Looks good
Looks and feels nice both casually and outdoors. Seems quite breathable but blocks wind well.

Disappointed long time fan...
Very disappointed in the new production of the jackets. Material is significantly different (thinner) than previous jackets. Production quality feels really cheap. I tried several price points to see if a more expensive version would be similar to one of the several i have purchased over the years, no luck.

Good layer with flexible use
So far so good. Fits as expected. I’m 6’ 215lbs and XL isn’t too baggy, and leaves room for layering. I’ve worn it in 40* with a light fleece and was comfortable while doing a light hike. Same experience with low 60s and paired with a tshirt

Pleased but not blown away
I bought this hoodie as a middle ground for a beta lt for hikes, backpacking, scrambling, and climbing. I like how the jacket fits and the storm hood is great. The only thing that I would want improved is the abrasion resistance. I have worn this jacket for close to 45hrs of hiking/climbing, and there is one part I may have rubbed on a rock and it is pretty scratched up. Other than that it is very durable and breathable. I would recommend if in your budget.

Hello there, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the Gamma Hoody. It’s great to hear that the fit and StormHood are working well for your hikes and climbs, and we appreciate you highlighting how it’s performed for you overall. We understand that abrasion resistance is especially important for scrambling and climbing, and while the Fortius™ fabric is designed for durability, contact with rock can still leave visible marks over time. Your feedback is incredibly valuable to our design teams as we continue to refine our products. We also loved seeing the photos of your climbing, it’s always inspiring to see our gear out in the mountains!
