Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Price Paid: $350

Approximately two years ago I brought my first piece of equipment from Arc'Teryx. It started up as a second choice. I was looking for a windstopper and was fond of a TNF Pamir Jacket. I had recently had my birthday and my parents had given me a gift certificate to an outdoor shop, so the excitement was big. But it turned out that there were no more Pamir Jackets left. The only type left in the shop was a black Arc'Teryx Gamma SV Jacket. It was a whole lot more than I had planned to give. But what the heck. I still think that it was the best buy ever.

It has the quality and design to be used both in the field and at a street café, it works even in the Royal Theater, in the summer and in the winter. It hasn't been off me much since then. I later bought both a Anabatic Jacket and a Theta AR, both nice products of extremely high quality and workmanship, but still my Gamma is my favorite, the jacket for multipurpose use.

Warning: you will become addicted to this piece of equipment, it is then nice that it is so well designed.

Later on I was going to give my girlfriend a Gamma—But the female jacket is unfortunately designed for girls with a lot bigger breasts than my girlfriend, so no Arc for her at this time.
