The Arc'teryx Gamma LT remains a top performer in this category, and we heartily recommend it with our highest accolades. This jacket is everything you want in a piece of clothing meant for activity in the mountains while also being stylish enough to use in casual settings. It fits well thanks to expertly tailored panels, moves with your body during the most aerobic activity, and breathes well thanks to an unlined, wicking softshell fabric. 
Arc'teryx garments are known for being expertly crafted, and the Gamma LT is no exception. Certain features, such as adjustable wrist cuffs, would make it even better, but we still recommend it as one of the best softshells you can buy.

 Again, you can see the length on this is a little bit longer than the non-hooded version. Okay, comes right on around and I'll throw on the non-hooded version on top as well. So between the Gamma Sl, this Gamma Lt and the Gamma Mx I, I really think that the Gamma Sl is sized a little bit larger. It seems to give a little extra room than the the Lt and the Mx

 But a lot of times in the summer if it's just a cool damp kind of drizzly day and I'm going out to the mall or something. Um, you know, if it's not porn, I don't need a hard shell. I don't need a hood, but this is just a nice enough layer to help keep you dry and keep you a little warm. It's really comfortable

 Okay, there's not a lot of room here now. This is a stretchy material. It definitely has some stretch to it, but it's going to be tight. Okay, I'll put on my Cerium Lt in a minute and show you how that fits

 Um, so a couple features of this jacket that I'd like to go over one of them is the sleeves and the armpits. Now I don't know that if this is an older version, if it's any different in the newer version, but for me on this one, the jacket is actually cut pretty trim. okay. It's a pretty trim fitting coat, but under the arms and the sleeves you will see here, there's not a lot of extra material

Arc'teryx Gamma LT Review

  Used during spring belays with a down sweater hoody for insulation.  Might be a tad heavy for light backpackers.

protective aerobic softshell

 This jacket has a high degree of stretch and gusseted underarms, allowing for unhindered movement during intense activity while maintaining a body contouring fit. It can only accommodate light to midweight layers underneath without compromising the loft. The polyester interior surface has a light texture, providing the sensation of warmth on bare skin. While not being soft handed, the texture didn’t feel uncomfortably rough

 All these pockets are on the small side, the hand warmer pockets barely accommodating moderately sized gloved hands. The interior pocket just fits an iPhone 6. The top of the main zip features a “No Slip Zip;” bumps on the first few teeth prevent accidental opening. The main zip also has a minimal storm flap and small chin guard

CompressibilityThis hoody’s mostly single layer construction, lack of superfluous features and being the lightest in this test allowed it to have superior packability. Cramming the Arc’teryx Gamma LT Hoody into the most compact of spaces is no problem and the durable fabric is tolerant of whatever surrounds it in the pack.

 If you know what Actrix is, it's a Canadian outdoor clothing and climbing gear brand founded in 1989 by Jeremy Guard and Dave Lane. Within the past year or so, this brand has become a lot more popular within the streetwear scene, despite it being more on the techweb side of things due to its material, design and functionality. This brown can be seen on the likes of Drake, Roger Able, so like most things in the street, was seen, it caught on like wildfire, But for me, I was looking for a nice light jacket to rock when I'm out and about, but I didn't want to feel too warm at the same time. So after some reach of my own, it came down to this jacket, the Gamma Lt hoodie Lt standing for lightweight which was my priority with the jacket

So after some reach of my own, it came down to this jacket, the Gamma Lt hoodie Lt standing for lightweight which was my priority with the jacket. I went to a local outdoor clothing store called Cotswolds to see if I could find the model to try on to determine my size, which I would highly recommend if possible for you guys if you are considering anything really. just to be able to try to install is definitely a benefit

Though the brand name and material may both be new to the scene, the two are working in conjunction to set a high bar when it comes to lightweight, technical clothing. The NW Alpine Spectra is just one piece in a line that is the first in the world to incorporate Spectra fiber &mdash; an innovative material that is engineered to be lighter and stronger than Kevlar. This highly technical, highly breathable, ultra-lightweight layer is able to easily withstand normal abrasion, rips, and tears, yet it is as soft next-to-skin as merino wool. No longer do mountain athletes have to sacrifice durability to save weight, nor do they have to substitute comfort for performance.
Though it is a versatile, lightweight option, the Spectra won't provide you with any of the insulation you may need to make it through the coldest days of winter. Despite all of the advances this top is making in the world of base layers, it still falls victim to some common pitfalls of full synthetics &mdash; even casual efforts leave this top smelling as if you just pushed for an FKT. So while you may find yourself washing this top more than usual, you can rest assured knowing that the Spectra Long Sleeve won't wear out quickly. This ultra-durable lightweight base layer is built for the rigors of rock climbing but performs equally well as a trail running top or for working hard in the skin track when backcountry skiing. If you're looking for a lightweight base layer, this is the best we've tested.

