The skins are long enough to fit on 190s

Got these on 184cm skis, I trimmed some off and am only using the third shortest hole on the tail hook. Definitely will be long enough.

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.

If you are lucky Prana large. I am 36 D and a large is ok up top but not around my waist. If you go with a large I am not sure it will fit you around or in the waist unless you are larger there.

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.

I bet you are looking for a jacket that you can zip the denali into which is the North Face Mountain Light Jacket.

As a team, the The North Face Denali and Venture are unstoppable.

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.

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.

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.

Nope, not a wicking shirt. The crepe (crinkle) in the fabric is there to lift the fabric off the skin and breathe but the fabric itself won't absorb any moisture. You could try the Togo shirt from Horny Toad - it is made of a Tencel, cotton, poly blend which will wick easily and is super soft with a little bit of stretch. Or, as hot as you might be, you could try Icebreaker, the 100% merino wool company. Merino wool is very versatile and is designed by nature to keep you cool when it is hot out (by wicking) and to keep you warm when it is cold. Just think, the sheep can't shed their layers, their layers have to work at all temperatures.

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.

You can buy two different lengths and still zip them together. I believe the additional length on a long sleeping bag is below the zipper in the foot box.

You do have to have a LH zip & a RH zip but also the zippers have to be compatible.

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.
