Description

Lightweight, air permeable wind and moisture resistant hoody designed for rock and alpine climbing. Constructed using two weights of softshell for enhanced mobility and durability. Gamma Series: Softshell outerwear with stretch | SL: Superlight.
DESCRIPTION
Arc’teryx fabric knowledge and design experience comes together in hoody designed for weight conscious alpinists moving quickly over mixed terrain. Created specifically for women, the Gamma SL Hybrid Hoody uses a durable, weather-resistant fabric in high-wear areas and a lightweight, quick drying, air permeable fabric in the main body.
HYBRID PERFORMANCE

Arc’teryx carefully selects textiles that deliver specific, use focused benefits, then uses Hybrid Mapping technology to determine where each is best utilized. TerraTex™ is used on the body and under the arms, where air circulation and quick drying performance can be maximized. On areas exposed to abrasion, Fortius™ 1.0 softshell is deployed. Fortius™ has four way stretch for freedom of movement, and the nylon/spandex blend offers elevated durability. Hybrid Mapping also delivers a weight benefit as it specifically focuses the use of heavier fabrics only where needed.
MAXIMIZED FREEDOM

Climbing’s ergonomic demands inform the Gamma SL’s design. The Athletic fit is streamlined, but allows room for light layers. The women’s specific design and articulation in the patterning help create a fit that moves with the body, and gusseted underarms keep the Gamma from riding up or binding when reach is extended. The hip length cut rides comfortably under a harness and, combined with the Hemlock™ inserts, helps prevent the jacket from creeping out and bunching up while climbing. The helmet compatible StormHood™ design moves with the head so as not to impede vision while looking up and down or side to side.

This is an awesome fleece. Very comfy fit. Perfect weight keeps you warm but not too warm. Very versatile.

Jacket works perfectly at keeping me warm. Though the zipper is rubbish, I still think it was good for the price. I had the zipper replaced and it's all good now

( FEATURED REVIEW )

I bought this jacket because I was traveling internationally from a cold climate to a hot climate and needed a lightweight jacket that would provide good coverage. It absolutely needed to be lightweight because it needed to fit into my carry-on backpack and be easy to carry around in the country with me when I needed it. That jacket was exactly that. The jacket is very lightweight and also folds into one of the pockets. After your unfold it from the pocket, it will be wrinkled. It was just stuffed into a small space after all. But before long most of the wrinkles come right back out and the jacket looks fine again. The jacket being able to fold into the pocket is also very handy for transporting it in bag or backpack.

Also the sleeves have velcro straps that make the end of the sleeves adjustable if you have smaller wrist or just want tighter coverage on your wrist. The sleeves were long enough for me which is always a plus. I am 5'7 and have longer arms so sometimes that can be a hassle.

The pockets are pretty large and have zipper which was great for me in the airport during the time when I always needed to have my passport out but didn't always want to have it in my hands. Travelers, y'all know what I'm talking about .

My only complaint is that the hood was a bit small to me. I wish it had a few more inches of coverage for my head but it's definitely manageable. I didn't really use it too much except on the plane when I wanted to sleep anyway and honestly it was good enough for that.

When I returned back to my colder climate, it was raining and the jacket was great for that too! It was fine for the light rain we had here. I stayed dry and thats usually the goal. I'm not sure how it will do in heavier rain, but honestly, if you need a raincoat, buy a raincoat right?

Overall, I would definitely recommend the jacket.
