that well. This, however, is a minor flaw. Although it's not waterproof, it'll keep you dry through almost anything. I wouldn't bring it as my primary rain coat on a long hiking trip, but on a daily basis, it's more than sufficient. I also really like the two chest pockets. Very convenient, especially with a backpack.

This is, hands down, my favorite jacket that I have ever owned. I have a difficult time finding jackets that fit my hips while not being too large up top. This is beyond perfect! I can't wait to add more Arc'Teryx items to my collection.
