74/100

Summary

The Arc'teryx Gamma MX Hoody is a heavyweight softshell jacket with a fleece backing designed for cold, lower-intensity activities. It offers strong weather protection with a helmet-friendly hood and durable build, but breathability suffers under prolonged or vigorous activity due to the fleece lining. It's best suited for cold climates and wind protection; not as versatile for high-output use.

Pros

+Athletic fit
+Intelligent pocket placements
+Dependable weather protection

Cons

-Less-than-ideal breathability
-Less versatile

Summary

The Arc'teryx Gamma MX Hoody is a burly, wind-shedding softshell that excels in cold, blustery winter conditions and transitions between backcountry and everyday wear. It offers excellent weather protection and mobility, but trades off with higher weight and limited breathability, and it is a premium option with a small hood and non-adjustable cuffs.

Pros

+Great weather protection
+Decent mobility
+Helmet-compatible hood
+Durable and warm
+Stylish and comfortable

Cons

-Expensive price
-Non-adjustable cuffs
-Hood is on the small side
-Relatively heavy for a softshell
-Not super breathable
