Made in Turkey

The slasher cargo and the north face fargo cargo are made from the same material. The only difference is in style of the pants.

I have seen the JJ mounted with Dynafit and I just bought a pair to mount dynafit. These skis are magic there is zero reason a dynafit binding would cause any issue other than leading you to pow turns.

Both jackets are made from the same material Gore-Tex paclite so there will be no difference in fabric breathablity. The cut, pockets and venting will be the differences between the jackets.

I am 6'0 tall 170 pounds and wear a medium or large depending on the Norrona jacket. The return policy is limitless I would order a couple and send back what does not fit.

No these are the only colors for the bombshell bib for 2011/2012

I have two seasons on the Bibby Pro and I can honestly say they are one of the best skis I have ever owned. The ski is very stiff making hard snow tolerable but the flex pattern really comes alive in the powder. The bibby has a progressive flex that is soft at first then stiffens like a board

Yes these are the 2012 colors for the Smith Vantage helmet

no the only sleeping bag company to offer sleeves for the sleeping pad is Big Agnes http://www.backcountry.com/big-agnes-sleeping-bags

No the OR Mentor Jacket is a lightweight shell made for climbing and aerobic activities. Look in the ski jacket product group for jackets with powder skirts.

If you are doing fat alpines skis you get about 10 pairs. Cross country and small alpine skis you get 20 pairs.

I have used the Kishtwar to backcountry ski. The Kishtwar blocks the wind and will shed water but there are no thermal properties. The Kishtwar is designed to be used while doing aerobic activities. If you where waiting at a bus stop in cold weather this jacket would not keep you warm.

There is no brushed lining on this jacket. The Kishtwar is designed to be the most breathable softshell jacket made. A lining would limit breathability.

The hats are not as bright as they look on the screen. The green and blue are both darker. Took a picture of the blue with my phone

the brakes are 95 mm

Only has 100 grams of insulation you would need to be active if it was much colder than 10 degrees outside.

all real oakley's say made in the USA. Also you want to buy from and Authorized dealer with backcountry.com/department of goods is.

What does reverse display mean? You can decide what shows on the display

1800 miles I would only wear bike short with a chamois no underwear.

The are some of the best bike shorts

I am 6'0 170 pounds and just spent 8 days touring on the 182 stoke. I thought they would be too short but they where perfect. The stoke is not soft and can ski like a big mountain ski. I did find the length to be an issue in the air but I just need time to get used to the short tails. I also might try mounting the bindings a little forward and see how that works.

Ronnie skis that have a rocker tip ski much shorter than a normal ski like the nomad. The k2 darkside 174 will ski closer to a 169 or 170. Pull the trigger and start skiing powder you have been missing it long enough.

Very little Rossignol and Dynastar Bindings are both made by Look.

I just use a regular dry bag on my motorcycle. I was off road going through streams nothing got wet.

The edges should come go to go from the factory how did your bacon session at Abasin go?

No the Joystick sauce ski pole is not adjustable. All adjustable ski poles can be found here

Icelantic skis are short and fat so they should be great for skinning since short skis are great for switchbacks and wide skis are good for floating powder.

sounds like the 167 is your size the rocker makes the ski feel shorter so take that into consideration when comparing sizing with non rocker skis.

I am 6' tall and 170 I use a small/medium black diamond avalung covert backpack.

Totally normal noise your avalung is working properly.

The Hestra Cloud Nine Glove might be slightly warmer than the Backcountry.com Stoic glove because the Hestra Glove uses synthetic insulation and the Backcountry.com glove uses wool. I own the Backcountry.com Stoic glove and have to admit on cold days my hands are not warm but hiking or anytime the temp is above 25 degrees the gloves rock.

you buy skins based on the width of your skis not really the length as the skins are cut to fit the length of the ski by you. You can either measure the tip of your ski and buy skins that wide or measure the middle of the ski and buy that width. If you buy skins based on the middle width you won't have full coverage and may slip in icy conditions. I always buy skins based on my tip width.

Looks like you will just have to bend some 110mm brakes to fit your 115mm skis.

I like the P18

great comments about garmont radium on Lou Dawson's bloghttp://www.wildsnow.com/1734/chris-davenport-dynafit-ft12/#comments

Yes, it goes by the narrowest part, which is the waist, so buy for that size and cut down.If you buy skins for the narrowest part of your skis you will have exposed base which sucks. The preferred method is buy skins for the width of your tip or in the Case of Volkl Mnatra 133m. 140mm skins would give you full coverage 120mm would leave about 6.5mm of base showing on each side of the ski at the wides part of the tip. If the side cut is aggressive you many not have much base exposed with 120mm.

Erik, the metal tip on the Dynastar Legend is no problem with the skin tip loop. You should buy skins that are 120mm wide this will give you full coverage once you trim the skins.

