Fit Tip for the Men's Gamma SV Jacket: This jacket is athletically cut and form fitting. I am 6'1" and about 190lbs. The large fit well, but for a roomier fit (that you could layer underneath) size up one.

Description

Arc'teryx: Men's Gamma SV Jacket - Altrec.com Product Description:

A modern day Softshell legend, the trim styling Arcteryx Gamma SV Jacket for men provides an extra range of four-way mobility in a DWR treated fabric that is tough, breathable, and weather repellent. Using a soft polyester lining to wick moisture, while the tough DWR-coated softshell exterior battles the outside weather, this all-mountain master is ready for any cool weather alpine activity. High out of the way zippered hand pockets allow access to your on-route munchables, even when wearing a climbing harness or backpack. A full front zip with wind flap snugs things up to the soft, brushed-lined high collar, while a hem drawcord seals up the waist. Simple, functional, and ultra-breathable, the Gamma SV Softshell jacket provides maximum adventure versatility.

Great Jacket Great jacket! I have the Theta AR as well; between these two jackets, I will never need another. Arc'Teryx products are so far ahead of Patagonia, North Face, Mountain Hardwear and Marmot when speaking of pure comfort, durability and the overall quality of all of their clothes. Great investment!

The Perfect Jacket This is the awesomest jacket I have ever found. It is so incredibly versital. I have worn mine in freezing winter conditions, warm summer showers, and everything in between. I have not found it to be as warm as everyone else says it is. I am comfortable in it on a gusty summer day to a colder fall day, but anything colder, like skiing, demands a fleece underneath. It is very waterproof, with only my forarms and neck getting wet sometimes. It is fairly windproof, but is much more breathable than a hardshell, and it can get cold when it is really windy. Usually another layer solves that problem. The cut is close and short, but the strech makes up for the close, and the short hasn't caused any problems. It fits well. I don't like the outside pockets much, though, because whenever you put anything in them they bulge outward considerably. It is pretty durable. I have taken it over a lot of rocks and such, and it has never caught or anything. However, a few strings have pulled out a little from the fabric, and the corners of the seams are looking worn after a few years. The wind tab behind the zipper is softening and curling, but none of these has had any effect on performance so far. The price is high, like all arc'teryx products, but the quality is even higher. If you find this jacket on sale, buy it. It is a great jacket that you will wear all the time. You won't regret the expenditure.

Fantastic jacket, serves me well I waited a couple of months to write this review, wantin to experience if this softshell jacket served my purposes. I can only say GREAT! Being a professional licensed tennistrainer I was looking for a jacket with unrestricted movement possibilities, warm, wind- and reasonable rainproof and also very important: good breathing capabilities. This jacket has it all! Arc'teryx is well renown for the perfect fit of their clothing gear and I must say that again I was not disappointed. You look sharp and even sporty dressed in this fine softshell jacket. It serves my purposes and still is worth every Dollar/Euro Bas Bouwer/the Netherlands p.s. Altrec.com is a perfect Internet shopping company, very reliable and service minded
