Question 1

is it water resistant

Dante, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi Sarah, thank you for your question. Yes, the Gamma Hoody is water resistant. It is finished with a PFAS-free Durable Water Repellent treatment that sheds light rain and mist, making it a great choice for active outdoor pursuits where breathability and stretch are key. That said, because it is a softshell jacket rather than a fully waterproof shell, we would recommend pairing it with a waterproof layer like our Beta series if you anticipate sustained heavy rain. Please let us know if you have any other questions, we are happy to help.

Question 3

Which size should I choose (L or XL) if I am 187 cm tall, 90 kgs, chest around 100 cm?

Helio, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi Rocco, thank you for reaching out! It is difficult to recommend a size, as fit preferences can vary from person to person. We suggest taking your body measurements and comparing them with the Gamma Hoody measurements below to find the size that suits you best. If your measurements are between sizes, select a larger size for a looser fit or a smaller size for a tighter fit.

Size L
Chest Width: 127.1cm
Waist Width: 119.6cm
Center Back Length: 76cm
Sleeve Length (from center back neck to shoulder point to bottom sleeve edge): 95.5cm

Size XL
Chest Width: 137.1cm
Waist Width: 129.6cm
Center Back Length: 78.6cm
Sleeve Length: 98.1cm

Please note that we offer free shipping and free returns within our authorized return window, so you’re welcome to order multiple sizes, try them on at home, and return any that don’t work—completely free of charge. We hope this helps!

Question 6

is the gamma hoody waterproof

Seymour, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi there, thanks for reaching out. The Gamma Hoody is made with Fortius DW 2.0 fabric, which is weather-resistant, breathable, and durable. That said, it is not waterproof. If you are looking for a waterproof jacket, we recommend looking into one of our options that features GORE-TEX. We hope this helps!

Question 7

Is this gamma hoody, previously named the gamma light hoody

Seymour, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi Arnu, thanks for reaching out. The Gamma Hoody was previously the Gamma LT Hoody. We hope this helps!

Question 8

May I know the main difference between Gamma MX Hoody and Gamma Hoody? Which have better breathable for hiking? Are they both suitable to add mid-layer inside, and won't feel too tight?
Thanks.

Seymour, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi Jeff, thanks for reaching out. The Gamma MX Hoody is the warmer option. It is made with a Fortius 2.0 softshell fabric that includes a fleece backer, which adds insulation and is intended for mixed conditions. Because of this added warmth, it is less breathable and better suited for cooler temperatures. The Gamma Hoody is lighter weight and does not have a fleece backing. This makes it noticeably more breathable and a better choice for hiking, especially in milder or warmer conditions where managing heat and moisture is important. Both jackets feature our regular fit and are designed to allow for layering. You can add a light to midweight layer underneath either option without it feeling restrictive. We hope this helps!

Question 9

J’aimerais savoir si ce modèle de veste est coupe vent

River · Accepted Answer

Bonjour Fredo, merci pour votre question concernant la veste à capuche Gamma. Ce modèle est conçu avec un tissu softshell hautement respirant qui offre une excellente protection contre le vent, tout en permettant une liberté de mouvement et un confort optimal lors d’activités variées en montagne ou au quotidien. Bien qu’elle ne soit pas entièrement imperméable et coupe-vent comme une veste hardshell, la Gamma est pensée pour résister efficacement aux rafales et aux conditions changeantes, tout en restant respirante et durable.
