Beryllium rocks, and so will you

If Berrylium were an ice-cream flavour - it'd be the sweetest thing to smother your insides. But it's not - so the sweetest thing to do is get one on your back. I'm 5'9" 175#, the small size fits me great for ALPINE (such awesome stuff) summer in the super fickle maritime alps of New Zealand. Throw a solid over-sized belay jacket on to prevent chill'n whilst chill'n in the Fall/Winter, and you'll be set (comfortably, not frozen)

Yes, it is totally windproof and waterproof. Yes, the hood comfortably fits the helmets I use whilst wearing a head lamp: Petzl Meteor and Elios, BD Half Dome. The chest zips are not confused when wearing my MH Supernatural and Direttissima backpacks.

The sleeves are in fact long enough for high-sticking reaches on rock for desperate pull-down glory. Throw long gauntlet gloves on your mitts for quality ice time.

I went the red jacket because red is faster. However, given the great look of this jacket, smash it with mud first if you want to be taken seriously in the outdoors.
