Pantalon Gamma Femme

Love these!! I am 5'9 and the regular length fits me perfectly. I just wished the snap button at the waist was more sturdy because my pants keep unbuttoning when I crouch down quickly like when lifting a box.

These are flattering, comfortable, light to mid weight and have some stretch which is very welcome! Look nice enough to wear dress-casual, in my book.

I own the old version of these pants in 3 colors but I'm immediately returning the new ones. I know fit is subjective, but the new design is such a departure from the old one that anyone who is happy with the previous version won't like these, and anyone who gets the new one is getting an inferior product for a higher price. Pros: The material is the same water resistant, durable, and breathable fabric that I love. I find it's perfect for shoulder season in the PNW and even good in the winter with a base layer. I've done a ton of bushwhacking in them and they always come out unscathed. It still feels soft against my skin and it looks sleek enough to wear to work or lounge around in. I love the synch at the bottom of the legs to protect from things getting into my boots and to transition between a more casual look. Cons: The new fit is just off and it's no longer flattering to athletic builds. The stitching in the butt has a very specific pointed shape near the top so it's less accommodating to multiple body types than the old version. I can see and feel the seams scrunching up on me instead of laying flat and smooth. Theres also way too much room in the legs without any sort of shaping or tapering, and I say that as someone who has thunder thighs and appreciates some extra material. I also think the new belt is lower quality than the old one. The old buckle was a metal hook and this one is just a plastic stopper. From experiences with similar thin belts on other pants, it won't hold up well.

Please bring back the old style! These fit way too large in the legs and seem to have less stretch. Not flattering at all. The old style adjustable belt is also so much better! Thanks for finally making a tall inseam in a size 4 but please bring back the old style!

I am updating my earlier review now that I have had time to wear the revised version. I also own the original version. What I like about the revised version: As with the original, the fabric in the revised version performs well in dry or wet, rainy weather conditions and holds up well through muddy/wet, sometimes prickle bush lined trails here on Vancouver Island. I also like that I can layer leggings under them in the colder months, as is during the shoulder seasons and I can cinch up the bottoms in summer, making this a durable, all season piece. If I had to choose 3 pieces of Arc'teryx clothing, this would be on the list along with the Atom jacket and Beta shell. What I like about the original version: The design. The leg is less tapered and the result is a more tailored looking and feeling pant rather than simply a functional one. The Arc'teryx logo belt elevated the Gamma pant to my absolute favourite hiking pant for its function as well as its design. I hope in the future, Arc'teryx designers will consider bringing these elements back.

Bought these at another retailer but had to review here. I am have a smallish frame (5"4, 125 lbs) but have a large butt which Arc'teryx doesn't design for. After I went up two sizes from my usual size the fit was awesome, absolutely love the draw cord on the bottom hem and the waist belt to account for my sizing up. However, the fabric is unbearably loud!! You would hear me swishing from a mile away...please find a quieter fabric! I sadly had to return.

Excellent trousers. I bought these to replace my Levons so only for light use. These are great but I do like the cotton/poly material better and back packets would be good. Great shape though

Miss having the belt that came with the Gamma LT ones that I bought in March 2023 and the snap on these ones doesn't seem to fasten as tight as my last pair. I have taken the tags off now so hoping the snap stays snapped during my walks.

If you actually want to wear these pants outside and not to just sit on your couch (who needs pants for that?), don't purchase these. On my third time ever wearing these, I road biked into town in the rain and got a dirt stripe up my butt, a normal occurrence when wearing outdoor gear outside. Only problem - the mud didn't wash out. I washed and dried the pants according to instructions, and still, the stain remained. Contacted customer service and all they offered me was a gift card for 20% of the value of the pants - I guess I'll replace my fancy pants with a pair of socks? Pants fit great, but no, I don't want people staring at my butt mud stripe when I'm climbing. If the stain were anywhere else I'd be a little more lenient, but it looks like I pooped my pants. I'm really sad about this because the pants fit and feel great, but now I'm just really self-conscious wearing these. Main takeaway for you, arc'teryx: $240 pants should have a little more ability to withstand basic outdoors elements like mud. Please do better, both with your fabric sourcing and your customer service.

These are awesome pants. I love how more room was given in seat and thigh for strong legs. Only thing is the cuff is a little wide at the ankle.

