Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Gamma Lightweight Pants

These pants provide great wind protection and adequate water resistance. I prefer these over the standard gamma pants for their comfort and use during warmer weather. They are super light and you barely feel they're on. The belt enclosure is high quality and the fit is pretty good. I'm 6' and the length is slightly long but not unbearable. I probably would have preferred the short inseam but I never see the color and size option in stock. Overall pretty happy with these pants !

Really light, perfect for summer. They do a short leg version which I really appreciate as I have found other pants slightly too long in the past. Slim fit with adjustable cords near the ankles so they can be tapered in. This makes them look fashionable with trainers as well as being ideal for their intended use of walking / hiking.

I bought two pairs of these years ago and have been extremely happy with every bit of them. I am 6'5" tall with a very long inseam. finding active hiking/climbing pants is nearly impossible. I ordered the 32 waist pant in their tall option and found it was perfect! Besides the great fit, these pants are very durable and well featured. I love the integrated webbing belt that lies flat and is not noticeable under my hip belt or climbing harness. The zipper pockets are low profile too and keep everything where you put it. The fabric on these pants has stood up to many many days in the field. Unlike other softshell pants I have tried, this fabric still looks and feels new after years of use. I keep waiting for the pants to wear out to purchase another couple pairs, but I'm still on my original set.

Another great pair of trousers, not as light weight as my last pair of Gamma's. Super comfy for wearing all day and surprisingly durable. Super fast drying and the usual great build quality. Not the most generous of fitting so if you are in between go up.

Had these for a few years. Great for what they are- lightweight pants, not like Gamma MX which are bomb-proof. The L pocket delaminated so I sent them back to Arc'teryx. The repair was phenomenal - I couldn't tell there had ever been a problem. Well done Arc'teryx!

Love these pants. I hike and climb in them in Montana. Pricey but definitely worth it.

super comfortable and handles things like abrasion and pricker bushes and the like no problem, not a single rip or fray: amazing especially considering how light and then. Pretty good at stopping wind too so a base layer extends the usefulness of the pants.

"You will never get that blood out". I wasn't so sure, but after five days in the San Juans, I figured that the blood stain was set, and I would have to accept the stain as a conversation starter - no more wearing them out with my wife as my Cookie-Monster-Blue Grandpa Pants. When I got home, I found that one normal wash and the blood stain had come out. My buddy owes me twenty-five cents. A bet is a bet. And there was NO laundry sorcery needed. Not only that, but these pants really held up. I should also mention they stayed up - I really like the built-in belt. When we were off trail, we were post-holing in on snow over blowdown and deadfall any step could leave me crotch-deep; every time my leg went through, I wondered if I had been impaled. It was cold enough not to feel it. That is how I got the blood stain - post-holing and being stabbed by a downed tree beneath the snow. Oddly enough, my skin was impaled and bloody, but the pants were not. These pants stretch and stay tough. They breathe and repel water and wind. I highly recommend these pants. Best piece of new gear on the trip for me, and this was the "new gear" trip. No bells and whistles, just exceeding expectations in a quiet way.

I bought these pants two months ago for mainly hiking and some occasional bouldering. Love how breathable and light these are. The main selling point of these pants was that they offered a short inseam length - I'm not the tallest person at 5'5" and having the option of a shorter inseam for pants is a big plus for me.

I've had these pants for a couple months, they've climbed long multpitch routes, soaked in the rain and dried remarkably quick, crossed glaciers, stalked black tail deer, and simply been put to the outdoor test. Love them! No rips, no tearing, zippers in tact. Ankle cinch works great for various activities as well. Thank you for the great product!

I bought this for a hiking trip to montana. They performed great

Great pant for hiking in 40-50 degree weather, or wearing over long underwear in slightly colder temps. Very wind-resistant and handles water well despite being lightweight and doesn't overheat even on humid days. A shoulder-season staple for sure!

They have changed the LT pant fabric type to what they had used on Lefroy LT pant. I like the light and breathable feelings. Hope they will keep it!

I bought these in the 34 waist Small, even tho my inseam is 83, the small fits much nicer. I used these recently to go up snowdon and i was very impressed by the way the rain could evaporate so easily and how breathable they were. Washing is very simple and can easily be cleaned from any marks. Highly recommend these pants!

This is my go to pant for summer alpine and rock climbing. The tall sizes are true tall with good ankle coverage. I'm glad the fit has been changed back (from sizing 4-5 years ago) to a more relaxed cuff and now fits better over the ankles too. Love this pant and if the sizing stays the same will contain to buy more pairs year after year.

I bought this gear 1 month ago and I love its cut and air permeability. Though it's a little difficult to clean up after getting stained with oil, besides I will definitely recommend it to you!

Very versatile pants. I've used it in weather ranging from the 40s to 100s. No issues at all. Fabric is durable and I have not seen any issues so far. Already bought it in black as well to double-up since I liked the product so much.

Very happy with this purchase. The pants are as described, a good fit and very comfortable. Got what I wanted. Great service.

I bought this pair to hike in the summer and i think i've made the right choice. Extremely breathable and light even in hot weather. As always Arc'teryx doesn't disappoint. I wouldn't suggest this specific pair of pants in the winter if you are a cold sensitive person; for that purpose Gamma Ar is great.

This is lighweight pants and very comfortable. Zappos provides option with short inseam. It fits better, so I buy it. Hope Zappos could provide more short inseam for most classic Acryteryx pants.

I recently purchased these pants for my trip to Georgia, and I must say, they have exceeded my expectations. Throughout my 6-7 days of hiking, I wore these pants consistently, and their exceptional breathability and lightness set them apart from any other pants I've tried. The weatherproof feature held up remarkably well, and the design itself is nothing short of brilliant. I honestly couldn't find a single flaw with this product. It's important to note that these pants are meant to be lightweight, so if you're seeking warmth, layering them with a base layer would be ideal. Overall, I am thoroughly impressed with these pants and highly recommend them for any outdoor adventure.

Love these pants. The color, the pocket placement, the water resistance, and how durable they are for the weight.

The Gamma Lightweight (formerly SL) is like the previous fit version of the Gamma LT ('slimmer' fit versus the 'regular' updated current fit) with the Lefroy fabric. If you like a slimmer fit and want a lighter weight pant this is it.

So happy, i really do like the pants. So comforting on hikes

I have many pairs of the regular Gamma pant. I wear them in the office and out on the trails. I was excited about the Solitude color, for a lighter summer color. However these pants in this Solitude color, are see-through. I was wearing white trunks and they were visible through the light grey color of Solitude. I asked my partner, who's response was "Those are not appropriate for the office." They were promptly returned. Hey Arcteryx design team, how did you not notice this Solitude fabric was see through?
