Product Information
Full details
The Arc'teryx Gamma Hoody is a high-performance softshell jacket designed for active men who prioritize mobility and weather resistance during fast-hiking, climbing, or bouldering. It delivers exceptional breathability and freedom of movement thanks to its specialized fabric construction, though users should note it is designed as a technical mid-layer or light outer shell and is not intended for heavy, sustained downpour protection.

FAQs
Is the Gamma Hoody waterproof?
The Gamma Hoody is weather-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain and wind, but it is not a fully waterproof hardshell jacket.
Can I wear a helmet under the hood?
Yes, the StormHood is specifically designed to be compatible with most climbing helmets.
What is the best way to clean this jacket?
Machine wash on a warm, gentle cycle with technical soap, then tumble dry on low heat to maintain the fabric's integrity.
Does this jacket have insulation?
It features a brushed backer that provides a light amount of warmth, but it is primarily intended for active use rather than static warmth.
Is the fit true to size?
The jacket features a regular fit. If you plan to wear heavy layers underneath, you might consider your standard size, as the cut is designed for technical mobility.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the surface
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and tumble dry on low to reactivate it, or apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to pull
Clear any grit or debris from the zipper tracks using a soft brush. If it remains stiff, apply a specialized zipper lubricant.
Pros and Cons

- Excellent balance of breathability and weather resistance

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gamma Hoody remains weather-resistant and functional, proper care is essential.
- Compatibility: The regular fit allows for a light base layer or a thin fleece underneath. It is designed to work seamlessly with climbing helmets and standard technical packs.
- Washing: Machine wash in warm water (40°C) on a gentle cycle. Use a technical fabric cleaner or mild detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the water-repellent finish. Avoid high heat as it can damage the nylon fibers.
- Maintenance: Periodically reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray if water stops beading on the surface of the fabric.
