Arc'teryx Gamma SL Hybrid Hooded Softshell Jacket - Men's

Item # ARC1282

Aerobic winter activities like backcountry skiing and ice-climbing require a unique combination of weather protection and breathability to keep you performing without freezing up or overheating. The Arc'teryx Gamma SL Hybrid Softshell Hoody Jacket strikes this balance with the strategic combination of Fortius 1.0 weather-resistant fabric at the shoulders and sleeves and TerraTex breathable fabric in the body.

  • Fortius 1.0 on the shoulders and sleeves for moisture protection, breathability, and durability
  • Helmet-compatible Storm Hood with volume adjustability
  • Gusseted underarms for added durability and unlimited range of motion
  • Athletic fit is ideal for layering under or over

Bottom Line:

Like Goldilock's favorite porridge.

I'm trying to compare this jacket to the Gamma MX hoody.

I'm trying to compare this jacket to the Gamma MX hoody. I have a Gamma MX hoody sitting in my closet with the tags still on it at the moment and am trying to decide if I should keep it or look into the Gamma SL Hybrid hoody.

I am planning on some alpine climbing and snow shoe winter activities, and would also like to know if you could wear this for skiing. Also, I own an Alpha LT hardshell which layers well over the Gamma MX however I am wondering how the Alpha LT would layer over the Gamma SL Hybrid Hoody - would the Gamma SL Hybrid hoody breathe ok under the hardshell?

The Gamma SL Hybrid is quite different from the Gamma MX. SL is a lightweight softshell that blocks some wind and light moisture, but doesn't insulate since it isn't built with the fleece that lines the inside of the Gamma MX. I'd say if you're looking for a softshell primarily for winter conditions, the Gamma MX is your tool. For warmer weather, and things like summer alpine climbing, the Gamma SL would excel. Either will layer well with the Alpha LT
