Gamma Hose Herren

Arc'teryx has long made my favorite all-around climbing and hiking pants—they’ve always checked all the boxes. The face fabric has been incredibly durable, and over the past 10 years, I’ve purchased 8 or 9 pairs of Sigma and Gamma pants in various weights. They’ve performed flawlessly and held up impressively well over time. But something seems to have changed recently. With the three pairs of Gamma pants I’ve purchased in the last year or so, I’ve run into a recurring issue: the stitching, glue, or tape in the waistband and crotch begins to fail quickly and then deteriorates rapidly. It usually starts with the internal belt twisting inside the waistband, followed by the stitching or bonding coming apart—leaving a spreading gap that exposes the belt and interior structure. This occurred on one pair of gamma purchased within the ladt year or so and I can feel the belt twisting and waistband separation beginning on a second. What’s especially frustrating is that all of my much older pairs are still going strong, with no signs of this problem. I returned one of the newer pairs under warranty and received a credit, which I used toward the Serratus jacket instead. While I’d love to pick up two or three fresh pairs of pants, I’m now hesitant to spend that money on another round of Gamma pants given these quality concerns and recent reviews about quality control and sizing issues of the revised edition.

Way to big difference i waist sizes. 32» to thight and 34» way to wide! Should have been a 33».

The revised fit of these pants is significantly slimmer in the legs and roomier in the glutes vs. the version i bought in 2023. Took a pant with a perfectly subtly slim fit and made them way too skinny in the legs and baggy in the butt. Not sure who this is supposed to fit better, but from the other reviews its clear this is not just a me problem.

They are so tight now! The design is stunning, beautiful proportions, however it is so slim fit! I have the gamma AR bought in 2023 may, and is more regular fit. I expected those dimensions and Just a shorter Pant. I bought 36S.

I had the previous version of these pants when the sizing was traditional (S-XL). I would buy my pair in an XL because I like a looser fit on my thighs. With the current waist sizing, the pants are too tight on the waist, butt, and thigh. I can’t comfortably wear the current version, and it’s unfortunate. Bring back the original sizing please.

Excelente, super comodo y fácil de llevar y lavar

Great pants but wish for some changes for the next version. I would love if there were zippers down the sides of the legs (starting from right blow where a harness leg loop would be and end a little below the knee) for venting. And these are 'climbing' pants but when wearing a harness in them it feels like my crotch area is getting smashed. I have other pants that are not climbing specific pants, and they are way more comfortable and relaxed in the crotch area. So, I would love some new design around the crotch being roomier and more comfortable while in a harness (especially when sitting in the harness).

Really loved the sizing of the my old Gamma pants. Tried on several sizes in the new Gamma pant. The new sizing / cut is narrower in the waist and wider in the butt and legs. Why would they change a winner design?

What is the purpose of the grommets on the hem? The model in the picture doesn’t use them. Are they to run your shoelaces through? If so, they’re a poor design. Didn’t these used to have lace hooks? Bring those back!

These pants are great for any outdoor pursuit in mild weather. If you're dealing with a slight chill and some wind, but still need some breathability in case the sun comes out, these are the perfect pant. In warmer climates, I prefer the quick dry to the lightweight version of the pant because of the closure on the waist and the presence of a back pocket. If you're dealing with cooler weather, the Gamma AR pant is a great option. I have multiple copies of every version of these pants and they all have their place.

These are my favorite all around climbing pant, they check all the boxes. The face fabric has been extremely durable. But they loose a star for quality especially at the $200 mark. I have warrantied 3 pairs of these already, either the seam tape in the crotch and crotch stitching doesn’t hold together, or the fabric of the pockets wears through. It hasn’t consistently been the same spot either. So it’s not like my keys are extra abrasive and they’re wearing through in the same spot. It has been a different pocket each time. It’s a bit frustrating since the pants are so good in every other regard. If REI didn’t have the return policy they do, I would be looking for a different pant.

Love the pants Awesome job Only thing I was disappointed with was the zippers never came with the cords on which is a great touch on my other pants I’ve purchased from you a month ago. Thanks

These are by far my favorite pants. BY FAR. However, after 2 pairs of these pants with the same issue occurring, I can't recommend these to anyone. The tape seam along the inner stitching starts to peel away after only a couple of washes. I even sent the second pair in for repair (I received a voucher for the first pair), and after having this issue repaired, it only took a few washes for the tape-seam to begin peeling away again. I don't do any strenuous activity, or anything intense while wearing these, just walking. Since I'm experiencing this issue again for a third time, I'm not sure how to proceed. I love the brand, and what it stands for, but this is a MAJOR issue for pants that cost $200

Best pants for ANYTHING. I have tried everything from Kuhl, Prana, Carhartt, Black Diamond, AND TopoDesigns. These are BY FAR my favorite pants due to the material, fit, ruggedness, durability and breathability. Mountain biking, hiking, skiing, rock climbing, or just walking around... these pants are amazing!

Used for two ice seasons, love the hook that attaches to boot laces.

Great outdoor trousers. The fit is slightly tighter on the lower legs than the gamma (non-mx, former light) trousers but the upper part is roomy enough for good mobility, they fit well muscular legs. Great material, solid weather protection while still warm and breathable. Great pockets. The lace hook can be tucked in a fold when not needed, nice touch. The design of the new belt loop and press button is much better, the belt is now very unlikely to open by itself (an issue with the non MX gammas). As a great bonus, they do look pretty sleek and not unsightly at all if worn in town.

Perfect lightweight soft-shell for warm rock or summer glacier travel. The fit is back to a bit of a relaxed fit and the cuff of the pant fits nicely over a boot. I have purchased this pant many times over the years and will keep on doing so.

I own a climbing guide service and after using these pants for guiding and personal climbing days I decided to incorporate them into our company uniform. The pants fit well with the perfect amount of stretch for climbing, are durable, and look great. Over the years I've gone through lots of pants designed for climbing, and up until the Gamma Pant I hadn't found a pair that checks all the boxes for flexibility and is durable enough to stand up to 200+ days a year of climbing.

These are the only pants you need. Winter bike rides or summer hikes the fit and function is excellent. Perfectly featured and quick drying.

This is my eighth pair of these pants through the years starting in 2019. The first pairs are still in great shape. They have changed the snap button and the fly zipper since then and it’s do-able but I’m not sure why they changed the fit so much on the revised pair. They are pretty baggy through the legs. Love the pants quality. Awesome product.

I really like these pants. Durable and somewhat weather resistant. Fit is great for me and it's great that they come in several different colors and inseam sizes that are actually available. Slim fitting but enough room to move if you have outdoor athlete thighs. I like that there is no pocket on the back. You would only be sitting on what is in there. Only down side is the fly zipper is too short. Arc'teryx has done this on a number of their pants. I really can't figure out why they can't get this right. It's not that hard. Shorter than any zipper on any pants I have by many different outdoor and jean companies. It makes it really hard to relieve oneself with a harness on. Even without a harness you have to undo the waist so you can drop the pants a bit.

My only complaint is that the cut seems looser than the previous version, which is slightly disappointing.
