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

I have been pleasantly surprised with this hoody. It has great features, pocket options, fit adjustment sinches, and overall comfort. Jacket has performed to -5 C to +5 C in Canada. The inner mesh holds your temperature more than I expected and allows stabilizes your body temperature in combination with the Pertex shell. The only drawback in the Pertex stains easy but that's the trade-off for the Danton · mountainhardwear.ca
