Mountain Hardwear Beryllium Jacket - Men's
Fantasic backcountry skiing jacket
By Andrew McLean
Ranked #311 - Men's Technical Shells
February 7, 2008
The Beryillium is intended to be more of a climbing jacket, but I love it for backcountry skiing as it has perfect pockets, a nice set of features (without having too many) and the material is excellent. It has a nice loose fit which works well for hiking and helps make it breathable. I was skeptical at first about the lightweight fabric (Pro Shell), but am now sold on it - it breathes well and is durable. The hood is also very well designed and can be used with a helmet or folded back for use with a regular hat.
