Well it's a balaclava with openings for your eyes and mouth, so I'd say yes, it'll work.

The K2 inserts on the skis (which I'm assuming yours have) line up with several brands of binding, G3 included. Once you decide where to mount, it's just a matter or a small Allen wrench and about 30 minutes assembly. Easiest thing in the world.

There is no lining or insulation. It is windproof and waterproof, but you'll need to layer it with something to actually keep you warm.

I'm with Lyric. The guy in the gym was just trying to impress you with a "this isn't a joke man, you could die out there" demonstration that was completely irrelevant to the question. These are great draws.

No. North Face doesn't use real fur, nor do they custom-make jackets.

Please do. It'll work better if you don't take the clothes off first.

You can do whatever you want with it. Stop asking moronic questions.

You really have nothing to do and an extremely stunted grasp of waxing. Allow me to walk you through this.
Case - to hold everything in
Edge Tuner - pretty self explanatory, but you seem like a bit of a mouth breather, so listen up: it's for tuning edges
10 in. file - for smoothing off the rougher scratches in the edges before taking the edge tuner to them
Cleaning brush - for cleaning out a core shot and then cleaning off the little bits of P-tex when you fix a core shot so they don't get waxed in
Metal Scraper - for slicing down the P-tex so it's flush with the ski
Wax Scraper - for shaving off excess wax after the iron goes over it
Pocket stone - more detailed edge work
All-temp wax - the entire reason to wax in the first place
Scotchbrite pad - often overlooked, used to work the wax into every contour of the base and smooth it in one direction
Tuning tips pamphlet - for people like yourself who seem to think that waxing means melt some on, iron it, and go.

It's used for repairs, filling core shots and the like, not just general waxing. And it's not bad for your skis if you use it right.

Probably not, but I'd put it away dry to prolong the life of the fabric anyway.

They will work with traditional bindings as I mentioned above, but even if you don't have the box, you can return them in another box and will have no problems.

Yes, they will. Most people would probably put them in AT bindings, but either way, they'll work.

Absolutely. I wore this for the first time at Red Rocks in December, where it was about 40 degrees with around 30-45 mph winds, and not a wisp got through. It's a fantastic jacket.

You don't have to hit a button to see the time, unless it's dark and you're using the backlight.

Definitely not. They're lightweight windproof fleece gloves, no waterproofing at all.

It's a men's boot.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, Lyric. I guess if you were trying to integrate the Avalung into the pack directly, it would be a problem, but that would be stupid. The Avalung on its own is intended to be worn close to the body, even under your outer shell of clothing, and any pack can be worn over it. The Avalung-equipped packs run the breathing tube up through the shoulder strap, so it wouldn't work the same way to try to combine them. In addition, an Avalung goes for $130 retail, a Covert for $120, and a Covert Avalung for $220, so you're saving 30 bucks getting the integrated pack. If you're not going to do that, though, I'd just wear the Avalung like it's supposed to be worn with a pack over it. That's how it was intended to be used anyway.

You assume wrongly. If you look in the Tech Specs, you'll see that it only fits the Holt and the Hustle, and according to the reviews the Hustle doesn't even fit that well.

The temperature ratings on sleeping bags are generally in Fahrenheit.

If you're not joking, then tights are absolutely the wrong way to go. As is skiing. No one wants to see a fat person in tights. Lose 250 pounds first, then go skiing.

The only place the word "refurbished" appears on this page is in your question. If you're referring to the recycled fleece, then neither. It means that old fleeces that were sent in were melted down to create new fabric, which is less wasteful.

Turn your goddamn caps lock off, it makes you sound like a toddler. The answer is no. This jacket is designed to be used in true extreme conditions, and that's "extreme" by Antarctic standards, not California standards. The reason they used real fur is that in temps as cold as this jacket is intended to be used in, synthetic fake fur will shatter. My point is that if you're ever in a situation where you actually need this jacket (which is highly unlikely), you'd be suicidal to take the fur off the hood. It's keeping your brain from freezing, so it doesn't come off.

