I would go to their website. They have all that information there.

Polarized lenses for skiing aren't the best choice. You won't find that many that are polarized. The reason is you can't see definition of ice vs. snow with polarized lenses. I would go with a goggle that allows for a replaceable lens and then get a really dark lens. Smith has a couple great options for goggles and then you can get the Fire Sensor Mirror or the Gold Sol X Mirror. Hope this helps.

Yes it does. All the way down the front storm flap.

Click the sizing icon underneath the order drop down menu. S=6-8, M=8-11, L=10+ (men's)

The Radict weighs 12 pounds and the 185cm size is $659.95 on Sierra Trading Post. Go to my site and grab a coupon for another 30% off at the top of the page. www.whiteknuckled.com

Yes.

365 grams or 12.9 oz.

These will really fit any binding out there perfectly fine. I would say that they fit Burton bindings with the cap strap really well as the toe box in this boot is beefier. Hope this helps.

Should fit fine. Pretty much the same as any other boot. Flow bindings don't really fit any different. Hope this helps.

I think you probably want to go with a toe strap crampon instead of clip. My buddy has used his T1 with a strap crampon and it worked pretty well. I would go with the Petzl Lynx if you want to be able to do strap or clip. Hope this helps.

That's a little half pad that Metolius used to make. This would be the closest thing to it now. http://www.amazon.com/Metolius-Sketch-Crash-Pad/dp/B000VXTTPS

They should. It's only 2.5mm on each side, right?!?! You should have no problem. Hope this helps.

2000 cu. in. or about 32 liters.

1600 cu. in. This is about 25 liters.

Too bad you missed this guy then...

4064C at Sierra Trading Post

Hopefully they get more!

Should fit fine. The bag will have a little give.

Absolutely they are. There is a toe and heel welt, so any clip crampon will fit. It won't be the best fit in the world like a normal mountaineering boot, but it will work just fine.

The size icon right under the "select options" purchase drop down has all that information.
A Burton women's small is waist=25"-26" inseam=30"
Hope this helps.

Well, since Apple didn't really change anything for the iPad 3, it should work fine since the dimensions barely changed at all. Take a look at the chart. I think .6 mm should be ok. Never know though.

Pretty sure it is a pair. You can always do the live chat and find out for sure though. Hope this helps.

This lens is one of Smith's darkest. It has a 15% VLT rating which means it is very dark and only lets in 15% of sunlight. However, the green base makes it versatile because the green amplifies natural colors like green, brown, blue, etc. I would recommend this for blue bird days and somewhat overcast days. For snowy days this wouldn't be the best choice. Honestly a Sol X Mirror lens and a Sensor Mirror lens will cover most everyday on the mountain. The Gold Sol X Mirror is pretty sick, 7% VLT! Hope this helps.

I would highly recommend the Burton Ion for two reasons. First, it has upper and lower independent lacing, Two, they size the boot down slightly so you won't get any toe drag. I have the Imperial in size 12 on a wide board and they are amazing. The lacing points are also flush to the boot, i.e. they don't stick out like the Malamute. Hope this helps.

Yes, they are all 22". You can add 6" extensions to make them a bit longer. There are other MSR shoes that go to 30". With your weight i would recommend at least the Evo with the tail if you are doing backcountry trekking. Hope this helps.

These will work just fine for touring. They are a heavier ski, but you can get up the hill just fine. No specific skin necessary, but i would recommend a Black Diamond Ascension and some lightweight bindings. Hope this helps.

I would go to 9.5. I am a 13 street shoe and get 12-13 in Evolv. Hope this helps.

Five Ten sizes about the same as a street shoe. You may want to size down a half size because these are unlined and should stretch. I would recommend 7 1/2 or 8. Hope this helps.

I imagine it would if you took the bindings off the second board and stacked them. You can put the second pair in between the bindings on the first board and at the tip and tail you could throw your boots and helmet. Hope this helped.

It depends on what you ride. I have a full rocker board in 159cm Wide and i am 6' 2" and 185 lbs. I ride all over the mountain and it is the perfect board. Groomers, trees, park, powder...it does everything well.

You would probably be ok ordering something like the 125X185. That will get you go coverage all over and you can trim the sidecut.

All i can say is that i am 190cm and 84kg and wear a Large. You should probably go with a Large as well. Hope this helps.

I think this is the new model. It looks and has the same specs as the Spot headlamp on BD's website. Sorry, nothing concrete i suppose.

Sure!

Nope. But it is attached with nuts and bolts, so it would be pretty hard to remove without a lot of time. Hope this helps.

They will as long as the boot isn't too big, probably 28+. They won't fit perfectly, because of the tongue, but i have seen it done. Good luck.

I believe the jacket is waterproof except for the side panels under the arms. These are a softshell stretch panel that dumps heat. These act like pit zips because the jacket doesn't have side zips. Also, this is actually a hardshell. Dry Q Core is the softshell material Dry Q Elite is the hardshell material. If you want softshell look at the Trinity jacket from Mountain Hardwear. Hope this helps.

