View QC PhotosQuick verdict
A four-way stretch pant with a water-repellent finish, offered in a short cut across sizes 30–36 with roughly 5cm of waist and hem adjustment. The published review record covers the Gamma Pant line rather than this listing, so size from the chart and treat the fabric description as catalog copy.

Buy if
For a buyer who wants a stretchy, water-repellent black pant for commuting and light hiking and is content to size from the listed chart. Gamma-line reviews support durability and weather resistance for rugged, cool-weather wear.
Skip if
If you need strong breathability for hot, high-output work, skip it: one independent outlet scored Gamma venting around 5/10. Skip it too if you need the exact fit of a particular Gamma production year, since the line's sizing has shifted.

Buying FAQ
Work from the listing's own chart (waist 80–95cm, inseam 76–79cm) plus the roughly 5cm waist adjustment. The listing advises sizing up for a looser fit and down for a slimmer one.
The listing describes a four-way stretch fabric with a water-repellent finish, which sheds light rain rather than blocking sustained water. Gamma Pant reviews rate weather resistance well for rugged, cooler-conditions use.
Per the listing, yes: YKK zips on the slash pockets and a metal-buckle belt that also works as a waist adjuster. Gamma Pant reviewers count both among the line's stronger features.
For the Gamma line, one independent outlet scored venting and breathability about 5/10 while praising comfort and mobility, so the cut reads as better suited to cool and shoulder-season days than hot, high-output ones.
The listing gives inseams of 76–79cm across sizes 30–36, a hem drawcord with about 5cm of adjustment, and describes the cut as short.
Evidence
Reviewers describe the Gamma Pant as durable with strong weather resistance, making it a good choice for rugged use in cooler conditions.
SourceOne independent review outlet scored the Gamma Pant's venting and breathability low (about 5/10) while still praising its comfort and mobility.
SourceReviewers rate the Gamma Pant's materials and construction highly, pointing to features like zip pockets and a built-in belt as part of a strong feature set.
SourceOwners report that Gamma pants hold up well over long-term everyday wear, with good durability cited after extended use.
SourceArc'teryx Gamma Pant sizing has changed across production years: pre-2015 pairs run tight and true to size, while 2015-2022 pairs run looser/baggier, so buyers should confirm which version they are getting before ordering.
SourceSome owners report needing to size up in Arc'teryx pants compared with other outdoor brands (wearing one size larger in Arc pants than their usual size).
SourceFor women's Gamma pants, owners advise against sizing up because the built-in belt makes overly loose pants annoying to keep tightened.
SourceThe Gamma Pant was later renamed/became the Gamma SL with added waist sizes, and long-time owners note the naming and sizing changes made the fit less predictable.
