Question 1

What is the size the model is wearing?

River, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hello there, the models are wearing the Gamma Lightweight Hoody in size Medium.

Question 2

is it warm enough for winter?

Rick, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hello Juliette, thank you for your question. The Gamma Lightweight Hoody is a light, wind-resistant, and breathable softshell designed for hiking and all-mountain use. For winter conditions, it may be too light on its own, and you will likely need to add insulating layers, as the Gamma collection is not insulated. If you're looking for a warmer option, the Gamma MX Hoody features a fleece lining and may be better suited to cooler temperatures, though additional layers may still be needed depending on the conditions and your activity level. We hope this helps.

Question 6

Bonjour, je vais faire un tour d’Asie d’ici janvier prochain et j’aimerais savoir si cette veste est adapté pour la vie de tous les jours ainsi que la randonne ect. Merci d’avance

River, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Bonjour Alric, merci pour votre question. La veste à capuche peu épaisse Gamma, avec sa construction softshell légère, respirante et coupe‑vent, est un excellent choix pour un usage polyvalent au quotidien comme pour la randonnée en climat variable. Elle offre une grande liberté de mouvement, gère très bien l’humidité corporelle et résiste aux petites intempéries, ce qui en fait une couche fiable pour un voyage actif en Asie où les conditions peuvent changer rapidement. Pour des pluies plus soutenues, il peut toutefois être utile de compléter avec une couche imperméable. Votre projet de voyage est inspirant, et cette veste pourrait très bien vous accompagner dans toutes vos activités!

Question 7

Is the fabric material on the garment itself providing the UPF 50  sun protection or is it a layer of coating on it that’s providing the protection? Will the UPF 50  protection wear off after wash and how to restore it?

Seymour, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi there, thanks for reaching out. The UPF 50+ rating of the Gamma Lightweight Hoody comes from the fabric itself rather than from a coating. When cared for according to the recommended care instructions, the sun protection provided by the fabric should not wash out over time and does not need to be restored after washing. We hope this helps!

Question 8

Please could you let me know the dimensions of the size L and XL in the current design for the Gamma Lightweight hoody?

Seymour, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi there, thanks for reaching out. Please find three key measurements for the Gamma Lightweight Hoody below to help with your sizing decision:

Size L
Chest Width: 127.1 cm  
Center Back Length: 76.0 cm
Sleeve Length from Center Back: 95.5 cm

Size XL
Chest Width: 137.1 cm
Center Back Length: 78.6 cm
Sleeve Length from Center Back: 98.1 cm

Question 9

Can the jacket stow away in its pocket?

River, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hello Jacks, the Gamma Lightweight Hoody doesn’t stow into its own pocket, but it can be packed neatly into its hood. To do this, simply fold the body of the jacket inward and roll it up toward the hood, then use the hood as a soft pouch to contain the piece — it creates a compact bundle that’s easy to tuck into a pack. If you’re specifically looking for a jacket that stows into its own pocket, we recommend checking out the Squamish Hoody, which is designed with an integrated stuff pocket for streamlined packability.

Question 10

Does it have a croppable waist line

Seymour, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi there, thanks for reaching out. The Gamma Lightweight Hoody features an adjustable hem draw cord that seals out drafts. We hope this helps!