Honestly probably about the same. I can't say for sure, but i wear a 13 street shoe and would do these in an 11.5 most likely. Hope this helps.

Yes, pretty much. I believe the waist sizing and shape might be slightly different, but not positive.

Absolutely. You would just need something to catch the attachment. The ski bindings does this, so you would want something...tie on string, rubber bands, etc. Make sense? Hope this helps.

I have had a few Arc'Teryx jackets in my day and all i can say is that i have always worn large. I am 6' 2" 185lbs. and i have used them for skiing and ice climbing. I think you will be ok with Large. I think Medium might be a little too tight and possibly too short. Hope this helps.

I believe it is two cap fulls per garment. So yes, i think one bottle will work for four garments. Hope this helps.

The biggest difference between the two is size. The Spectre has a larger gate opening and overall larger feel. I use Spectres for ice climbing draws (clipping with gloves and all, and i use Moses biners (Mammut's equivalent to the Phantom) for racking on alpine draws and gear. It just depends on personal preference, but for an ultimate alpine draw i would do Mammut contact slings with Phantom biners. Hope this helps.

I don't think i would recommend this for buildings. Definitely built for rock climbing, but overall the hook should hold pretty much anything (of significance). I mean, the material it is grappled to is more of a question than this piece of metal. What did you have in mind anyway? Hope this helps.

No. Out of all the ice axes (not tools) and piolets out there they are probably 50/50 when it comes to rivets in the head. Some have them and some don't. For a piolet (non aggressive tool) you don't really need them. You see rivets on tools like this when the shaft is bent, leading to a more aggressive tool used for vertical-ish ice. Make sense? Hope this helps.

Pretty much just as durable. It's hard to tell, because i have never tried to break a goggle frame, but i have always had great experience with Smith goggles. The Phenom is definitely beefy when it comes to durability and substance.

I saw it at Outdoor Retailer back in January and the pad seemed fine as far as a landing goes. The ripples are pretty responsive and conform to the fall...foot, butt or otherwise. Hope this helps.

Yep, that's what i found.

These bindings are Dynafit whick means you need tech fittings on your boots. These are two dimples by your big toe and pinky toe and dual slots on your heel. Scarpa, Dynafit, Black Diamond and others make compatible boots.

It looks like the new one. New configuration of lights, battery level indicator, etc. Should be the 2011 model though because the 2012 hasn't really launched yet, i don't think. Hope this helps.

What type of boot? Burton does this boot print reduction thing where their boots size down, in length, almost half a size. I have a Burton Joystick 159 Wide with 12 boots and it is perfect. I think if you got a wide you would be great. I don't think i would go with a standard width board.

ST or FT would be fine for you. No need to upgrade if you don't want to. The brake is definitely too small. Pushing the boundaries for bending and shaving and retaining proper braking. I would jump up to the next size for sure.

Yes, there is pretty much no difference between a ski or snowboard jacket. Other than fit (ski is usually a little less baggy), snow jackets can be used for anything.

Hanging out in Alaska in the sprin/summer? Yes. Winter? Not a chance if you are outside for more than 20 minutes. Make sense? Hope this helps.

I think one of the most important thing is the weight. R3 weighs about twice as much. That, for me, is a deal breaker. I haven't bouldered with one though, so i don't know about the landing. I would look at Flashed Climbing crash pads if you are looking for something a little different. Those are pretty sweet pads. Hope this helped a little.

Should be 60cm. Alpine draws are pretty much always 60cm slings. Hope this helps.

I am 6' 2" and 185lbs. I wear a large and it is a little baggy. I can still throw it under another jacket. I think you should be okay, but not positive. I my experience this jacket doesn't run big or small. Hope this helps.

I think you want the widest width to match your ski width. 122mm at the tip, i would get the 125mm.

It does have the Polkatex DWR finish. Not sure of the actual differences between the two though.

I am 6' 2" and about 185lbs. I wear a large in this, so i think you should probably grab the XL. The length will help with your extra height and the extra weight will fill it out enough, i suppose. Hope this helps!

I don't know the length difference, maybe on Marmot's website, but i am 6'2" 185 lbs. and have Marmot large for everything. Hope this helped.

They are about 8.5" tall.

Typically ski pants are a little baggy and you can get away with missing some inseam, so i would probably recommend the XL/Regular. You could probably get away with a Large/Regular. I am 6'2", 185lbs., 34X34 and i have worn TNF pants at Medium/Regular. Hope this helps.

Should be no problem. 316mm is about a mondo 26-28 and i have used these with a BD Method 29.

Should be no problem. That is about a mondopoint size 26-28. Should fit pretty much any boot as i have fit a mondo 29 (BD Method) with these.

