This is it! I have spent the last year on a quest for the best softshell. TNF, Mtn Hardwear, Marmot, Patagonia, Outdoor Research, and Arcteryx. I've tried probably 15 jackets. The Gamma SV is definitely the best of the bunch. The fleece lining keeps you warm, the polartec powershield is tough and yet stretchy. Drop tail in the back. Hip length in front. Collar detached from the hood. Get the jacket in your size and it will fit. I'm 5'10" 170lbs. Medium is perfect. Buy this jacket!!!

Great techincal soft-shell for all but the heaviest downpour Amazingly breathable, yet windproof and warm jacket. The fit is fairly athletic, so not a whole lot of room for layering bulky insulation underneath, but for all but the chilliest days, this is a cozy shelter. There is very little lift in the body when reaching overhead, and overall mobility is excellent. The jacket is also extremely light and thus is not in any way restricting when scrambling, skiing, hiking etc... I cannot comment on the long-term durability of the jacket as I have only had it a relatively short time, but I am optimistic about the Polartec material as thus far, it seems very tough, shrugging off tree branches, thorns and the like easily. The hood, being designed for a helmet, is absurdly large for a bare head, which can be irritating if it starts to rain anywhere one finds oneself without a helmet (which I personally find is most of the time). That's about the only complaint tho!

Is this Handy? - Yes - No

Good quality Fits a bit loose, I am 5'10" 165lb, 40" chest, but this medium fits a bit big.
