Norrøna Falketind Gore-Tex Paclite Jacket - Men's
July 26, 2010
breathability. The precip does not breath very well. Obviously the fit and finish on a Norrona or Arcteryx is the best in the industry. If you don't mind the inside of your jacket feeling like a swamp and the jacket needing to be replaced every year then the precip would be the way to go.

I had a Arcterxy shell made from paclite and wore it with a pack for 150 days and had zero durability issues. In fact, the jacket is still functional today I keep it in my mountain bike pack as back up.

Black Diamond Alpine Bod Harness
September 21, 2009
Alpine Harness does not have a dedicated belay loop. You run the carabiner through the loop between the legs and the waist belt. Alpine harness is meant to be minimal if you want a belay loop look at more traditional harness. The picture is of mammut harness but you get the idea

Backcountry.com Shift Welder Hoody - Men's
December 15, 2008
Soft-shell is highly breathable and water resistant. If you are in a down pour Seattle style after an hour you will be damp. In Utah we can wear soft-shell during a blizzard and never get wet. This soft-shell will be more waterproof than others because there are no stitched seams this is like a taped Gore-tex jacket but made from highly breathable soft-shell.

December 15, 2008
Hey, I'm 6'2", I tried this jacket on in the large, and it fit really well. I did a variety of poses (vogue) to see how the jacket moved, and the sleeves were long enough when my arms were lifted up. I am definitely buying one, it is a quality garment for sure.I am 6'0 and wear 40 long sports jacket and the medium fits me tight but the sleeves have plenty of length. Since this is mainly and aerobic jacket I went for the tight fitting medium.

The North Face Hayden Shoe - Men's
October 27, 2008
Yes, it is. I was in a TNF San Francisco store today and handled the shoe. It is very flexible and comfortable right off the bat. I would wear it day hiking, no questions asked.This shoe is not ideal for day hiking the sole is thin and not stiff. This shoe is great for hiking on pavement but a trail might be too much.

MontBell U.L. Alpine Down Hugger #1 Sleeping Bag: 15 Degree Down
October 25, 2008
Buy the smallest bag you can it is lighter and will be warmer. When the bag is too long the footbox gets cold because there is no body parts to warm the end of the bag. The worst part is when your feet hit the empty part of the bag and it is cold waking you up.

Black Diamond QuickWire Quickdraw
October 22, 2008
I am truly sorry. Your question makes much more sense from a gift point of view, and I apologize for my previous answer. These are awesome draws that any climber would love to be given as a gift. Like I said in my previous answer, if you are actually trying to stock his entire trip, then you will need 10-15 (which is expensive), but speaking from a climber's point of view, every piece of gear that you are given is welcome. In that case, one would be appreciated hugely. Sorry I was rude.Nice response Angus it proves you are strong to admit your wrong.

A great companion shell for The North Face Denali Fleece Jacket is the Venture Jacket also from The North Face. If you use the Venture as a shell you will be waterproof, and have a hood, but you will also have the Denali to insulate your body and keep you warm. http://www.backcountry.com/store/TNF2826/The-North-Face-Vent

Yes North Face runs a little larger but not a entire size. According to your measurement you are on the larger side of meduim in the chest and a large in the hips. If you got the small it would likely be snug around your hips.

In think Paran runs small but the measurements on the sizing chart are good. So the best way to figure this out would be to mesure your chest and see where you fit on the sizing chart.

For children 9 and under I would use the Petzl Ouistiti just in case you kid goes upside down this harness will help hold your child in place. I also like this harness because you can adjust the size from a small child to a larger child quickly.
