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.

Arc’teryx Gamma LT Hoody Review | Gear Institute

 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

[music] Hello guys, welcome back to another video. I appreciate you guys for tuning in. it's your boy Edmund Today is an unboxing slash pickup. I recently picked up the Arcturex Gamma Lt hoodie from the 2021 season

Arc’teryx Gamma LT Hoody  | The perfect lightweight jacket? | Unboxing/Review

 Durable outer face fabric. Minimal insulation. Athletic fit - meant for light to medium insulation layers underneath. Water resistant and windproof

The Outdoor Research Ferrosi Hoodie is a fantastic value. It ticks nearly every box that a durable wind layer for climbing or hiking should. It is lightweight, wind-resistant, breathable, abrasion-resistant, and highly stretchy. It has great features for the price &mdash; including a pocket that doubles as a stuff sack, so you can clip your jacket to your harness when not in use. It moves incredibly well, owing to the ultra-stretchy fabric, and even though it isn't very water-resistant, it is among the fastest drying active softshells in our review. It even has UPF-50 fabric to protect your skin from the sun. Add to all of this the fact that it is a very affordable jacket, and it is no wonder why this jacket is the staple softshell for most outdoor adventure nerds.
Our reviews wouldn't be objective if we ignored a product's flaws, and the Ferrosi is not without its minor caveats. Compared to other softshells, it has below-average water resistance, but it does dry quickly and offers great 3-season protection. The fit is a little on the boxy side, so if you're between sizes, you might consider sizing down. We also wish that the hand pockets were accessible while wearing a harness or the hip belt of a backpack. All these concerns aside, the Ferrosi is a great breathable, wind-resistant option at a fantastic price for hiking, climbing, and cycling.

The Outdoor Research Echo Hoodie has some unique features that make it an excellent addition for any activewear junkie. First, this lightweight sun top has switched from the fold-over cuffs of old to well-designed thumbholes that are comfortable to wear, even when on the move. Secondly, the Echo has a hole in its hood for your ponytail. Though this isn't the most stylish look, it certainly is very functional. Beyond these two unique features, this hoody is absurdly lightweight and impressively breathable. It is one of only a couple of shirts we tested that we could comfortably wear in the hot sun without pushing up the sleeves &mdash; precisely why it's great for days when you're pushing hard or in more intense heat. 
For all its other utilities, the Echo lacks pockets and has the lowest UPF value of any sun shirt we tested; just 20 for dark colors and only 15 for light colors. Most others are 35-50+, so this is underwhelming. And while we adore the breathability of this thin, quick-drying fabric, it's not particularly smooth, and we've had repeated issues with snagging in past versions. Though this current version didn't snag during our testing, it's made of the same fabric, so we expect the same to occur. Still, while the Echo may not continue to look pristine through the years, the quirky traits this top brings to the table make it super useful &mdash; and we love the bold colors it comes in too.

The Outdoor Research Carbide shines in its extremely breathable and comfortable shell material. The 3L Pertex shield material is one of the most breathable and comfortable materials we've worked with. The DWR coating of this material is also convincing, providing excellent weather protection for its weight. Combine all of this with ski-specific features to take you from the resort to the backcountry, and you have a stellar value for an excellent price. 
While this stretchy 3L provides excellent breathability and water resistance, we did feel the more biting winds permeate this thin material. This more backcountry-oriented shell is so thin that we have some questions about how it will hold up to the test of time, but after over a month of use, we have no reason to believe it will perform poorly. If we had just one wish for this jacket, it would be that the powder skirt was removable. This upgrade would knock this jacket out of the park. These small criticisms aside, we believe the Carbide performs similarly to many high-end shells on the market at a fraction of the price. 

