Mountain Hardwear Beryllium Jacket - Men's

For serious mountain expeditions where epic conditions are all but guaranteed, the Mountain Hardwear Men’s Beryllium Jacket features waterproof breathable Gore-Tex Pro Shell fabric for complete and utter protection from the elements. Welded, taped seams lower weight and seal out intrusive moisture, while the high hand pockets stay accessible while wearing a harness. Mountain Hardwear also added welded, watertight pockets and a roll-away adjustable storm hood to keep out slush, spindrift, and any other energy-sapping forms of water.

Bottom Line: Elemental protection from harsh alpine weather.

I am looking at several jackets and I am hoping to get some guidance.
I am currently in the market for a nice Hardshell, Mid-weight combo. So far. as Hardshells go, I have been looking at The Beryllium, the Vertical and a few others from MH, as well as the Theta AR and Stingray from Arc'teryx. As to the Midweights I have been looking at the Compressor PL (hooded), the Vinson, the Alcove (not on BC) from MH, and the Atom LT from Arc'Teryx.

The way I would like it to work is, buy a mid-weight that I can use when it's cold and maybe light rain and wind, then if it's starts raining harder have my hardshell so I can keep dry. I am not entirely sure on which two would work best as they all seem like great jackets on their own. Any suggestions?

Additionally, the idea behind the hardshell and not a standard 3-in-1 is so I can use the hardshell during the summer.

A jacket that's in the same league as Arc'Teryx (sort of)

As a replacement to my Arc'Teryx Theta AR jacket, the Beryllium seems capable to holding its own. What I cannot understand is why the main zipper is not water tight like all the others found on the jacket? If it was I definitely would have given it a 5 star rating. The flap with it's velcro tabs does protect the zipper, but, you would think that a water tight zipper would have been a better option. On a positive note, the Gore Tex Pro shell fabric seems less restrictive than the Theta. And after a good old fashion downpour, I was definitely warm and dry. Plenty of room of layering and the 2 front chest pockets are big enough for a Garmin 60CSX and the zipper tabs are really nice compared to the "string loops" found on the Theta.

Why are there no pit zipper in the Beryllium Design? Do the main pockets vent?

Andy. There are pit zips in the Beryllium Jacket. It even states this in the Tech Specs. Also, the pockets can act as vents as well...

This jacket does have underarm "pit" zippers for core venting.

What is the cut on this jacket like? Is it as athletic as a compressor? Trying to figure out if I should size up to compensate for layers. Mediums are a bit baggy on me, but my chest is too broad for smalls.

The Beryllium Jacket is cut more generally than its cousin the Argon Jacket in our line as it is intended for a variety of uses and not just climbing. Based on your description I would say stick with the medium as it should accommodate layers with out a problem! Hope this info helps!
