The Arc'teryx Gamma MX received a functional mid-cycle update in its 2025/2026 production compared to the 2024 version, introducing an eco-friendly PFAS-free DWR coating, a streamlined smaller hood, and tighter ergonomic cuffs, alongside brand-wide price increases.
Great all around multi-season jacket. The fleece lining can be a little grippy, but this is one of my favorite coats for Fall to Spring hiking. Very durable outer shell. Arc is a little overpriced for sure so it might not play super well here on SD, but this is a good price for this coat.
This jacket is much higher quality than any Columbia jacket under $100. a lot of Columbia jackets are garbage. yeah this is an expensive and now a mainstream (pick me) city walking jacket brand, but comparing the two is silly.

99% of these jackets sold, if not 100% will be worn by people who don't need this "quality" of jacket. If you're stationed at mcmurdo, sure, you need a $400 jacket that performs like this, for the rest of "normal" people, the difference in quality between a Columbia and an Arc'teryx is completely useless. I would argue defending a $400 jacket is silly. This is a status symbol for our monkey brains, another shiny rock that is shinier than the other monkey's rock. How much of life is controlled (ruined) by low self esteem...