The Outdoor Research Aspire continues to impress us. It scores high marks across the board; from water resistance to breathability, it comes fully equipped with all the bells and whistles. It's an impressive contender, proudly sporting a smooth, soft fabric and flattering fit. The substantial Gore-Tex, Paclite integrated fabric design will withstand and keep you protected from even the heaviest of downpours. It comes fully featured with reinforced, sealed seams and water-resistant zippers. It also sports an adjustable hood, hip cinches, and both elastic and Velcro to seal around your wrists to keep you protected in inclement weather. Being so watertight might sound awfully stuffy, but don't be fooled; the pit vents extend the full length of this jacket and can be fully opened either from the top or poncho-style from the bottom for a quick and easy way to shed excess body heat &mdash; and are surprisingly comfortable. When it comes to balancing protection and performance, the designers have covered their bases, with the Aspire earning our highest accolades for its design, fit, and performance.
Weighing 11.4 ounces, the Aspire is one of the heavier jackets we tested. Considering all the extra zipper length on the full-length side vents as well as the waterproof, dual-direction main zipper, we think this weight is justifiable. It also packs down into its own pocket, complete with a clip for easy attachment to your harness or pack. For an impressive merging of wind and water protection with serious breathability, look no further.

Best Softshell Jackets for Women of 2022 - GearLab

 So some basic design features on how the fro Z was put together. You can see the two different two different colors here, and that is kind of setup is two different types of fabric. The body of this piece in the darker color across the back is extremely breathable. So if you're wearing a pack against this you're going to get a lot of moisture, vapor passing through you're, not going to have that same feeling, you get under a hard shell, where you're wearing a packer just sweating like crazy

 Maybe somebody who's doing some cross-country. Skiing and warmer weather somebody who's doing a lot of rock climbing, and I think, I'm just for general hiking and backpacking to be very comfortable piece to wear under a pack.

Outdoor Research Women's Ferrosi Hoody

 It is a wonderful weight, not too heavy, but not so light that it isn't helpful. The sleeve length works really well for me so it's comfortable using the thumb holes or not. It's got the right amount of stretch to be comfortable worn inside as a hoodie, or outside as a wind, water and abrasion resistant light jacket. I'm 5'7", 140# with and athletic build and often struggle to find a good fit because of broad shoulders, but the small fits me well

Even better than expected

 My only complaint is that the XS is pretty big on my 5'1, 98 lb frame (it looks like I'm wearing somebody else's jacket). I kept the jacket anyway because it's useful and fills a necessary hole in my jacket lineup--perfect for the windy days we get in Colorado.

Great, just a little big

This is my all-time favourite jacket for field work in the summer months (I am a biologist). It is very durable! I have to pass through barbed wire fences and bushwhack through the forest so my field work clothes get trashed - this is the first jacket I have owned that has not been a victim to fences and the forest! I have gotten it caught on the barbed wire fences and forest branches many times but have not had a hole yet - only snags. It it not completely waterproof, but if you got stuck in a light rain and quickly hike back to the truck, you are not soaking wet. This jacket is also very light weight which I love - perfect for when the bugs are bad on a hot summer day

My all-time favourite jacket!

 Working I'm inside outside back and forth all day long. Rain takes a long time to soak through, they dry instantly, and they move with me. A light puffy fits underneath when the temps drop. I run in them with a light base layer in western Washington winters

Now this dark blue material on the arms on the shoulders and the hood

 You'Ve got a full length zipper down at the bottom. You do have a stretchy draw cord that comes out to one side, so you can cinch that down. If you need to kind of hold in the heat a little bit more, you've got two hand, level pockets and one side of the pocket does have a loop on the inside. You can hang that from a harness or hang that from a back and that pocket turns inside out and the jacket actually stuffs into that pocket so nice hand level hand warmer pockets there

 If you're climbing it's gon na, come in contact with brush if you're wearing a backpack, you got backpack straps on there, so you really need durability in those areas, and this piece is durable. There it's going to last a long time going through the features here. You'Ve got a full length zipper down at the bottom. You do have a stretchy draw cord that comes out to one side, so you can cinch that down

 So you can warm your hands in there or the jacket actually stuffs down into one of these pockets, and there is a key clip on the inside. The pockets here are actually mesh on the inside. So if you open them up, you actually have an extra vent. So, if you're really moving fat and want to dump some extra heat open, those pockets have another chest pocket and that's great for something small like a chapstick

 So it's the perfect piece to almost wear year-round. The features here are really simple: you have a full length zipper and down at the hem. You have a stretchy draw cord that comes out to one side. The hem is dropped in the back, so if you're wearing a harness or a backpack with the hip belt, it's not going to ride up on you two hand level pockets
