Mountain Hardwear Beryllium Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 March 2, 2008

This jacket is billed as a VERY expensive Ice Climbing or Alpine Climbing jacket. Thats why I bought it. I haven't found a jacket that was well built and performed well. My search continues. I think I'm heading to Arc'teryx next. I bought this jacket after viewing the Mountain Hardwear website and seeing the pics of people climbing in it. They must have only used it once. I could rave about the jackets comfort or how it kept me dry and warm in the teens when I started my route or how much I love the bill on the hood, pockets, etc. The problem is that this jacket just isn't durable enough. I wore it one time and the front tore from being rubbed on a rock. This happens when you climb mixed. It's gotta be more durable. When I contacted customer noservice to see about having the jacket repaired it was like I was being handled by a robot. Because of my treatment I refuse to even buy MH products from an REI scratch and dent sale.
