"I've had my MX Hoody for a few months and I have to admit that it's quickly becoming my favorite piece of outerwear.

It's just that the MX Hoody is so versatile. It's very light and supple and yet its fleece lining keeps you very warm. It's highly water resistant and practically wind proof so it can be used in all conditions - from a hike in the fall to cross country skiing in the winter."

"I was looking around for a while for a hooded soft-shell to use for winter mountaineering. I tend to run warm, particularly going uphill, so all I need is something to get me started when it's really cold and to slip back on to cut the wind at the summit (instead of a hard shell)."

"I live in the Pacific Northwest and I put this jacket through pouring rain, hail, and sleet all in the first day that I got it! This is the best jacket for my climate that I have found can be used in conditions from light rain to snow. I have used on many hikes in rain and snow and on some alpine climbing, super wind proof and warm."

"I was a little skeptical of how good Arc'teryx stuff was until I tried this one on. I had been very happy with my Mountain Hardwear and Marmot, so thought the extra I would have to fork out for a similar Arc'teryx was really a waste of $$. But I was so wrong."

"I have owned and used the Gamma MX Hoody for three ice climbing seasons and can't say enough about its utility. The standard DWR on the jacket has proven quite durable and the face fabric has resisted piling despite constant abuse when I rock climb, ice climb, mix climb, hip belay, etc."

"As the equipment coordinator for a Search and Rescue team I was faced with buying up to 50 "fleece" jackets for my team members. Based on my experiences with Arc'Teryx (see my review of the Alpha SV Jacket), I decided on the Gamma MX. I chose the hooded version for added warmth when a toque just won't do."