Yes. You would probably want to clean them every once in a while.

It should be the Ignitor mirror lens. 35% VLT instead of 70% VLT.

Yes, but not recommended. As low as you can go. Warming temp at the highest!!! Work it just like an actual boot over. Warm it up, keep them in there for a few minutes and then pull them out and fit 'em. Use caution!!!

The only question to ask, is if you will be doing technical vertical ice climbing. If you are doing vertical ice climbing then you will need a crampon with vertical front points, like these, and not horizontal. Otherwise, if you are doing glacier travel then the two horizontal front point crampons are the way to go. Make sense?!

Packed size is 7.5 X 15 inches. Basically a cylinder that is 7.5" in diameter and 15" tall. Probably just take a pillow off your bed and fold it twice. That should get you an idea.

Cheers!

Nope. Try SD, BA, or TNF if you need that.

Every harness will essentially give you the same problem. I have climbed in Petzl, Mammut, BD, BW, and Trango. What i do is girth hitch my anchoring sling on one side of the belay loop and tie-in on the other. That usually keeps things under control. I climb in two BD harnesses now and 7.7 twin ropes or a single 10.2 is always fine for me. Hope this helps.

Yes. That boot has front and rear bailer attachments. You are good to go with this combo.

Cheers!

These will be fine. The Khumba isn't very technical, so a horizontal front point is perfect. Clip or pro is up to you. Either will work fine.

The load for testing within BD for protection is always 80kg. I think that is what you were asking. Otherwise the failure strength, in force applied, is in the sizing chart (8kn-14kn).

You have to buy the leashes separate.

It does have pit zips.

Year before. 2010 model has gray/black topsheet and pink sidecut.

Yes you can keep it on and drop trou. This harness is pretty adjustable so make sure you get the right waist size and you should be able to adjust to sizing for legs and waist. I have the same size harness for rock climbing and ice climbing with layers on and everything is good. Hope this helps!!!

I might suggest something else (price and comfort).

Camp USA Alp 95 - cheaper and lighter weight (not sure if bathroom with harness is possible)
BD Alpine BOD harness - cheaper and lighter weight/simpler (bathroom with it on is a go)

Tough to say for sure. All i can say is that i wear a 13 street shoe and have 42 venoms (supertight curled toes, boudlering) and 44 Miuras (toes touching up front). It seems like, with an 11 street shoe you could shoot for 42-43 in Miuras. Sorry i can't be of more help...choose wisely!!!

Extremely well. I have the Vasque M-Possible and i love them for vertical ice and mountaineering. These have front and back bailers so you can get an aggressive crampon too! Cheers

Should be a welded double layer 600d abrasion guard. You can see the seam about halfway down where the fabric changes. That is where you start to get the burlier fabric.

The fit will be almost identical, but the fell and performance with differ a little. The Force is lined and Veloce (will stretch more) is not. The midsole is also thicker on the Veloce (stiffer overall). Hope this helps. Cheers!

I am sure you could fit two boards as long as you take the bindings off of one and stack the boards. Then put the second set of bindings in between the bindings on the top board. That should work to perfection...Good Luck!

If it is this years pole (which i think it is) it will come with full size BD baskets and not the 3/4 basket from years gone by. Cheers!

Honestly once you have used the O1's you will probably just be pissed off. I suppose you could try them out (demo) or something, but ultimately i think you would want your O1's back.

Yes, you can change these baskets.

Think La Sportiva Venom or maybe Mad Rock Mugen for fit. Maybe 5.10 Dragon as well.

Get the 90mm brakes. They should work fine, but if you feel you need a little more you can just bend them a little.

No i wouldn't recommend it, it wouldn't be tight at all. Also, if it is larger than probably a 27 mondo, you wouldn't be able to size it the boot.

As far as i know they don't. The end with the tag is bartacked super tight though, so you shouldn't have the rope biner flipping over or anything. The silver biner might rotate, but the red one will not.

This could be problematic because the S/M is (torso size) 16"-19" and she is probably something closer to 14". Unfortunately BD doesn't make a pack specifically for smaller females (ie. smaller torso size), but you can't know what size she is unless you measure her. I am 6'2" 175lbs. and i wear anything from 18"-20". It just depends...
On that note, you could order the S/M and just return it if it doesn't fit and get a smaller pack and an Avalung sling!

Yes.

Pretty easily. The probe and shovel have their own pocket and the layer and gloves can cram in anywhere, all that packs down well. The goggles can fit well too. Should be enough room for what you described.

These will neither fit or work with your snowboard boots. You need a non-bailer toe and heel step-in crampon. Think Black Diamond Serac Strap. You will also need a extra large spacer bar. Most crampons fit up to size 12, but size 13 will just be too long.

As far as i know it does not. From personal experience using both, you can't go wrong either way, but i enjoy the BD because of the double hanger and the grinder knob.

