Ouch! These would probably work pretty well, but I'd go for poles with some shock absorption. Like these ones: http://www.backcountry.com/store/LEK0073/LEKI-Summit-Antishock-Trekking-Poles-1-Pair.html

If you power hike, these should be fine. But if you prefer a more meandering pace, I'd go for a light shell pant with midweight baselayers.

Yup. This one has a zip-in/out fleece liner. Another good option is the North Face Windwall triclimate. Although I find the triclimates with a softshell liner more useful - the fleeces aren't that great on their own.

Goggles usually have the same width on the strap, and the front of the helemt is really open so it should work with just about any major brand goggle.I recommend Smith goggles though - the vents will line up perfectly for better fog sucking.

Sorry, bad luck I'd say. You could try getting on the Live Chat and asking a Gearhead.From the help center "If we put an item on sale less than 30 days after you bought it at full price, let us know and we’ll credit you the difference. This offer only applies to purchases made within the last 30 days, and only if we have the same size and color of the item that you originally purchased in stock."

North face fits pretty true to size. I'm a size 8 and always a medium. If you're in between sizes or prefer a baggier fit for layering size up.

No. It's a hoody, cotton poly blend.

It covers manufacturer defects. It's lifetime, that means for life. Some brands have unconditional warranties that cover any failure in the product. You'll have to look that up on your own.Backcountry also has an unconditional lifetime guarantee, even if the item isn't defective. You're covered.

I love my Kovens. (I have the Koven jacket as well). This is a great pant if you spend a lot of time touring. They're lightweight, super breathable, waterproof and have convenient venting. And you can always add more layers on a chilly day. However, if you're mostly freezing on chair lifts, you might want to trade up to the heavier duty RPK.

No. You need to get a similar Smith set up, like this one: http://www.backcountry.com/store/SMI0409/Smith-Twin-Tip-Cell-iPod-Audio-Accessory-Kits.html

I know a lot of skiers who swear by 'em. I've got a janky meniscus so I'm going to try a pair this year - I'll let you know!

Nope, this is not a 3 in 1. If that's what you're looking for, look for one that has the word "triclimate" in the name. The Boundary Triclimate is a good choice: http://www.backcountry.com/store/TNF3255/The-North-Face-Boundary-Triclimate-Jacket-Boys.html

Euro. Check out the sizing chart. La Sportiva runs a little narrow, so when in doubt size up.

Not exactly. But if you check out the men's Columbia fleeces you can probably find something that works.

Non, on ne peut pas envoyer a la France a cause des restrictions sur les textiles chinoises. Mais si vous avez un ami ou un membre de famille aux EEUU ou autre pays vous pouvez y envoyer vos ordres.

It's a pretty thick knit. Very cosy, better for casual wear or lower output activities. If you're looking for something light, check out the fleece beanie. I wear it on backcountry ascents, works great.

Depends where you live. Sensor mirrors are great for low and flat light (like a blazing snowstorm), and platinum mirror is better on sunny days. Ignitor mirrors are somewhere in the middle, and if you only want one lens those are probably your best bet.
