Why Choose the Gamma Pant?
The Arc'teryx Gamma Pant is a highly popular choice for outdoor enthusiasts seeking proper, durable softshell pants. Designed for climbing, but I use it for hiking and casual wear. The pants are made from an 88% nylon, 12% elastane blend for stretch and durability. The DWR treatment offers weather resistance, keeping me dry in light rain. They are extremely comfortable with a four-way stretch, articulated fit, and gusseted crotch. The zippered pockets are clutch when hiking or travelling, and the adjustable waistband is a nice touch.