I would size almost the same as the Dragon. The Jet 7 should be a little wider around the toe box though. Hope this helps.

All i know is as far as fit the Dragons are a little narrower, barely. Other than that you may get a better toe hook out of the Jet 7's for bouldering, but that's about it. Oh, and sizing, i would size about the same as the Anasazis, maybe a 1/2-1 size smaller. Personally i would go with the Dragons. Cheers!

Those holes are HDPE gear loops and the tarp is removable, not the shoulder straps. Not sure why it says they are? Cheers.

The gas canister is a isobutane threaded canister. It screws on to the bottom of the stove and screws off after use. Yes the neoprene sleeve stays on.

Securely? Yes. Guaranteed not to fall out? No. There is the one strap on the bottom to tighten down the pad, but it does not guarantee that things won't fall out.

It would be adequate, but the idea with the BA system is to get the same temp rating bag and pad to make the WHOLE system the right temp. I would go with the Insulated Air Core rated to 15 degrees.

No the photo is simply showing the different sizes and compressions. You order the size you want in the drop down menu.

The bladder goes in the main compartment against the back panel and the tube should come out by the top of the shoulder strap and down the shoulder strap in a zippered sleeve. Cheers.

That is a perfect point and it is completely preferential! This pack does, however, hit the middle of the road for size...not too big or small.

Yes. As long as the stove is threaded (i.e. pocket rocket, jet boil, crux, etc.) it will work.

Get the #.3. The largest i have is a #4 and have only used it 1 or 2 times. The #.3 will be more useful (where you are). I would also add you may be better off getting some smaller 3 cam units like C3s...maybe a #1 and #2. Plus the large hexes can be placed sideways and make pretty good #3-#4 camalot sizes. Good luck.

It will fit about the same. The toe box on the Optimus Prime is pretty blocky, not like the Defy that has a pointy toe. Otherwise it should fit the same, maybe a little snug because it is downturned.

It is a replacement for the Exodus Shoulder Yoke that comes on any Mtn. Hardwear pack with a cruiser frame. It basically replaces the bare bones of the shoulder system in the pack. You will want an in person explanation for this. Hope this helps.

Yes, it is freestanding. It says so in the product description at the corner of the page.

Ok, obviously that is manufacturer defect, also 1 year through BC. Did you send to BC? NO. What I am getting at is it is ONLY manufacturer defect, not wear and tear aka. user abuse. Man, if you sent it back, why ask, through the vendor it is...what is written in the product description is for the retailer. Hey have fun with your "lifetime warranty pack".

For the price you probably can't beat it! You will like the comfort it gives and when you start climbing outside it has enough gear loops to accommodate. Only drawback/decision is whether or not you want adjustable leg loops.

Read the second part of the response. It is at the discretion of the dealer, BC.com, to say how long they will honor that. After that it is left up to Lowe Alpine itself...you would have to deal with them. Plus, if you read that to begin with, and believed it, why the question?!

It is not like REI...Lowe Alpine has a policy like OR. Good luck!

Where does it say lifetime? It only says warrantied against manufacturer defects,

"The warranty does not cover damage caused by accidents or misuse, nor does it cover the natural breakdown of materials which occur over extended use and time. (e.g. zipper failure or fabric abrasion)."

This is not lifetime.

"If it is defective, you have certain statutory rights with the store who sold the product to you."

And this quote confirms that it is at the discretion of the retailer.

Most certainly!

That is a good question. Usually the tensile (static) strength is in lbf. and the breaking (dynamic) strength is in kN. Since this is a static cord the breaking strength is weaker because this should be used only for static conditions (anchors, etc). I think i am right, hope this helps!

This is the shoe for you then. Almost identical in feel and performance as the Aces. Only difference is the wrap over of the fabric in the Mythos is not as "full" as i remember the Aces.

All BA bags have no insulation on the bottom of the bag. This is for two main reasons: one, once insulation is compressed, i.e. lying on top, it does not insulate, so BA cut out the middle man. Second, the back of every BA bag has a full length sleeping pad sleeve that will accommodate the corresponding pad size. BA's pads are 2.5 in. thick and are incredibly comfortable. Sliding the pad in allows for the user to never slide off the pad and compromise the bag temp. rating. Also, the reduction of insulation and minimal fabric usage allows for a slightly lighter bag. I have the Pomer Hoit with an Insulated Air Core pad and the system works perfectly. You can also deflate the pad and pack the two together in one stuff sack. Any pad will fit because of the similar dimensions, they just might not be as snug! I highly recommend the BA sleeping systems.

Just read the note at the end of the product description and BC should fix it. Not using a pad with ANY sleeping bag is just wrong. A bags temp. rating is dependent on a sleeping pad of some sort. A 20 deg. bag with no pad becomes just a piece of fabric as will any other sleeping bag of any temp. rating.

