Product Information

Full details

The Arc'teryx Gamma Hoody is a versatile, weather-resistant softshell designed for active adults who engage in high-output mountain activities like hiking, climbing, and bouldering. It delivers exceptional breathability and unrestricted mobility through its articulated nylon construction, making it an essential layer for rugged terrain; however, users should note that while it is weather-resistant, it is not fully waterproof and serves best as a highly protective mid-layer or outer shell during dry to moderately damp conditions.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the Gamma Hoody waterproof?

No, it is weather-resistant. It is designed to handle light precipitation and wind but will eventually soak through in heavy or continuous rain.

Can I wear a helmet under the hood?

The StormHood is designed to be helmet-compatible, meaning it fits over most standard climbing and ski helmets.

How does the sizing run?

The Gamma Hoody features a regular fit, which is designed to be true to size while allowing space for light layering underneath.

Is this jacket suitable for winter sports?

It is an excellent choice for high-output winter activities like cross-country skiing or climbing, but you may need an additional insulating layer for stationary activities in extreme cold.

How do I store the jacket?

Store it hanging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain the integrity of the fabric.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking into the fabric surface

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate, or apply a spray-on DWR treatment.

Zippers are sticking or difficult to pull

Clear any debris or grit from the zipper track using a soft brush. If it remains stiff, apply a light touch of zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Gamma Hoody, always follow the care label instructions. Wash in a front-load washing machine on a gentle cycle using a mild technical garment detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the breathable, water-resistant properties of the fabric. To maintain the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, tumble dry on low heat periodically, which helps reactivate the water-shedding capabilities. The jacket is designed to be worn over base layers or light mid-layers; its regular fit works best when paired with slim-fitting technical tops to prevent bunching.