The fabric is windproof, but it appears to be stitched through rather than baffled so there might be cold spots at the seams where the insulation is thinner. Mountain Hardwear makes a coat called the Downtown (just put "MHW1259" in the search box) that's very similar and a bit warmer, plus the hood is deeper and it's got a removable faux fur trim to keep the wind off your face. It's only about $20 more, has a higher fill count, more pockets, and is a little longer too, so unless you're fiercely loyal to TNF as a brand, I'd suggest looking pretty hard at that. Picture of it on the left.

It looks like just the hood, mainly for the style and bright color of the plaid showing on the inside of the hood. Doesn't look like the rest of it is lined.

Definitely. Keep in mind that the fuller the bladder is, the more space it'll take up inside the pack and the Kode 22 is only 22L to start with.

It has adjustable declination, but it's not automatic. That means she'll have to know how to adjust it herself or her readings won't work.

I'm probably one of the only outdoor nerds that is also a computer nerd. I gotcha. I think 2.0 is reserved for the Droid and a couple of HTC jackets, but you can tweak your older model to run most of the new apps. Good luck.

I'm not going to copy this on to all your questions, because you've already cluttered the page enough.

You have clearly no grasp of how this Q&A system works. It is not a live chat, it does not happen in real time, and there is no one waiting for you to ask questions. If you want all that, click the Live Chat button in the upper right corner of the page. It's white and says "CHAT NOW" in white letters. These questions simply get posted on the page, and someone who knows the answer may or may not stumble across it. It could be within minutes, or it might never get answered. Some of us who answer questions (other Backcountry.com users such as yourself) are more attentive than others, but again, there are no guarantees.

As to your incessantly repeated question, the easiest way to check if a given color/size is in stock is to click on the pulldown menu just to the right of the photo labeled "Select Options" and see if it's on the list. The inventory is updated in real time, so if it's on the list, it's in stock. As you can see in about 5 seconds by clicking on that menu, the 3T IS available in Sea Pink. Because it's on the list, you can rest assured that it's in the warehouse.

Next time, have a little patience or, if you don't have time, get on Live Chat.

That's not how this works. If you want Live Chat, it's the white button in the very upper right corner of the page. This is a question directed at the other people who visit the site; it will take at least a few hours to get answered, days or more if no one can address it. If you need an immediate answer, get on Live Chat.

They're perfect for that. They're designed to take daily wear and tear, and of course they're completely waterproof and will absolutely keep you warm and dry.

I'm with Shane in regards to flat light, whiteout, overcast, etc, but I've found it too bright on sunny days. If you're going to be skiing mostly in sun with occasional overcast, I'd go Platinum Mirror. If the majority of your days will be gray, I'd say the Sensor Mirror.

Also, the basket isn't fixed in one position. It rotates pretty freely, so if it's oriented wrong, just spin it.

I'm not sure if you're asking if they're made of titanium of if they're the color of titanium. In either case, the answer's no.

It has no insulation or heating of any kind.

Looks a little like the lake at Hell's Gate above Aspen in CO.

It's a B for Burton.

The Wetsand, Iced Lilac, and Natural Grey are all still in stock in size 6. You clearly have made absolutely no effort to determine that for yourself. All the available sizes and colors are in the "Select Options" pulldown menu, so if clicking the mouse isn't too taxing, you can look there.

You can get the white bindings and then put whatever brakes you want on them, though you might have to buy them separately. It's easy to swap brakes for fat skis.

Also 10 degrees is not sub-zero. In that it is greater than 0.

I say go for it. To address knanier's point, I REALLY hope you're not worried about getting your crashpad dirty. Assuming you know what it's for, that should not be a concern. Do strap it down hard, though.

None of these has a mesh top, and only the Navy is still in stock in size 6. If you're actually looking for mesh and not just the gaps in the leather, there are none. Not a single one. That is not a feature of this shoe, regardless of size or color.