I wear a 12/12.5 in the Anasazis (tight performance fit) and a 43 in the Testarossas. So that is 46/47 down to a 43, so i would suggest a 2.5-3 size down depending on how tight you want them or how tight your Anasazis are.

I would say one size would do it. But it depends on how tight you want them?

Man, talk about an open ended question! As far as tents go, i would look at Marmot, TNF, Big Agnes, Black Diamond, and Mountian Hardwear. They will all have comparable models with similar specs on weight and size. If you are looking for the best bang for your buck i would look at Marmot and Big Agnes. They both seem to get the weight down without really compromising on much else. Maybe the Aeolus from Marmot and the Seedhouse/Copper Spur/Emerald Mnt. lines from Big Agnes. Hope this helps. I am sure you will get multiple answers for this question. Cheers!

I would recommend the Clif Shots and Shot Bloks because they are effective, quick, and actually taste good. I use them for cycling and climbing. Be sure not to get any with caffeine (Cola, and Espresso flavors as far as i know). Hope this helps and thanks for being on that wall for us.

You could use any size as long as it fits in your pack and you have the connection tube with a mouthpiece.

From La Sportiva, not really. You could try the Miuras or the Cobras (slipper), but your best bet might be the Scarpa Visions. They are the same look and feel with lace-up, slightly downturned, but no top rubber. The rand will be a little different. Sorry man. Good luck!

If comfort is the issue go with the Gregory. No contest really. I have used Arc' Teryx, Gregory, Granite Gear, etc. and gregory was the most comfortable. Plus the options and features on the Greg are way better. Micro adjustments, entry points, construction, fit...i think it is all better.

Most likely the Xstream would, but not a pump filter. Cheers!

I have only used the tibloc. The way this thing looks though makes me think there is a spring involved? If there is then i wouldn't work as well. Not sure though. Don't know if this helped?!

Yes it is freestanding. I assume you can get it at a TNF store.

Do you mean fit in the mummy hood? I have the large and i can say that it would probably not fit in any mummy bag. Go with the medium.

Any mountaineering boot that has front and back welts is compatible with this crampon. Lightweight boots usually don't have welts, but they might. The T1 tele boots would have to be on the smaller size and they would not be "compatible" per se, but they would work. Again the tele boots would not be a bomber fit, but they would work as long as they were smaller than 28 mondo maybe!? This maybe a better question for online BC chat to get a precise answer. Good luck!

The bivy pad is probably just the back panel. It should be removable.

Requires the Hinman pad or 2 25"x78" rectangular pads. I don't know if it has the depth for two layers of pads. Good luck.

The Testarossas are way more aggressive because of the last, the fit and the lacing. This shoe is a much tighter performance fit than Miuras and is considerably more downturned than the Miura...considerably! Think (5.10) Dragon/Anasazi (Scarpa) Mago/ Feroce (Evolv) Predator/Pontas comparisons. Hope this helps.

So you are going to be 210-230 lbs.? I would recommend the regular Denalis with the 8 inch tails. The Evos only allow for a 6 inch tail and have less of a footprint. I am 6'2" 175 and have the Evos with 6" tails. I have never had a pack that heavy or a sled...because you are going to be so heavy i would have to recommend the Denalis with the longest tail.

Well it is about 10-12 inches front to back of storage space. It also has a laptop sleeve compartment. Cheers.

That is a great question. The only retort i have is that the Vapor Meridian is just as light and offers an adjustable fitted back, interchangeable belts and straps, and has front access point. Other than that this is a great pack. The real question is why would anyone hike the AT without a Granite Gear pack in general? I mean Trauma's testing alone vilifies the company as a go big or go home pack company!

It does come with a fly. The waterproofness is great, but a footprint would be nice to improve the longevity of the tent floor. You can always by some mil plastic paper at Home Depot and cut out a footprint. That would work just as good as a footprint. You can get a big roll for $20 and cut out as many footprints as you want. This is what i do with all of my tents.

I wear a 13 street shoe and own these exact shoes (old and new) and i would strongly suggest 1/2 size down. You can go a full size down if you want a glove performance fit.

Yeah. You can just stuff it in.

i would probably go with the 190cm.

Haha, that's right, it is a Kershaw! My bad.

There is a strap at the top to cinch them down and i would probably suggest the large because of your performance calves! Plus it is ok to have a little extra fabric, you can always pull them down a little over the boot.

Everyday CRKT knife that is perfect for in and out of the pocket is the Leek. Super nice, strong and spring assisted.

Critically taped usually means the critical seams (shoulders, arm seams, back and seat seams) are sealed and not the arm pit seams, chest seams and hidden seams. Pretty much only the seams that are guaranteed to get soaked get taped. Hope that helps.

I am 6'2" 175 lbs. and i wear Large in everything Marmot. I would suggest the XL for sure.

I don't know for sure, but any pack that size has to be 100 oz. Cheers!