Best Base Layer of 2022 - GearLab

ValueI’m prone to spending $20 on a pound of fresh-roasted Kenyan coffee and $15 for a sixer of my favorite local IPA, so take my rating here with several grains of pink Himalayan finishing-salt. The Fast/Light is on the heavy side. Its hood could use improvement. It costs a bit more than many other softies of similar performance

 It does not want to hear about how sometimes you’ll wear it with your nice corduroy pants. It most certainly doesn’t give a single shit about where you like to carry your phone.

Mobility/Comfort While the Fast/Light moniker isn’t the most apt for this jacket, I totally get why the NW Alpine crew decided against more descriptive names: Unencumbered/Cozy or Snug/Fluid just don’t have the same ring, somehow. Names aside, this long-armed and close-cut piece delivered outstanding comfort and flexibility during even my most gymnastic efforts.

Weight Considering its trim fit, single pocket, and simple design ethic, I fully expected the Fast/Light to be, well, lighter.  Once I’d experienced its warmth and general burliness, however, I felt that the extra ounces were well-spent.

 While the DWR-coated ripstop nylon won’t keep you dry long in a deluge, it also won’t keep you soaked in your own sweat since it breathes like a fiend. The cut is baggy and unflattering, but we assume you’re not out there for the looks.Buy now: $120  This content is created and maintained by a third party, and imported onto this page to help users provide their email addresses.

 We put it on at the beginning of a three-day hike in the White Mountains and didn’t take off until we stepped out of the woods. The PowerDry material is just the right weight on its own for comfort in the 40-60 degree temperature range during high-exertion activities. It pulled sweat away effectively and warded off the chill above tree line. The pocket was perfect for an energy gel and the hood was great when the mountain breeze picked up and while sleeping at night

 One of those is NW Alpine, based in that outdoor playground, Portland, Oregon.MORE HANDS-ON REVIEWS: Bontrager Aura 5 TLR | Brazen Coffee Brewer | Billingham Hadley Shoulder BagRather than trying to be all things to all people by selling board shorts and running shoes, NW Alpine focuses only on making minimalist, durable mountaineering and rock climbing clothing. Its lineup is small but covers the basics of base, insulation and shell layers with a theme of brutal minimalism — less pockets, toggles and elastic, all of which means there’s less to break, rip or snag when you’re facing an overhang 1,000 feet off the deck. We’d like to think that this is how the big brands used to be: climbers making gear for climbers with an obsessive eye for function and quality

Tested: NW Alpine

 This type of Polartec fabric was new to me and it is really comfortable worn directly over skin. The thumb loops are welcome when slipping my wind shell on and the hood has a nice snug fit that works great under both my ski and climbing helmets. The zippered chest pocket was a great size for my iPhone (and convenient to keep it close and warm). Summary

 The zippered chest pocket was a great size for my iPhone (and convenient to keep it close and warm). Summary

I went with a size large which was an athletic but not too snug fit for my 5’9″ 180 lb 42 inch chest. It was a more casual but functional fit for Erik who is 5’8″, 160 lb. To select the right fit just use the size chart above and the best measurement to refer to would be chest size.

Gear Review- NW Alpine Black Spider Hoody

NW Alpine products measure up price-wise with other high end clothing companies: A Polartec Black Spider Hoodie is $110; climbing-inspired Mens and Womens Fast/Light softshell jackets cost $220; and the 4.9 ounce Eyebright Jacket (the company calls it “the lightest fully featured waterproof/breathable jacket on the market”) made with Dyneema and eVent membrane is $600.

The gear has been through tough conditions such as the ascents of the Northwest Face of Mount Dickey and the 6,400-meter Hispar Sar in Pakistan.
