Bio:
I love gear! I write a blog about the gear I have or have used.
http://gear-review.blogspot.com/
I love to snowboard, Kiteboarding, Mountainboarding, rock climbing, Longboarding, riding my beach cruiser around, Kayaking, Hiking, Camping. All those fun outdoor things. I love indoor things as well such as going to the ballet, crocheting beanies, sewing, and watching movies.
I am the snowboard program director for a new snowboard team for females in the salt lake city area http://shredbunnies.homestead.com/
I previously worked at backcountry.com for 2 1/2 years in customer service and merchandising.
I started a women's gear review blog. the address is http://gear-review.blogspot.com
There I go indepth into gear I have tested, own, use and love. Please check it out!

K2 Cinch Tryst Snowboard Binding - Women's
October 21, 2008
That's not true. You just have to make sure that the bindings you get come with the 3-hole plates, not just 4-hole. Some newer bindings (like these) are also now coming with universal plates which will fit anything. http://www.k2snowboarding.com/technology/footbedMake sure the feel good does not have EST technology. I can not remember what boards had it last year and which did not. it should have 3 hole pattern compatible base plates. If the board is EST than you can only use burton EST's

Burton Sapphire Snowboard Boot - Women's
October 21, 2008
By "other boot" do you mean ski boots? Order snowboard boots .5 or 1 size smaller than your street shoes. If your feet are on the wide side, go with 6.5. If they're on the narrow side, go with 7. This seems backwards, but it's because with ski/snowboard boots, the half sizes tend to be the same length as the whole size, just wider. I wear a 9, but my snowboard boots are 8.5 and ski boots are 7.5. You can also always go to a ski shop, get fitted, find a boot, then come back here and order online to get a better price :-).Milly says: Well considering online pricing for burton and shop pricing are the same, then you can get the same deal where-ever you go. But anyways. I wear a 7 1/2 shoe. I have always gotten the sapphires for 4 years in a 6 1/2 it takes a bit of time, but they pack out. Always a snug fit though. This year I got these in a 7 1/2 and they feel perfect. I will be coaching and on my feet a lot so I chose a larger size so I don't cramp my toes being on my feet in boots all day. If I was not coaching this year I would have gone with a 7 to require less packing out time and just a little less toe crunching fit. This year the liners are already pre wired to for heat. Which was my big concern with smaller boots, lesss circulation. I would say 6 1/2 should be the smallest you go in this boot.

The jacket I have for work (bought in 2005) falls at my hips, but I'm short (5'1"). So it may be shorter on you if you are taller. I'm guessing the 2008 resolve jacket has the same measurements.If you need extra length, look at the venture parka. Extra length in the torso.

You may want to look at the Venture Parka as opposed to the Venture Jacket. It is significantly longer length and will probably fit you better than the jacket version.I am about 5'8" and thin, but the small jacket is too short in the arms and torso for me. The thing to watch out for on north face items is the sleeves. Even if the torso is longer in a different jacket, does not mean the length in the arms will be longer. Get it in 2 sizes and return what does not work.

Marmot PreCip Jacket - Women's
August 13, 2008
The fit depends on how your body is shaped. I tend to find marmot stuff a little short length for me and north face fits pretty good for me. The precip fits a little shorter in the torso than the venture jacket. Not sure on the breath-ability. Hyvent on the north face is their technology comparably to gore-tex. They both have pit zips to help vent when you need it. The marmot website claims that precip is the lightest and most breathable rainwear fabric in the world.So I think either one you go with will be great. If you run into a problem of things running short in the waist go with the venture for sure. backcountry has a great return policy.

The waist on this does not hit as low as other down jackets. so if you need something to keep your lower hips warm you might want a another coat. but 500 downfill is pretty warm. I think it will keep you warm. on really breezy cold days you could put a shell over it for added protection and warmth from the wind.

This is a nylon material, which is quick drying. It is a very light weight shirt so I am sure the air flow would be great on this and help dry it out quicker than other nylon shirts. For boating, I would look into merino wool. I use merino wool for kayaking. It wicks, quick drying and when wet keeps you cool or warm depending on what your body needs.

The North Face Windwall 1 Fleece Jacket - Women's
June 17, 2008
it won't if you get a tech wash and do not put it in the dryer with any heat. Anything you take out in the sun a lot will slowly fade, because of the suns rays. If you don't have tech wash or want to get tech wash, use woolite or a very mild detergent. Never use powder detergent on technical materials. The powder is abrasive and scrubs the material and clogs the pores. Also put your soap in and let the washer fill all the way up with water, then put your technical pieces in. This will insure none of the detergent gets directly on the garment and won't cause spotting on the clothing.

The North Face Catalyst Summit Series Down Jacket - Women's
June 17, 2008
The higher the fill power the more insulating air pockets the down has and the better insulating ability. 800 downfill is very typical to be used in sub zero sleeping bags as well as non sub zero sleeping bags. The material on the outside also helps up the warmth of the coat. Since this is just rip-stop nylon with water repellent. If it gets wet then the down insulation will not work as well. I wore my 800 fill down coat in sub freezing levels this winter and it kept me warm. On those windy or wet cold days, I used a shell over it to help block any wind or water from getting in the down. The length on the jacket hits on the upper hips. So if you need something to keep your hips and butt warm, this won't do it.Make sure when you wash this to get a down wash detergent, like "nikwax". Use a front loading washer and fluff it dry in the dryer and make sure it is dry all the way through so the feathers to do not stick together and destroy those pockets for insulation.