These would be perfect! I also wear a 13 and wear a 43.5 Miura (pretty tight). In the 5.10 shoes i wear about a 11.5-12, so i guess i would suggest a 12 just to be sure. They should not stretch much at all, so again, 12 should be perfect. Hope that helped!

Yes you could. For the screw in i think you would only need some masonry screws, for the T-nuts holds you would actually have to inset the T-nut or bore out a hole with bolt threads that match the bolt. You could call Revolution and ask or call the Silo Gyms in OKC and see how they did it. Hope this helps.

They would protect you from a snake bite, but they are definitely NOT snake bite proof! You can still puncture holes in these gaiters. I think leather is the only way to go against snakes, especially rattlers.

Don't know but i remember them being pretty short to fit around a fat ski. Look at the Voile Strap, cheaper and sized 9-23 in inches!

It fits everything you want just fine. If you want a couple amenities you should look at a bivy with a pole or two. BD makes one and so do Big Agnes and OR. They offer a little head room and keep the fabric off you if you have to zip it up during rain, etc. Check out the Black Diamond Lightsabre, for the money it is the best. Two poles and it only weights 3 oz. more. This TNF will work great for what you want though. Good luck and have fun on the trip.

They are an aggressive all-rounders. Think of the Anasazi lace-up from 5.10 or the Miura from La Sportiva. Both aggressive, but comfortable enough for all-round climbing.

To answer question...
1. OR has an infinite guarantee(the guy from Nordstrom's bought them way back when and duplicated the "lifetime" Nordstrom warranty) so you can take them to any OR dealer and swap them out or have the shop send them in to repair.

2. I am also size 13, 6'2" and 175lbs! (close enough) The large should be fine for the skinny legs. I have pretty athletic legs, but skinny (soccer, climbing, cycling), and they wrap around great and cinch down too.

Good Luck!

On any canister stove it is always recommended and cautioned that a windscreen should NOT be used because the fuel is inside the windscreen and could heat up and explode. There are a couple stoves that have windscreens attached to the stove element and therefore not trapping heat with the canister (Primus has one) but typically you will never see a canister stove come with a windscreen, which would be the first clue that you shouldn't do it. A wind barrier blocking the wind from a foot away or so would be the best option.

Typically down will always work its way out somehow in a down anything! You could seam seal to prevent the problem or seam tape. You should never pull them out if they are sticking out because that simply opens the hole to more. You should try to push any feathers back in to the garment.

I can't speak for this bag or the BD crampon bag (i have cyborgs), but i have a couple friends with G12s and they just got the 12 point rubber tip protectors and then can throw them in their pack. Hope you find something.

Yes, BUT you have to order them from a Yakima dealer and give them your serial number for the other lock cores, so that the tumblers will match your cores you already have. AGAIN, you must order from Yakima.

Top loader access only. If you want more access points Granite Gear and Gregory are the way to go. Cheers!

They actually should not change it. The Skeletool is 420hc steel the Skeletool CX is 154cm. Just depends on the model and this one says only Skeletool.

The Demon doesn't have a dedicated rope management system. However the side compression straps on the Demon will carry a rope for sure. The BD Speed might be a better option and you can remove the top loader for a smaller commuter style pack. Not sure if this will help!

Either will work. I think it might be a little dangerous to light with a flint spark because you might have to leave the gas on longer than you would for a match allowing for a larger flame. I am not sure though. Good luck, don't singe your eyebrows!

They are both really great bags and before this year i would have been hard pressed because the Marmot used to only have a 1/4 zipper. Now the zipper is full length and with the lifetime free refill and $10 wash (Marmot will refill the down in the bag for the life of the bag. That means you basically get a new bag whenever you want!), i would go with the Marmot 10 out of 10 times. The Montbell has some great features (elasticized baffles that "hug" and the cinch foot box) but unless you actually need them, then i don't think they are fully worth it. Plus Marmot was and is at the forefront of the sleeping bag market (They own 1 of only the 3 down facilities in the USA, REI is another, can't remember the third.) and their temp ratings are real world and lab tested to ensure "comfort" and "extremes". Good luck with your choice!

All BA pads come with bags and repair kits.

You are kind of in between. I am 6'2" 180 lbs. and a large is great. I think a large would be good for you, it might be a little long but you are only 4 inches shorter. You should be good.

Yes it does. The suspension allows for this which in turn allows for more ventilation and a place to put a route map on an alpine ascent or to hide a beanie before you want to actually put it on.

I would go by hat size for a general fit. I have a large head and these are perfect for me. I wear a large hat and helmet. About 23 inches for circumference. Hope this helps some.

No. A butane canister is much like a hairspray bottle. They both have completely different connections and fuel mixes. The most important thing is that you make sure that the fuel canister you do get is a thread on like any Isobutane canister will be...not a punch on or a bottle tip insert, but thread on.

