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.

No, this is a fixed pole. The length doesn't change.

It's a necessity, it won't do anything without activating it.

That really depends on how much you're moving around and how cold it is, but if you're at the minimum of activity (standing still), it should be fine down to about 15 degrees. If you're walking, running, hiking, or anything else, I'd say down below zero.

They're not available in that color.

Backcountry.com doesn't ship to France, unfortunately. Here's a list of the countries they do ship to:

http://sales.liveperson.net/hc/s-9551721/cmd/kbresource/kb-945006640261677754/view_question!PAGETYPE?sc=84&sp=94&;sf=101133&documentid=239530&action=view&VisitorProfile=BCS&MESSAGEVAR!home=no&MESSAGEVAR!cookie=no

They are based in the US (Salt Lake City, UT to be exact) and they do ship to other countries. Here's a list of countries they can ship to:

http://sales.liveperson.net/hc/s-9551721/cmd/kbresource/kb-945006640261677754/view_question!PAGETYPE?sc=84&sp=94&;sf=101133&documentid=239530&action=view&VisitorProfile=BCS&MESSAGEVAR!home=no&MESSAGEVAR!cookie=no

No, it's not waterproof. It'll protect from a little sweat, but not a full bladder's worth of liquid.

All of them, in various sizes. Check the pulldown menu, that's what's in stock.

Not really, it's a pretty rich brown. The detail shots are of a different color jacket, so that's kind of misleading. This jacket is on its way out, which is why there's virtually no selection. If you want this year's colors (and more variety in sizing), just copy and paste TNF4640 into the search bar and you'll get the current model.

It's not a stupid question. Really it's up to you. It's certainly long enough to be snug on your head and doubled over the ears, or you can wear it unfolded and it'll be a bit floppy on your head. It's just a matter of personal preference and/or whether it can contain your dreads.

They have a bib too. You can see it in some of the detail photos.

You can definitely use it in the Southern Hemisphere, no adjustments necessary. The GPS satellites cover the entire earth without focusing on any area in particular, they don't care where you are.

No it's not. You could use it for spring skiing or as a midlayer for winter skiing, but it's not especially warm (200 weight), it's not windproof so your warmth will get stripped away pretty quickly while you're skiing, and it's not waterproof at all. I'd recommend it only as a midlayer under a windproof, waterproof outer layer or as a spring jacket for walking around in, not a winter ski jacket.

I'm also 5'9"and 145 pounds and I wear a medium in the jacket, so I'd recommend a medium on that basis. It's a little loose-fitting, enough to get a few layers underneath and not restrict motion, so if that's what you're going for then go for medium. If you want it closer to skin with just a light baselayer, a small is probably a better option. Hope that helps.

Yes, Poland is one of the countries Backcountry ships to internationally. Keep in mind that shipments outside of the USA may be subject to tariffs, value added tax (VAT), and stuff like that. To see how much shipping will cost, put the item in your cart and enter your address.

Yes. 100% sure.

They'll keep water out no matter how hard it's raining, but I'd make sure you dry them out in between. The stitching won't last as long if it's constantly wet.

I'd go with the Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero or North Face Nuptse for a heavier, cold-weather jacket and the Patagonia Down Sweater or North Face Thunder for a lightweight sweater-type jacket. This jacket is really warm and so light you won't notice it's on, but zero percent waterproof. Definitely good to browse on your own, and ask the Gearheads on Live Chat if you want more help, they're great.

It's both shell and under glove. Two separate pairs to combine as you will.

No, it'll be the ones you see in the picture. If you order two sets, it'll be two of each.

Because the guy who modeled the shirt for that photo has little man-boobies and wide hips. It's a stretchy shirt, it'll fit whatever body type, boobies or not, that you have.

Absolutely. It's like store credit, you can spread it out as much as you want. I'd advise purchases no smaller than $50 though, you don't want to spend your certificate on shipping.

Nope, I tried that. It has to be used on Backcountry, unfortunately.

Yes it does. Burton hasn't changed their sizing template for a while.

No worries necessary. I've been using this mug with hot water for 2 years. No softening has occurred.

They do indeed. All Smith goggles and helmets fit really well.

Nope. None of them can take it.

Nope, there are 7 Tawny in M and 2 Cherub in M, but that's it.

They're really waterproof. They do have mesh panels, under which is a Gore-Tex membrane that keeps water out.

You can, it's just that they're single-wall so if you fill it with hot liquid, the bottle itself will get very hot.

I've worn both the light, sporty varieties and the all-day varieties of BD's most recent line and Arc'teryx's hyperthin harnesses and I prefer the BD ones. They feel a little more substantial and I also found them more comfortable in hard falls and long hangs (consecutive hanging rappels for instance). I would say that if you're into all-day trad climbing, the Xenos isn't really the harness best suited to your needs though. That's more of an ice climbing harness, and has BD's ice screw clips on it for just such occasions. The Chaos is the best BD harness for all-day, trad-climbing trips, and I've been loving it for months now.

Sensor Mirror, hands down.

$250 is very cheap for a shell? Not really.

Just water resistant. Not waterproof. It's intended to be used in temperatures where water is not often liquid.
