Arc'teryx Men's Gamma MX Hoody: $244.97

BUY HERE Arc'teryx Men's Gamma MX Hoody

Price:
$349.95

From Cheakamus to Chile, the Arc'teryx Gamma MX Hoody is the proven and popular softshell middle layer for technical climbing, hiking and backpacking. Essentially it's the hooded version of the award-winning Arc'teryx Gamma MX Jacket, with the same warm and lightweight Polartec Power Shield fabric in an identical athletic cut. The fabric features a special DWR finish that keeps moisture away from your skin on misty mornings and foggy ascents. Unlike most so-called performance fleece, Polartec Power Shield fabric is exceptionally resilient to wear and won't snag like other material. Gear and gadget freaks will appreciate the five storage pockets, including a laminated sleeve pocket sized for a two-way radio. Interior front zipper wind flaps and an adjustable hem drawcord help seal out cool breezes. Don't be surprised if you find yourself wearing the Gamma MX Hoody throughout the rest of the year.

warm - the Arc'teryx Gamma MX Hoody is the proven and popular fleece middle layer for technical climbing hiking and backpacking.

Terrific Piece of Gear - I was looking for a soft-shell with a hood for winter mountaineering: both for when you are starting out on a cold day and need to get warmed up or when you get to the summit and need slip on something warm (wind summit temps) and breathable (because you'be sweating on the way up) that gives you some head protection. I bought this over the holidays and just used the piece this weekend in the Adirondacks and it was perfect. We had single digit (F) temps at the base and it helped me warm up at the start without overheating (before being put in the pack); then donned again on at the summit where the temps were compounded by 25 mph winds and this jacket kept me feeling perfectly comfortable for the brief period I was up top. Pricey but I would have to say it was really worth it.

Best softshell jacket - This is a very versatile piece of garments. The Polartec fabric sheds water nicely and is blocks wind yet is highly breathable. The hood is very convenient in windy and rainy weather. Perfect fit which allows great mobility. The jacket is beautifully made. The build quality is way above other brands such as Patagonia and TNF.

Best jacket I've ever own - After some days hiking on day trips in the Alps this jacket is better than all jackets I've ever own before (including Gamma MX jacket without hoody).Best quality in class and bought for a very good price. Go for it. There is no better.

If you need a hood its the way to go - This jacket rocks. I get pro deals from Pattagucci and cloudveil. I have to say I would pay full ticket for this jacket. The cut is form perfect. The jacket does not breathe as well as my Serendipity jacket but it is not designed too. The cut is much better than the Ice Flow and Arcteryx does not cut corners were Cloudveil is starting to. It is nice to see a company not lower their standard just to make a few extra bucks. I wish Cloudveil would follow that but I think they are losing sight of their soul focus. The only thing I do not like about the Gamma is I think the zipper should be reversed on the laminated sleeve pocket. The zip always seems to open just a little and the snow ice or water always seems to get in. Over-all the jacket performs very well. Breathes great and dries quick. The hood is also a great fit.

Pricey but worth it - Light with that great Arcteryx attention to detail. Super hood design thats simple to operate via chest pockets. For heavens sake Arcteryx put your name on your products not insanely like NF but in a tasteful manner. I buy only North American made goods any more. Why Do you think Asian manufacturers are following ANY environmental guidelines in their manufacturing....Use your head and keep your fellow gearheads employed. Great handsome jacket that you will take every where. Not waterproof like every other softshell it will eventually leak at the seams in a down pour. So much more comfortable than the Schoeller materials.

Amazing - Great for skiing mountaineering around town use. I bought it to replace a Patagonia Scythe jacket - this feels better designed by leaps and bounds. Arc'Teryx seems to have a slimmer fit which I prefer.

Good!! worth over USD300 - I have several pieces of softshells but this one is the most versatile and comfort one. You know Powershield is really stretch fabric than Wiindstopper so you can have better mobility while activity. But I don't believe it is warmer than Windstopper actually. Regarding hood it is big enough for wearing over helmet but it looks a little bit fun during off due to huge size. Anyway you may go into MX hood rather than MX Jacket if you are looking for a stuff which can reduce your pack size in variable weather condition. It works!!!

Gamma MX Hoody = the best of the best. - This jacket is the best i ever bought in my life for climbing and hiking and snowshoeing. It is very breathable and fairly windproof and also protect very well against a light rain or snow. I tested during a snowshoeing trip and had very good result with it in a multi-layer system. I just used to wear an Arc'teryx Rho LTW Zip Top shirt as a base layer and a polartec 100 under it when it is cold . Always perfect never too hot or too cold. Very good overall qualities

Great softshell - One of the only two (the other being the Eider Shield jacket) softshells to be entirely made of polartec shield windproof/water resistant material as opposed to only panels of the material over an otherwise fleece shell like most performance softshells. Extremely lightweight great close to body fit with room fir a base layer and a mid layer if needed breathable and enough pockets. Cons: not completely watertight: it will not withstand an endless downpour allthough it manages standard city showers well enough. No inside pocket and no thumbholes to keep the arms from running up during skiing. Not cheap although worth the money because again entirely made of Polartec shield fabric.

Mammut Extreme Hybrid Pants: $338.95

Thu, 03 Jan 2008 11:06:12 MST





BUY HERE Mammut Extreme Hybrid Pants

Price:
$338.95

A blend that unites the advantages of hard and soft shell fabrics for high performance aerobic endeavors, the Mammut Extreme Hybrid Pants are tough, highly breathable, dirt resistant, and watertight in targeted areas. Designed with durable 3-layer DRYtech in the seat and knees, these areas are additionally reinforced with Schoeller-keprotec patches to guarantee high abrasion resistance and protection against sharp edges. The stretch Schoeller WB-400 legs with NanoSphere weather protection and warm mesh lining cuts the wind, while providing extreme breathability. Articulated at the knee for freedom of movement, watertight two-way zippers seal the front, ventilate at the side, and release the drop seat to enhance its mini-climate. With easy adjustable suspenders, two side and one seat pocket provides plenty of room for gear essentials. Ideal for fast pace activities, the Mammut Extreme Hybrid Pants are perfect for mountaineering, backcountry, and boarding.

Outstanding Hybrid Pant - I tried the EMS Ascent schoeller WB400 pant. They didn't have the reinforced material on the legs to protect from crampons puncture and tears. The zippers were also very flimsy. Mammut addresses these issues and more. They cost more than many competitors but are a much better designed pant and better quality.