The design of the deploy is amazing you get the benefits of a one piece but the compactness of a two piece. The deploy will assembly quicker than any two piece.

You can ski the rossignol s7 ski in a longer length than a traditional ski because there is not as much effective edge as your 168 Seth Pistols due to the rocker tip. Binding mounting point is personal preference I would start with the markings Rossignol puts on the S7.

I bought a medium and am 6' tall and 165 pounds. Picture posted above.

Nope these do not have the toe and heel piece to work with Dynafit boots.Here are some optionsI have this boot it rocks super light and very stiffhttp://www.backcountry.com/store/DNF0009/Dynafit-ZZero-4-PX-TF-Alpine-Touring-Boot.htmlScarpa Optionhttp://www.backcountry.com/store/SCR0100/Scarpa-Skookum-Alpine-Touring-Boots.htmlhttp://www.backcountry.com/store/SCR0090/Scarpa-Spirit-4-Alpine-Touring-Boot.htmlGarmont OptionsThis is Garmont's newest stiffest Dynafit boot I have not skied but friends have and gave it thumbs up.http://www.backcountry.com/store/GAR0179/Garmont-Axon-Alpine-Touring-Boot.htmlClassic Garmnont Dynafit Optionhttp://www.backcountry.com/store/GAR0220/Garmont-Mega-Ride-Alpine-Touring-Boot-Mens.htmlBlack Diamond These boots are stiff and sweet highly recommended.http://www.backcountry.com/store/BLD0359/Black-Diamond-Method-Alpine-Touring-Boot-Mens.html

The bottom does have a cinch. If you are wearing bibs a pow wipe out should be no problem. If you have pants and take a header in the pow your going to get snow down you pants. This is a super aerobic jacket if you need something exclusively for the resort I would look elsewhere.

Nope you can get a fleece under this jacket without up sizing.

The North Face VE 25 is a tried & true expedition tent that can be used throughout the year. The only drawback using it as a summer tent is it's weight where a much lighter tent would work just as good. As far as ventilation is concerned, a three season tent has it beat hands down. Four Season tents should be called one season tents. Four Season tents are only good in the winter the rest of the year they lack ventilation making them sweat lodges.

If you want to layer you will need a large but the arms might be a bit long. I wear the medium and it is a tight fit I am 6'0 at 165 pounds.

I think the large would fit you best. I am 6'1" and 185 and the large fits me perfectly with still room to layer my fleeceDustin is wearing a medium and is 6'0 and 165 pounds. I just got the production version in medium and am happy with the fit. I wear a 40 long sport jacket for reference.

That color is not the Carbon available for purchase. The Carbon is more of a grey, than black.Correct the prototype was straight black which we did not make for production. I believe we have a red version coming but no black.

Sounds like there to big for you, your heels sould never move around like that and the problem will get worse as your liners pack out. you could take them to a boot fitter and see what he could do with some custom soles, otherwise can you exchange them for a smaller size?If you don't have a custom footbed you really can't say if the boot fits or not. A footbed really should take up the space and lock your heel in place. My bro got these footbeds and said they worked well in his alpine boots.http://www.rei.com/product/721632If you have the money I would go to Surefoot or a boot fitter that knows how to make custom footbeds. Footbeds can move from boot to boot so if these boots still don't work the footbed will transfer to the new boot.

That'll be pushing it, but you should be fine.If you are just in town waiting for the bus and what not you should be fine between 15 and 20 degrees but if you are going to be outside for and extended period you would need base layers, hats, and gloves to make this jacket work in those conditions.

Yes it will as long as you use the alpine sole. Yep you don't need to use the alpine sole with the Duke either will work.__________________Any AT or Alpine sole will work.

Just saw the prime angello and it had long arms but a short torso.

Yes it will because the sole blocks are interchangeable. Plus the Fritschi Binding will work with Alpine or AT soles so no need to change anything if you have the Fritschi binding.

Nordica Supercharger Blower was last years version of the Blower with dimensions 139/110/129. This years is called just the Blower with the same dimensions 139 / 110 / 129mm.Just got this from Nordica.All 185cm Blowers have the mounting mark in the wrong spot.Here is what Noridica said exactly"A large percentage of the NORDICA BLOWER skis size 185 were incorrectly marked for the mounting position. The incorrectly marked skis were marked at 73.6cm.The correct measurement is 80.1cm measured from the tail of the ski."This qualifies as a recall in my book but I guess not for Nordica.

No.Cleats are included with your pedals.He might be referencing toe cleats which are not part of the a road shoe the answer is still no.

Way better than elastic it has an adjustable drawstring.

This is a fleece jacket that blocks wind. The Pamir does not offer a ton of insulation you might be better off with a down jacket like the nuptse.

Sorry bro, tramdock.com pricing is only for the select few that happen to at the right place at the right time.

nope this charger is for the icon headlamp
