Light stretchy all-occasion jacket

a year ago
The Gamma Lightweight is the piece I reach for the most for shoulder season activities, chilly summer evenings, and all-round travel jacket. It keeps the wind out well for how light it is. Stretchy - so it's easy to move in. Durable exterior - not as hardy as the thicker Gamma siblings - but I've no issues throwing this jacket around hiking, biking, and rock climbing, and it has held up well with no visible scuffs. Mind you I got it in white too. Water beads off beautifully when caught in the occasional shower. If you happen to be caught in a summer downpour in Japan like I did and wetted out (very fair considering it was 10 min heavy rain, this isn't a hardshell), it was drying by the time I found a station to duck in and the train came. Favorite travel jacket for how low maintenance and packable it is.

Keeps the wind out and keeps you nice and warm!

a year ago
I bought this jacket a few months ago but I wasn't able to wear it because of the warm weather were I live, so I was happy that I could test my new hoody on our weekend getaway to Point Reyes (CA). On our hike at the coast it was very windy and chilly. I was pleasantly surprised by this jacket: it kept me nice and warm because it kept the wind out, but also not too warm when we were doing more active hiking. I like the sides because it is elastic, so it makes a nice fit around your waist. I also like the hoody part, but one downside was that it kept falling off because of the very windy circumstances. Therefore I give this hoody 4 stars. On another trip I brought this jacket along in case it would be cold. This trip was by plane and I had no luggage, not even a carry-on. I only brought my backpack so I put the jacket in a gallon ziplock, took most of the air out and it fit nicely in my backpack. Great jacket! I would recommend this hoody to other people. It is very comfortable, weighs next to nothing and I love the style.

Quality, light and looks nice!

I got this lovely jacket for my partner two seasons ago and since then it is hers favourite summer jacket. She wears it everywhere she goes, be this to work or hiking - just can’t get enough of it. Protects well from windy Scotland’s weather and looks just great on her! It is also easy to wash it and overall maintenance. She loves it which makes me happy too!

Great lightweight jacket

a year ago
Having become a recent lover of softshells, I've now added this to my collection as I had worn one from another brand to death. This feels much higher quality and the fit is really nice. I love the higher neck line in the Arc'teryx jackets as they keep the wind off so much better!

Best summer jacket

a year ago
I am mainly a cyclist.This means I can heat up on a climb, and get chilled on the downhill. It is thanks to owning the Proton and Proton Light that I learned the value of breathable but warm in these conditions. The Gamma Light as my jacket for spring and summer has that same wonderful quality of giving me protection when I need it, but never causing me to overheat. It is substantial but light at the same time. Being out on the road, wanted a bright color. Was skeptical about “Groovie” but it was the only choice, Turns out to be a lovely color, now one of my favorites. The jacket was way expensive. But it is extremely well made. And works!
Q: Pros:
A: Well made, breathable
Q: Cons:
A: Sleeves a bit too long
Q: Activity
A: Road cycling, mountain biking
Q: Your Height:
A: 5’6”

Wonderful to-go jacket

2 years ago
I bought this jacket today and I’m very happy with it! It feels very thin, light as a nothing, but yet when you put it on, it give you warmth and shelter from wind. Since it is so light weighted, I would grab it in my bag on my day hikes and even for a morning or night walk when it get a little bit chilly outside.

Nice jacket

2 years ago
Happy with the quality and comfort of this hoodie. I bought it in Jupiter (burgundy). It’s a bit weird that that the pockets are a grey colour, so when you wear it unzipped, it looks mismatched. Otherwise, a good product.

No, I do not recommend this product.

weird sizing

3 years ago
Not sure what happened to Arcteryx sizing, but lately some shell jackets have very long sleeves. The sleeves in this jacket cover my hands all the way. I am 5'7 and wear medium. However, lately I noticed most of Arcteryx tops I need to size down to small. I bought this jacket in Small and it still felt too long in the sleeves and was hanging on me without any shape. Same goes for Alpha SV and AR shells - I tried on Medium and Small sizes with layers that I normally would wear in the mountains and the sleeves were all the way down covering my fingers, with Medium size being bulky overall and Small size a bit too small for all the necessary layers. It is quite disappointing as I have been using Arcteryx for years and it has always been my go-to for all mountaineering clothing. It is still a high quality material and product but the sizing has been off for some time now and I don't see any improvement.
Q: Activity
A: mountaineering, outdoor activities

So glad to hear this one has long enough sleeves! Will be ordering when it restocks. I find most Arcteryx women's clothing to be too short in the sleeves whilst too wide in the waist and hips. I hope other women's items get revised to longer sleeves, slimmer waist as well.

Just what I needed

3 years ago
I wanted a lighter weight, easily packable jacket for hiking and biking in wet conditions. I love my Beta, but this one is awesome in conditions less severe when you just need a reliable, waterproof shell. Now that I live in an island tropical climate, the lightweight nature of this jacket is perfect without being heavy or hot. It really is just what I needed. You won't be disappointed in this purchase. Fit is true to size.

love this! so lightweight and stretchy

4 years ago
I love this jacket! I have had the Gamma LT for a few years and it is great but is often just too much jacket (too warm) for really active pursuits. My Gamma LT is a size small but I got the Gamma SL in XS figuring I wouldn't be wearing a down puffy underneath, the fit is perfect with a couple of base layers or a light sweater underneath (I am 5'5" about 115lbs with decent shoulders and long arms). I love this for Nordic skiing because it is thin and stretchy, wore it mountain biking today and will wear it hiking. It's a great do it all jacket. If you are someone who gets hot while moving but still wants wind resistance, this jacket is it. Can't recommend enough.
Q: Activity
A: nordic skiing, mountain biking, hiking

Super jacket

4 years ago
I wanted a softshell jacket so treated myself to this one. When it arrived, it was not quite what I had imagined - it was thinner and seemed fragile. I thought about returning it, but decided to try it and was so pleased that I did. It has turned out to be my favourite coat for cool days as it is beautifully lightweight but strong and windproof. I cannot recommend it enough!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Great lightweight jacket

4 years ago
I wanted something lightweight that I could wear hiking the trails or shopping in town and this is perfect for both! My only issue is that the sleeves are a little long and I have long arms so I usually have the opposite problem of sleeves being too short, but too long is better than too short (in my opinion).

Sleeve too long

4 years ago
I loved the material of the Gamma SL Hoody jacket. The sleeve is too long for my petite size. The low-profile elasticated cuffs cannot seal out the cold. If the cuffs come in velcro it might work out. The cuffs and length of my Atom SL Hoody is perfect. I wish you would do something for petite.

Very disappointed

4 years ago
I purchased this jacket after reading several reviews online all of which stated this jacket fits true to size. I've been a serious fan of Arcteryx for 15 years! I worked all over North America guiding in all kinds of insane weather and Arcteryx has NEVER let me down . Until now. The fit is so off!!! I'm historically a med but reviews suggested it's a slim fit and if you want any kind of layering go up a size, it might as well be an XL, two sizes too big. It's huge in the arms and shoulders but slim cut at the bottom and the zipper doesn't sit flat. I'm sorry to make this review but I don't want others to get stuck with an expensive jacket they can't wear.
Q: Pros:
A: Lightweight, packs small
Q: Cons:
A: Fits large, zipper doesn't lie flat
Q: Activity
A: Trail running, Mountain biking, ski touring

No, I do not recommend this product.
