Description of Mountain Hardwear Beryllium Jacket - Men's: |
|
The Mountain Hardwear Men's Beryllium Jacket provides you with the articulated cut, waterproof fabric, and wicking properties you need for a multi-pitch ice climb. Mountain Hardwear's extremely durable, lightweight FTX Lite face fabric combines with Gore-Tex Pro Shell for bombproof abrasion and weather resistance. The Micro-Grid Backer wicks moisture on that gnarly second pitch, and the micro chamois-lined collar eliminates chin irritation. When you reach a belay station, unzip the pit vents and let off some steam. The Beryllium Jacket's hand pockets stay accessible when you wear a harness, and an inner water bottle pocket keeps you hydrated on the ascent. The single-pull hood cord quickly seals out cold while your other hand stays on your ice tools.
Bottom Line: Cross glaciers and climb ice falls in the Mountain Hardwear Men's Beryllium Jacket.

| Review update.... 04-05-08 |
Chris Whelan (2):  |
| Have since added ice climbing and a 6 day Wapta Icefield traverse to this jacket's resume, and can now speak to how it performs during its intended usage: Exceptional! My early durability concerns have proven unfounded, as I have beat this thing senseless this winter, crashing into trees, catching it on crampon spikes (although not razor sharp ones), stuffing it into packs beside gouged shovel blades - it holds up. It is now a filthy brown rather than the bright orange at time of purchase (stains easily), but keeps me just as dry as ever. It dries out very quickly from body heat or when hanging in the hut/tent. The hood is beautiful - the one draw string system works fabulously, the brim stiffener actually keeps water away from your face while maintaining good visibility, and it rolls away snugly. The pockets are great, and the Micro-Grid liner is comfortable. As stated in my previous review, the only complaint is that the "roomy all-mountain cut" is not quite as roomy as expected. A fantastic piece of gear. |

| Durable All Mountain Jacket 12-29-08 |
Erich.M.Kr1657313 (1):  |
| I went back and forth between the ARC'TERYX Theta AR, OR Mentor and this jacket for a few weeks. I ended up going with the Beryllium mainly because I got a good deal on it. Overall I like the jacket a lot and it will suit my demands for the next couple years (14er Mountaineering, US Alpine Climbing, Ski Touring, PNW Backpacking, everyday abuse). The fit is good and as expected, I'm 6'0 155 skinny-med build. I wear a MED is every brand of outdoor clothing and the size medium fits great, sleeves are a little long (even for overhead reaching, climbing) but it's not to bad and I see this with almost all shells. I love the hood, helmet compatible, one hand drawchord works awesome. Jacket has a drawchord about a quarter the way up the bottom of the jacket (similar to where a snowskirt would be), I'm not exactly sure the idea behind that but I guess while alpine/rock climbing you could make it tight and leave the bottom drawchord loose so that it lays over your harness. I played around with it and don’t see the jacket gaining much from it. The only other thing I really don't like about this jacket is the double flap front zip. Waterproof zippers have proven their durability over the years and everyone has moved them so I'm a little confused why Mtn Hrdwr went with the old school design in that area. I also would have liked to see some reinforced material on shoulders/sleeves. Used the jacket in the rain and in heavy snow and it performs excellent as you would expect; GORE TEX PRO is the best out there. I think the Theta AR and Mentor are burlier jackets overall and for the same price I would pick one of the other mentioned. That being said this is a great jacket that I anticipate getting years of good use out of, I have no concerns using it on my winter mountaineering trips! |

| Great light weight - maybe not for resort skiing 02-15-08 |
| Chris Whelan (2): |
| I bought this coat being unable to find one in a retail store to try it on for fit first. After trying on similar style Arc'Teryx coats, I decided small was the size for me - but the Beryllium is cut noticeably smaller than the A'T small, especially in the sleeves. Kept the small, but could've done with a medium. This coat has a beautifully designed hood, has kept me dry and snow free in over 25 days at Whistler this winter, as well as walking the dog for hours in heavy downpour in Squamish, and sweaty, heavy touring days. The only thing I would say is if you're primarily buying this shell for resort skiing, you might want a heavier one. Gets quite chilly in wind or on the chairlift, and small cut does not allow me to wear a down layer underneat. |
