From Backcountry.com:
"The Arc'teryx Men's Gamma MX Hoody Jacket is a hooded version of the award-winning Gamma MX. Signature Arc'teryx innovations are featured throughout, including gusseted underarms that eliminate bulk and provide unparalleled freedom of movement while you're climbing or riding. The MX Jacket's Storm Hood is now helmet compatible, so your noggin is safe and warm at the same time. Another improvement is the longer body, which blocks drafts and keeps you warmer. The Gamma MX is highly water resistant and extremely breathable. A dialed fit and ultimate versatility have lead the Gamma series to be recognized, through receiving an Apex award for design, as a pioneer in softshell design. *Available for US shipment only."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"From Cheakamus to Chile, the Arc'teryx Gamma MX Hoody for Men 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."

"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."
