Gamma Lightweight Hoody Herren

Super light weight, breathable, and high quality - 10/10. The cinch cord is great and actually holds in the spot you choose - cannot wait to buy more.

Light but not too light. Pockets really nice as Gamma MX. Little looser than Gamma MX. Materials, sizing, fit 100% good. Highly recomentation. This will be the bestseller. If you want this do not hesitate but hurry, this will be out of stock immediatelly.

Seit vielen Jahren bin ich ein Fan der Marke Arc’teryx und besitze zwischenzeitlich sehr viele Produkte (insbesondere Jacken). Die Produkte von Arc’teryx haben eine sehr gute Qualität und sind sehr gut verarbeitet. Beim Gamma Lightweight Hoody musste ich jedoch zum ersten Mal eine Jacke zurückgeben. Im Vergleich zum Vorgängermodell fällt die Jacke leider viel zu groß aus! Wenn bei einer Neuauflage der Schnitt angepasst wird - z.B. von "körperbetont" auf "normal" - wird das Modell natürlich "größer", aber die Veränderung bei diesem Modell steht in keiner Relation; auch nicht zu erklären sind hierbei die zu langen Ärmel. Ich hoffe deshalb, dass diese Neuauflage eine "Ausnahme" war und Arc’teryx in Zukunft weiterhin einheitliche Größen anbieten wird.

My reviews of Arc'teryx gear share a common theme: range. That's what I look for in gear. I live in the Rocky Mountains and can experience every possible weather condition in a single day, with a temperature swing of 11º C (20º F) between shadow and sun. I do a lot of physical work in the mountains. This lightweight hoody is good for cool mornings, around 7ºC (45º F), with light activity and a sun hoody underneath. This comfort zone extends into the high teens (C) (mid-sixties F) with moderately vigorous activity. Working up a sweat underneath isn't a major issue as the material is breathable enough to allow some refreshing air to enter, so you won't get much more soaked in sweat than you would without it. Keep in mind, this hoody isn't going to cut the cold of a sharp wind. If the sun's going down and you've got a light sweat going, when you stop, you might want to throw a layer on underneath. It improves the warming ability of inner layers by limiting the wind, but it definitely doesn't stop it. It's no replacement for a hard shell; it's an entirely different piece of gear. Increasing the warmth of mid-layers while maintaining some breathability is why I got it, and it's why I'm writing this positive review. It does that well. Another thing it won't do: keep you dry. However, nothing keeps you dry when moving in the rain, so the next best thing is gear that dries out fast, which this does. A benefit of how it limits wind without blocking it is that after you've gotten wet in the rain, you won't freeze when it stops raining and the sunshirt you're wearing underneath dries out. Well, you won't freeze as much as you would without it, which is plenty of reason to consider it a pleasure to have after a light summer rainstorm. But, in a storm so bad that you need to stop moving, you want a hard shell. The cut is ...roomy in the belly. The shoulders, chest, arms, articulation, and length are perfect. But, the belly does not flatter like other Arc'teryx gear. In winter gear, this would be a source of a bad review because the bellows-effect of so much additional room in the waist would make a jacket pointless. In the summer, however, the bellows-effect is unnoticeable or may actually add to the feeling of breathability and transpiration. Besides, there are cinch cords at the hem to lock in a little extra warmth when needed, and it hangs pretty well on the body with a slight cinch. The Stone Wash blue is :chefs-kiss:. There's something very comforting about this color, like a favorite childhood hoody. It looks nice with everything, and if you have blue eyes, your special someone will notice and say it looks good on you.

Too baggy. A different cut to any other Arcteryx I have, although that's not my main gripe. I returned the jacket over a month ago, and still haven't been reimbursed. Arcteryx keep saying they are investigating, the courier stipulates an investigation takes 6 working days, but won't go any further as the account belongs to Arcteryx, I have tried multiples times to resolve via email, to no avail. There is no clear policy on lost/returned items, which is crazy for such a large company. I have had to contact my bank to query the transaction. Really disappointed with Arcteryx

I like Arcteryx stuffs in general but this jacket is not one of them. I was baffled with its fitting. Compared to other Arcteryx jackets I have this one was so baggy. I returned it and got Gamma Jacket instead, which has better fitting.
