I want a softshell that breathes first and foremost. This Gamma Lightweight is excellent in this. That makes it a 4 season jacket- more layers in winter, less in summer, but it wears all day long because it breathes (IMHO). After that, the fit is a perfect Medium- 5'11" and 180lbs. Can layer a bit, but fine with a light layer too. Stretch and comfort are best in any of the many jackets I've had. A Smitty · arcteryx.com

Love how functional, yet stylish this jacket is. It could be (depending where you live) your all in one jacket. For going to work, or climbing a mountain, or biking. It’s been -20C where I live, and with the right layering, it’s been great! Breathable, yet keeps the wind chill out - and doesn’t become mega crunchy like most jackets (this has more of a soft crunch). The waterproofing is amazing!! W Jonathon B. · altitude-sports.com