Love the fit - and I appreciate how the waist cinches to make sure they don't fall down. ***HOWEVER....the snap WILL NOT stay snapped, rendering the cinching useless. These pants do not stay fastened, especially with active movement / bending over / climbing. These should have a loop/hook closure, or an actual button. Anything would be more effective than a single snap. Arc'teryx - can I send these back to have the snap swapped out for a buckle or something else?

This is my second pair of the Gamma Pants. I love them for everyday and hiking. They are comfortable and durable and look very nice on. Fit is true to size

These are one of my first Arc pants purchased and I've had an overall good experience with them. They are definitely a staple pant that you can use for various activities like hiking, walking, climbing or even just casually. I like how comfortable they feel on the skin, and the breathability it provides. My only concern is the fit, they fit me well around my thighs but are pretty tapered and tighter around my calves. But other than that, I've had a good experience with them and have no quality issues!

Perfect city or outdoor pants - perfect length for 5’5 is the small

Disappointed. The fit was Just totally off. I have slim waist and wide hips and the fabric was creasing in the crotch and on my bottom in the least flattering way

Très contente de l’achat mais déçue car le bas du pantalon est déjà brisé en allant faire de la marche en montagne, un accros avec les crampons

Ok pair of climbing pants Bought this last month. It’s my 4th of 4 pairs. They’ve changed the snap around the waistband and now the snap on my most recent pair pops open whenever I’m doing a dynamic movement. Very annoying. I think they also changed the cut as the thighs feel a bit tighter than previous pairs.

If this pant goes through a fit (and possibly fabric) overhaul, it will be great. I will outline what my experience was, and note that your mileage may vary based upon weight, body type, proportions, sound sensitivity, and so on. SOME REALLY NICE ATTRIBUTES: 1. Extremely comfortable; fabric moves with the body 2. Ultra flexible: you can move into and out of any position 3. Lightweight & breathable 4. Nice length on the regular (I am 5’8”) 5. Adjustable at the ankles (always looking for joggers) 6. Easily layers over merino leggings without binding 7. Fabric looks durable 8. Water-resistant NEEDS IMPROVEMENT: 1. The sound of the fabric. The dealbreaker for me (in fact, the main reason I returned them), was that there is so much material at and/or between the knees, that with every single step (at any pace), there was a LOUD, swishing sound, announcing my presence as I walked. I like to move quietly about the world, and I do not want the sound of my clothing to draw attention and annoyance toward me, or to distract me from the (((flow))) of my activity. They were loud indoors. They were loud outdoors. They were louder than any pants I have ever owned. This problem was limited to the location between the knees only, and was not an issue anywhere else. 2. The waist is MUCH too high, and the cut thereof is MUCH too small. For those of us who cannot tolerate any high-waisted garments, this is another dealbreaker when sizing up cannot remedy the problem. Ordinarily, I wear a size 6 in pants, but due to the narrow, high waist, and tight bottom area, I had to size up to an 8 in order to drop the waist down to the hips where it was supposed to be. Sizing up fixed the waist issue, but then the area covering the bottom became much too large, baggy, and would not hold its shape. This was frustrating. 3. The adjustable ankle is a welcome idea, as I am always looking for water-resistant rain and/or snow pants that have more of a jogger style, and are slim, tapered or gathered, and smaller at the ankle. The problem with the adjustment cord on the Gamma (I tried the December 2023 version in black, regular), is that once you appropriately tighten the cord, the tail is so long that it falls out from under the ankle of the pant when you walk, and gets stepped on. There needs to be a better way to stow this cord, that will not lead to getting caught and/or damaged underfoot. I am: 5’8” 125-135 lbs Slim & athletic Extremely active Long torso & long arms

I loved the colour! These are my favourite pants. I have 4 gamma pants now. They’re light, dry quickly and flexible. I love them for everyday and perfect for camping.

I have another pair of these pants so was excited to purchase them on Black Friday. I wore them for the first time last week and they tore right through the logo…maybe when I pulled my harness on? I reached out to Arc’teryx but they said this damage was “wear and tear”, so nothing they can do. I’m disappointed because I paid more than I’m comfortable with for these pants thinking they would be part of my outdoor wardrobe for years and they didn’t last one wear. I will try to repair them myself so that my money isn’t totally wasted but very disappointed in the quality of the product and the customer service.
