Altrec Description: The highly wind and water resistant Polartec Power Shield fabric on this breathable Arc'teryx Gamma MX Jacket makes it a great choice for moderate weather protection for strenuous outdoor activities. Climbing Magazine gave the jacket their Editor's Choice award for alpinist versatility. It's made with Polartec Power Shield fabric, a technical blended material that features tightly woven nylon on the outside laminated to a wicking insulation layer inside, so it protects you from the elements while still allowing for breathable soft shell performance. If you ski or do any type of climbing, the Arc'teryx Gamma MX Jacket has you comfortably covered in mild weather or broken cloud conditions with short bursts of rain or snow. Stitch-free laminated zippers, pockets and drawcord optimize the technical protection while reducing the overall weight. Added touches like a soft brushed collar lining and streamlined interior wind flap enhance the comfort options better than some minimalist-configured soft shells. If you're looking for a similar configuration with a helmet-compatible Storm Hood™, take a moment to check out the Arc'teryx Gamma MX Hoody.
Backcountry Description: Designed for active backcountry pursuits in cool temperatures, the Arc'teryc Men's Gamma MX Softshell Jacket is a tried and true original that provides light weather protection with functional and ergonomic stretch. From steep mixed climbs to hiking windswept ridges, the Gamma MX resists wind and moisture while remaining highly breathable. No-Lift underarm gussets ensure the jacket won't ride up when you reach for the next handhold or tool placement.

Best All Around | 
I first stumbled on Arc'teryx back in 2003, when I purchased a black Gamma MX for a winter trek in Europe. The MX was perfect!--whether in the snowy cold of Paris, the windy glacial breezes blowing down the Dolomites, or simply walking in a cool evening in Seville on Three Kings Day. I was comfortable in cold and warm in frigid-either very active or sitting outside drinking a beer. Two years ago I purchased the orange Gamma MX (because I loved the color) and wondered if it would be any better. Well, all the new features amp'ed up the quality, but the jacket remained as awesome as the first. If you want a great all around jacket, a jacket versatile enough to use almost every day in every situation (except a downpour), purchase this jacket. I own a number of Arc'teryx and this is my all around favorite (my ultimate favorite--for layering or wearing in Spring, Summer, and Fall--is the Epsilon).