Yes. You would have to collapse the shovel handle or take it off, but it would definitely fit into a 32L pack.

I think the best thing to do is to order them directly from BD. The antiballing plates will still work with the crampon, you just need a different adjustment bar. However...i have size 12.5 Vasque M-Possible boots with these exact crampons and i still have two notches before my bar maxes out. So if you are the same size you might be fine. Just thought i would let you know. Cheers.

Someone correct me if i am wrong, but i believe the opener "hook" is under the handle. They just didn't show it in the picture.

I disagree with Angus. Any hydration pack that has any water in it balloons and would make the outside pocket smaller...considerably. If you are just using it for storage and not using the bladder or hydration capability then go for it, but then it just becomes a bag. I might recommend the BD BBee pack or Bullet, or a larger Camelbak pack. Again, this pack is fine if you will use it only as a pack and not for hydration which is what it is intended for and equipped for.

By the way, i have a Lobo, which is pretty much the same thing, and i have never been able to fit a DSLR body and one lens, much less two. At least not safely and securely.

Those two are almost the exact same tool except for the grip and hand rest on the Anaconda. I would get the Anaconda for any mixed because of the grip and hand rest. I don't know if i would use these for strictly mixed climbing either...they don't have a very aggressive geometry for easy pick placement in cracks and on crimps. I would suggest Coyote, Nomic, Viper, reactor, or cobra...your call though. Good luck!

I would say no. That front pocket would probably hold the body of a DSLR with no lenses at all. You are going to want 800-1000 cu. in. pack for what you want.

Integrated leg loop adjusters simply means that there is elastic at the leg joint and it "adjusts" to your leg size.

You can see them in the photo. There are three webbing sections at the leg joint, one is elasticized.

Medium for sure. I am 6'2" 175 and the large is good.

The inseam on a small is 28"-30". Since i am 6'2" and need about a 34" inseam from my hips, i think a small MIGHT work for you. They might be an inch or two long.

I think this is actually three pieces. The biner, clip and belay device. The master clip is $8.50 and the belay device is $25.95. The Fatboy HMS (which i think is the biner that comes with the set) is $13.95 which makes buying all three $50. So the set is $4-$5 cheaper.

There should be tabs at each end of the tent with tiny holes in them for stake insertion. The tabs have very small slits and i believe 3 or 4. Go to Marmot's website and watch the setup videos, you will see what i am talking about. If the tabs don't have stake holes then you get a crazy limited edition tent! Return it and get one with tabs.

All of the Hubbas will do just fine in 3 season winds. I do know first hand that if it is in the desert, then you should get ready for some sand to be in your tent. The mesh is so breathable!

It should pack into one of the hand pockets. All the older ones did, don't know for sure about this one.

depends on what setup you have. I would say you could get away with something like a Pocket Rocket or Giga Power, but maybe not a liquid stove, they just take a little more room. Technically you shouldn't cook in the vestibule (or tent) at all, but i am guessing you know that and this is in emergencies. Good luck.

Any pack over 22L should be compatible with 100 oz. bladder.

This jacket should have the new Riri aquazippers on it. If that is the case, and i am 90% sure it is, then you couldn't even get a fire hose to force water through the Goretex Proshell and Riri zippers. The zipper is still welded but way more durable because of the interlock that is used. Riri zips are the new thing and they perform...period!

If you want to comfortably fit 2 people and gear in a 2p tent at a weight way less than this, then i would suggest the Marmot Aeolos. Way more room (bent knees at the tent tabs), huge head room (cross poles), beefy strength (camming clips and sleeve combo), 2 doors 2 vestibules and weight under 6lbs. Buy the Aeolos, or at least get inside one. I am 6' 2" and could eeasily sleep with someone my same size and have a good 12" of wiggle room.

Define boxing gear? This will hold a few books and a change of gym clothes, but no gloves, tape, shoes, head gear, etc. This will basically hold 5-7 nalgene bottles.

Never skied them, but just from the dimensions i would have to say no. Anything 80 underfoot probably won't cut it.

Absolutely!

This harness is pretty sweet! It has the same type of design as the new Arc Teryx harnesses in that the padding is very thin and lightweight. Unlike the Dead Bird harnesses, the BD Ozone, Chaos and Aura have padding as well as super lightweight design, instead of the sometimes uncomfortable no padding Arc Teryx harnesses. The gear loops are also very good and again i think they are a little better than most others out there. These are incredibly comfortable and user friendly. I just wish they made one with ice clipper slots!

Honestly i think so. The dimensions are pretty big and your dimensions don't really fit the ski's. Plus it is Rocker and that will help with any float problems. In the end i think the ski will just be too much for you (your dimensions) to handle. I might even have a problem with the 189cm (i am 6'2" 175lbs. and that is what i would normally ride), i might get the 179cm!