Nice to see some genuine scientific curiosity, even if this isn't really the venue you'd expect it in. The answer is no. Heat is lost from your body in three ways: conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is through direct contact with something cold, like holding an ice cube, but since there's no air to touch, that won't be a problem. Convection is when air currents pull warm air away from you and replace it with cold air, which then gets you cold via conduction. This is how down jackets work; they make a pocket of warm air around you and keep it from being circulated away. Again, if there's no air, that won't make a difference either. Radiation is heat leaving your body via infrared light, which is created wherever there is heat. Space blankets work by reflecting that back at your body, so they don't need any insulation. That's also how spacesuits work. Down jackets, unfortunately, won't contain radiated heat, so to (finally) answer your question, if you were to wear this jacket on the moon, you would be as good as naked.

That's how Steep and Cheap works. It's one deal at a time for about 20 minutes or until inventory runs out, marked down from 50-80%. You only get the discounted price on SAC if you catch it before the time runs out.

Platinum Mirror is extremely reflective without being unnecessarily dark.

I think that's a misprint. The OTHER Stoic softshell has an MP3 pocket, they must have gotten the tags mixed up.

I've got this helmet and the brim hasn't been a problem. It's a little inconvenient, but not really an issue. It's just a little tricky to keep them balanced on the brim.

Rid Stiff, without question.

You just need the cartridges, all the other parts are the same.

It's a half/double rope. All the info you need is in the Tech Specs on the right side of the page.

XL/TG is multilingual, it means eXtra Large/Tres Grande. For the French speakers.

Yes. Convection currents will make this a very poor-performing cold weather pad. BA makes some similar pads with thinsulate lining that are excellent in the cold.

No. I can't believe you asked the same question three times without checking the Tech Specs, where it CLEARLY SAYS that the pants are made of four-way stretch polyester with Ciba antimicrobial treatment. Pay more attention.

Yes you can. Easily.

They're not affected by temperature, though if it's above freezing, you probably won't need them.

If you're NOT trying to fit them into toe clips, though, they'll work pretty well. Not as well as normal shoes, obviously, they're a bit cumbersome, but definitely the best option if you want to keep your feet warm and dry on a bike. I bought these for exactly the same reason (biking in CO) and they're about 1/4" wider than the shoes I normally ride with.

That is exactly what I was going to say. Especially in Jet Black.

It does not. I took a photo so you can see for yourself.

You can wear them skiing in Canada in the winter, but they're not insulated, so you'll have to wear long underwear or something depending on the temperature.

89 cm is 35 inches, which suggests a large. The sizes are all laid out in the Tech Specs on the right side of the screen.

These are, no offense, extremely ghetto bindings. I personally have skied with G3s and found them decent, Bishops and Hammerheads and found them decent, but I cannot recommend the Black Diamond O2 higher. They are a fantastic binding, low maintenance, fantastic flex curve, the best on the market in my opinion. I'd get the Ridiculously Stiff cartridges because you're a big guy on a fairly stiff setup. The O1 is also the same binding, but with a touring option. If you don't need the touring option, they're too expensive. O2s though, definitely.

Yeah I wouldn't use it inside the tent. Use it in the vestibule if you have to, but with a flap open for ventilation.

The chest and upper back. Just around the core.

Given that the back is only about 2 inches high, it doesn't seem like you'd accomplish much by waterproofing them.

It's just a cotton sweatshirt.

There's black, but this bag is getting discontinued, so what's in there right now is all you get.

They're already waterproof, why would you want to do more?

I think it'll be far too warm for that kind of heat, it's meant to be a winter baselayer, not a wicking warm weather layer.

Getting new socks is not going to improve your "game and shirt". Your use of all caps and appalling grammar only serves to reiterate the intelligence level of someone who thinks their socks are holding them back.

It is thin and stretchy and not waterproof. It's just the bib, they're assuming your jacket will go down below that line and waterproofing the bib won't be an issue.

I'm pretty sure you push in to release the tension.

It's a fantastically warm jacket. It would be extremely well suited towards any cold-weather activity.

It's a dark grey color, yes.

I've been skiing in Colorado for the past six years, and what you say is true. I've seen 15-degree blizzards and 35-degree bluebird days on consecutive days. My strategy was to get the non-insulated Freedom pant from North Face, and then on hot days I wear no long underwear and keep the side vents open. On cold days, wear more insulation and keep the vents closed. My thought was that you can never wear less insulation than what's built into the pants, so I decided I wanted more freedom to regulate temperature.

