This allows you to set up a nice kitchen area with a place for washing, cooking, drying, and storing things. The first time we used it we were cooking for nine, it was really helpful.

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.

Backcountry.com Shift Welder Hoody - Men's

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.

The North Face Denali Fleece Jacket - Men's

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-Venture-Jacket-Mens.htmlI bet you are looking for a jacket that you can zip the denali into which is the North Face Mountain Light Jacket.http://www.backcountry.com/store/TNF3530/The-North-Face-Mountain-Light-Jacket-Mens.htmlAs a team, the The North Face Denali and Venture are unstoppable.

The North Face Aconcagua Down Vest - Women's

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.

This skirt fabulous! It has all of the comfort you would expect from Horny Toad. Looks great on, but it is still comfortable. It is versatile, I found myself wearing this skirt to lunch with the girls San Francisco, hanging out at the pool in Las Vegas, and at the campsite after a long hike.

My least favorite thing about camping is cooking and organizing the cooking utensils. I always forget something. This organizer is great, it has everything you need for cooking in the outdoors. All the utensils fit nicely in the organizer you never have to worry about what you left behind.

Rating for this product: 5 November 5, 2003

It's warm, even on the coldest days I never need to layer. I never feel the wind, the mink-like fur keeps me warm and never chafes my face. It's cute and it fits well, doesn’t make me look like a boy on the hill or around town. It's functional because you can wear it when it is dumping or sunny on or off the hill.
