Product Information
Full details
The Arc'teryx Gamma Hooded Jacket is an essential softshell designed for active adults who demand mobility and weather protection during hiking, climbing, or backcountry skinning. It offers the perfect balance of wind resistance and high-output breathability, allowing you to regulate temperature during strenuous physical activity. While it is incredibly durable and versatile, users should note that as a softshell, it is highly water-resistant rather than fully waterproof, meaning it will require a hard shell layer in sustained, heavy rainfall.

FAQs
Is the Gamma Hooded Jacket waterproof?
No, it is highly water-resistant. It will keep you dry in light rain and snow, but it is not a seam-sealed waterproof hard shell.
What is the primary material used?
The jacket is constructed from durable, high-performance nylon with mechanical stretch properties.
Can I wear this in the winter?
Yes, it functions well as a wind-resistant outer layer in cold, dry winter conditions when layered with an insulating mid-layer.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a specialized technical fabric detergent, then tumble dry on low heat.
Does the hood fit a climbing helmet?
Yes, the StormHood is specifically designed to fit over standard climbing helmets.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the fabric surface
The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the finish, or apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.
Hood feels restrictive
Adjust the single-point pull at the back of the hood to create more volume and better articulation for your helmet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, always wash it in a front-loading machine with a technical garment cleaner to preserve the fabric's integrity. Avoid using fabric softeners or heavy detergents that can clog the breathable weave. For compatibility, the jacket is designed as a modular piece in the Arc'teryx layering system; it fits comfortably over base layers or light fleece mid-layers. Use the single-point hood adjuster to customize the fit around your head or helmet before starting your activity. Periodically reapplying a DWR treatment will maintain the jacket's ability to shed water effectively.
