The Arc'teryx Gamma MX Hoody is a women's softshell jacket built for mixed conditions and colder days, offering more breathability than a hardshell with just-enough weather resistance. Its Fortius 2.0 fabric with a fleece backer delivers light warmth for little weight, making it suitable as a standalone layer on chilly hikes and approaches or as a midlayer on cold, wet-weather treks.

The four-way stretch woven textile is air permeable and highly abrasion resistant, while the FC0 DWR finish helps shed light moisture. A brushed recycled polyester pocket mesh lining adds comfort, and the jacket is produced in a Fair Trade Certified facility using bluesign approved materials.

How to use

Wear the Gamma MX Hoody as a standalone layer on chilly hikes and approaches, or as a midlayer on cold, wet-weather treks. Its softshell construction is more breathable than a hardshell while offering just-enough weather resistance for mixed conditions.

Frequently asked questions

How should the Gamma MX Hoody be washed to maintain its water resistance?

Close the main zipper, open pocket zippers, release tension on drawcords and loosen the Velcro cuffs. Wash on a medium heat regular cycle with a technical cleaning agent, then run a second rinse cycle to remove soap residue. Tumble dry on medium heat for 40 to 50 minutes to reactivate the DWR finish.

Is the Gamma MX Hoody suitable for rain and snow?

It provides light protection against the elements but is not designed to offer the protection of a fully waterproof rain or snow jacket. The Fortius 2.0 softshell fabric offers wind protection, warmth and stretch, and handles light snow or brief, intermittent moisture well. For persistent rain, wet snow or prolonged exposure, it should be combined with a waterproof GORE-TEX jacket.

Can the Gamma MX Hoody be used in winter?

Yes, it can be used in winter. Since it features a poly fleece backer as light insulation, staying warm depends on layering it with the right midlayer and baselayer.

What is the difference in warmth between the Gamma MX Hoody and the Beta Jacket?

The Gamma MX Hoody generally feels warmer than the Beta Jacket. The Beta is a hardshell GORE-TEX jacket designed for waterproof protection, while the Gamma MX is a softshell with a poly fleece backer that provides light insulation and added warmth.