Get on Live Chat with your order number and if it hasn't shipped yet, they can change it. Otherwise they'll have to go through UPS, and that doesn't always work.

I'd say the midstiff, as far as the skiing goes. Though, given your username, you seem like you might be into flexing free.

You have to select free (7-14 day) shipping, it's not selected by default.

I know, with absolute certainty, that it will not keep you warm on its own if the temperatures are that low. You need either a lot of layering or a much heavier jacket.

They are fully waterproof, but I feel I should point out that if it's 25 degrees out, water won't be liquid. It'll all be frozen, so waterproofing won't be an issue.

No guarantees, but Norrona is Swedish, so I'm guessing length in cm. So a 100 would be 39 inches long. If you have a 32 inch waist, add 6 inches of slack is 38, which is 96 cm so the 95 would work. I'd check with the Live Chat guys, but that makes sense in my head.

You should get on Live Chat and ask about that, I've done so in the past and gotten items matched. It really depends on what Backcountry paid for them in the first place.

I agree with Ty entirely in terms of warmth, but this fabric won't take nearly as much abuse as the MH Sub Zero. It won't be as warm, but if you're going to be scraping on rocks or tree branches, there's a much higher chance of this jacket tearing.

No, it's not. I'd suggest getting something more like 15-20K. 5K will be clammy and won't last long before it starts letting water through.

The Down Sweater isn't nearly as warm as the MH Sub Zero. Not even close. I'd say they'd both be fine in 0 Celsius—in fact that's close to the upper limit for the MH—but the Down Sweater would not be nearly warm enough in 0 Fahrenheit. The MH SZ would be perfect for that.

Definitely.

Nothing, just design.

Strictly speaking, no. It does have a second display though (far right window).

I demoed these in the 182 length last winter, and they were fantastic. I thought they'd be too much to handle, since I'm only 150 pounds and 5'9", but in the deep powder it absolutely wasn't an issue. One thing that Alexander mentioned is the turn radius. I really only used them on powder days, so when I get back on the groomers I just want to bomb back to the lift for another run, but they really don't turn on hard snow very well. In the deep stuff the rocker punches it through the turn quite well, but if you're on harder stuff, no such luck.

This will definitely fill all your needs and go above and beyond, but I'd recommend a large. Arc'teryx gear tends to be pretty form-fitting and you may want room for layers.

Pull up or push down on the knob. That should do it.

I've skied with other BD packs of similar size and construction, and they've been fantastic, so this one should be just as good. Also, if you look at the page, you can see that Chris Davenport and Renan Ozturk both love it. I'm not sure if you know who these two people are, but rest assured that they have beaten the bejesus out of every piece of gear they use. If they like the pack, it's a good pack.

The small size is a 28 x 28 square, 27 inches high, and the big one is a 32 x 32 square. Same height. For future reference, information like that can usually be found in the Tech Specs, as shown in the photo.

Not even close. This is just heavy cotton fabric, it is a bit windproof but has very little insulation at all.

The whole helmet is covered in the word "Giro" repeated over and over in a grid. It's hard to make out, but I attached a detail shot from Giro's website. Hope that helps.

No, they don't. The Smith website is the best place to get extra lenses.

Definitely. It'll work best on a stiff plastic boot, but any hiking boot should handle that slope easily with these.

I'd go with the 169 again. It'll feel more familiar in tight situations since you already have 169s, and the Pontoon is so effing fat that you should have no issues sinking in powder, especially if you're a fast skier. That also means you'll be able to turn a bit better, since the 169s are lighter and easier to whip around.

In addition to the unlimited return policy, they'll pay for return shipping and send you a new one extra fast if you get on Live Chat and tell them what happened. I did that with a Nalgene bottle and the new one arrived the day after I sent the old one. I'd try that first. You can get to Live Chat by clicking the white "CHAT NOW" button at the top right corner of the page.
