two options get the Large, i feel like it fits pretty true to size, or you can order both large and medium and return the one you dont use, you will have to pay about 6$ return shipping but its worth it to make sure Xmas morning he has one that fits perfectly. Nothing is worse than getting an AWESOME jacket and having to return it because it doesnt fit just right and having to wait an extra week.

Petzl Oscillante Pulley
December 14, 2010
Looks like at some point it stopped rotating then started to burn from the friction of the rope. This device is not designed for high speeds, its made for light rescue and for climbing (hauling gear bags) or other climbing applications. The plastic is not made to stand up to heat, i would look into something that is made for zip lines probably a metal pulley. I dont know of any climbing gear made for that fast of movement and that much friction. Good luck be careful.

Sterling Chain Reactor Canyon Sling
December 14, 2010
Most people go ahead and Girth hitch them. You are true that normally you dont want to girth hitch two fabrics together it does weaken the system but you shouldnt be falling on this system anyways. Also if something it girth hitched to your harness for to long you could wear out your belay loop (what might have happened to Skinner), it should be fine unless its always really tight and for a long period of time just be sure to inspect your equipment and you will be fine.

Try contacting North Face they have a place for you to send the items for warranty.
Try checking out http://www.thenorthface.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/TNFAtt
Q4: Are rips and tears covered by warranty?
We manufacture all of our products to meet our superior standards. However, regardless of how carefully you use, or how well you care for your The North Face® product, it will eventually begin to show age and wear. The North Face® warranty covers defects in workmanship and materials, regardless of the age of the product, but it does not cover normal wear and tear.

i would think so you dont want a full size bigger on climbing shoes but it depends on how much he climbs and how fast his feet are growing. Does he climb everyday? get shoes that fit. Does he climb once a month and in 3 months his feet will be a 8.5 then get the 8.5. you want climbing shoes to be tight and responsive.

First Need Deluxe Water Purifier
June 12, 2009
I guess the "XL" will do:
Cartridge Life: up to 150 gal
Flow Rate: 1.9 L / Minute
The Deluxe only does
Purification Rate: 1.8 L / min
Output: 135 gallons per filter
Pretty much the same thing i would say.

Special Blend Crash Jacket - Women's
June 9, 2009
It has a waterproof raiting of 10000mm so you will be fine in most weather systems. There is no weight raiting which tells me that its heavy. For packability this is not the best option try checking out the...The North Face Bomber Jacket...Arc'teryx Fission SV Jacket - Women's or maybe do a rain jacket with a feece or down jacket under it. If you can afford it Fission is the way to go

Big Agnes Flying Diamond Tent: 8-Person 4-Season
June 9, 2009
It really all depends on what you want to spend, what season and how concerned about weight you are. To make life easier on my horses i would have two different tents one that fits 6 people and one that just fits two that way when there is just 2 people my horses dont have to carry all that extra weight. Im guessing that you are only going to need a 3 seasons tent so i would go with the...Mountain Hardwear Casa 6 Tent 6-Person 3-Season. Its not even half the weight of this tent only 11lb 10oz and it is 150$ less. That way you can have one text and even when its two people your only putting 6Lbs per horse not has bad as 14Lb per horse with this tent