Just depends on how you ski and what you ski. I am 6'2" 175 and i would be happy with 176cm since the underfoot, shovel and tail are so huge. But...if i were exclusively doing deep backcountry powder or had this as the specific ski just for that, i might get the 183. Also, where are you skiing? I am in CO and will probably never need something that big. Just depends i guess.

Yes, but does your boot have a back welt? Otherwise you will want to exchange for the step in Cyborgs and not the welt compatible bailer Cyborgs, that you have now.

Honestly i think that is enough holds. It all depends on the problems you are making and the feature of the wall. Is this vertical 20 feet? because a typical indoor route going that high has maybe 15-20 holds, with feet, (the gyms i have worked at have had 35ft walls and typically a route had 20-25 holds) in which case this would be enough. But you also want a variety of holds. If this is 20 horizontal, than you will want a few more, but more different types/sizes than just more quantity. I have worked for a few indoor gyms (East and Mountains) and climbed in 100s of competitions, to make a good boulder problem takes maybe 10-15 holds and just takes creativity and imagination...also calls for comfort. Do what comes naturally, learn to set and climb and then branch out. There is a good book from REI on Indoor Route Setting, you should get it. Oh and 1 hold per sq. ft. is good, if you can use it all, but i am assuming that you won't use most of the bottom and top corners or most of the top foot and bottom foot of the wall, so depending on orientation, that saves you some sq. ft.

These are "different" than the Thruster and the most apparent reason for the pricing is that there is only 1 pair of smalls left. Also, over all i think the Thruster are a more popular binding and therefore they can go for a higher price, lower discount.

I am 6'2" and 175 and the large is good. I would do size medium. What waist (hips, where i actually wear them) are you? I am 33ish.

277mm and 287mm respectively.

These would be a great option. They are heavier than other AT bindings, but since you will be inbounds most of the time they will be great. Since they are heavier/burlier, they will hold up well to inbounds skiing. The lower profile is great for inbounds as well. The brake will fit over your skis (i have BD Kilowatts, 95mm) with the 110mm brake arms.

This is a great boot and you can never go wrong with Sportiva, but the Scarpa SL M3 is probably one of the best boots i have ever worn. I have multiple friends that have worn it as well and praise the comfort and longevity of the boot. Either one is a great buy...hope this helped and didn't add to the dilemma. Also this La Sportiva is crampon compatible. Do you need that, that generally means a much stiffer boot. Just something to think about. Cheers.

When did you get it? The new Supersafe is Blue on Blue. I have last seasons and it is Green and Yellow. That is probably my best guess. Is the diameter close to the Supersafe (10.2)??? Or the Revelation, but that is 9.2.

It depends on the type of fit you want. I size down in Scarpa about 3 sizes, but i like a glove fit. I would size down probably 1 size if you want a good fit and 1.5-2 if you are looking for a glove fit. This shoe will also stretch about 1/4-1/2 size down the road. Oh, 7-7.5 US is 37.5-38 Euro.

I know this answer is really late, but better late than never. If you haven't bought tools yet i can highly recommend these. The shaft diameter is much like the BD Reactor, not super familiar with the Aztar. The handle is grippy, a trigger can be installed, and the hole at the top is for an extra leash or some sort of extra attachment. The leash is webbing all around the loop, but cinches tighter with the velcro. The leash does attach at the knob, but the knob is a push button and all you do to take the leash off the tool is push in and rotate (it is a lot like the android from BD). Hope that helps.

Just as fast and more practical when it comes to maintenance and improvisation if it breaks. Super strong though, just like the BOA, so i don't see it breaking and have never seen one broken. My shoes are 4 years old and still kicking hard.

Ice clippers! For holding ice screws off of your harness while mountaineering.

As far as i know (never used it in the scenario you describe) the DSP offsets beacon responses by a millisecond to make sure you hear all the beacons. You can flag one at a time and still get the multiple beeps. Again, i have not used it in the situation you describe. Plus, i think if you have 4 searching you could flag one at a time and basically do a process of elimination to find the exact spot for each beacon.

Between those two shoes there is not really a comparison. However, if you combined the two of those you might get the Feroce. The Testerossa is too downturned and has a tighter toe-box and the Katana is the opposite, not as downturned and a bigger toe-box. The Miura might be more of a comparison. As far as fit goes i would shoot for a 1/2 size bigger if you wear climbing shoes tight. I wear a 43 Katana and Miura and a 44 in Feroce.

I have owned D and T grip shovels and don't notice a huge benefit from the d grip other than it is easier to grab.The different grip is based on what glove/mitten you wear. With a T-grip you can't use a mitten, at least with ease. All BD shovels have a ground out T-grip so you can use either mitten or glove.

Don't know about a sunroof, but i commute 40 min. everyday and don't hear anything. I do have a fairing.

There is jacket to pant compatibility. There are fabric loops on the hip sides and i believe centered in the back so that most Burton jackets can use the button loops to attach. Hope that helped.
