I recommend Mountain Hardwear Power Stretch gloves. Dry quickly and half the $. Ideal for skiing and other cold-weather sports.

You'll never know if you don't try - Snowshoeing is the perfect way to revel in winter. The basic movement is just like hiking and you'll pick up on it very quickly. To add It's low impact easy on your knees and is a relatively safe sport. If you have any other question about snowshoeing feel free to email @ runningbuddha@msn.com and if you do venture forth let me know how it goes.

The two size options sound like a poor fit for you - take a look at The North Face Bamboo Liner Glove men's small or women's Mountain Hardwear Power Stretch Glove.

There’s probably a reason why Montrail stopped manufacturing this boot in 07’ if you’re looking for a good deal on waterproof boots check out backcountry outlet.

If you want warm feet I recommend SmartWool socks
There is the Smartwool PhD Ski Racer Sock

Elastic waist only no draw string

the carrying capacity is not ideal for a small midday meal especially if you add in the hydration bladder but a squashed pb&j always taste delicious in the backcountry.

That's a hard find but you can try to contact the company Naja pick Ref: 9047 info@simond.com

My daughter is a size 12.5 and her foot fits nicely in youth size 1. For kids I recommend a size up especially since they grow so fast.

Stanley released a statement - Both the Camp/Mug bowls are now being manufactured with BPA-Free Eastman Tritan copolyester plastic and they will state that they are BPA-free on the packaging but it’s still possible you may find a few products such as the Camp/Mug floating around on retail shelves containing Bisphenol-A.

Weight: 36 oz. (1.03 kg.) in medium sizes

Snowshoe bindings are very compatible and fit many types of boots. In wintertime the most important factor is having dry, warm, and comfortable feet.
I recommend a good hiking boot with some sort of waterproof option and better one that flexes at the ball of the foot. If you’re going to use snowboard boots I’d take a closer look at the brands that are Snowboard Boot Compatible you can check the Tech Specs for this info.

Dimensions: 3.5" tall x 4.25" diameter

Yes same size and also keep in mind to be zip in compatible 1 bag needs to be left zip and the other bag a right zip.

14 in stock only color available is the Sandstone/Gray

NB 909 can handle a little pavement even some treadmill running but I wouldn’t take it as far as a street trainer plus the pavement will wear the treads down much faster.

Not sure why BC tech specs is wrong?
Pockets - two hand pockets and a rear zippered stash pocket

The eLastane stretch is only a small percent of the shell fabric but it’s just enough to be annoying.

To help u gauge size - I have a small frame usually I wear a medium/small in outerwear and the Granite Tors large fits me well. I like the extra space so I can wear a fleece layer when the temps drop.

33% Merino wool, 33% polypropylene, 32% nylon, 2% spandex

The Black Diamond Trail shock poles are a tad heavy but extremely strong/durable and the FlickLock adjustability will provide you with very wise choice for ultras. Your first instinct may be to go with a super thin lightweight pole but when running you’ll want something durable which you can actually lean on and trust especially late in the day of an Ultra.

These have an adjustable waistband

Fully Seam-Sealed - Columbia carefully tape and seal every seam, so no water can possibly get through.

How much oil we talkin here – buckets from the Alaskan oil fields or a splash here and there? The Slingblade is a hiking/backpacking boot it’s probably not oil resistant like a work boot.

I recommend Nikwax Nubuck and Suede Waterproofing for footwear. I use the Nikwax products on all my gear, easy to apply and it works. check it out http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Nikwax-Nubuck-Suede-Spray-On-Footwear-Treatment/NIK0045M.html

Mountain Hardwear just released the classic Nitrous 800-fill goosedown jacket in a hooded version.

The Keen Genoa Peak has a moisture wicking textile
Keen Genoa Peak WP – has the KEEN.DRY Waterproof breathable membrane. Also on the WP Keen added a protection plate and a better traction. More bang for the buck.

Tick-tock. I’d go with the nylon webbing for sweating and overall comfort but the Scout leather band will take much more abuse in the long run. Nylon webbing can start to fray at the edges. It’s a personal choice – or buy 2 like Bossman recommends.

Black webbing with silver face - like the photo. Backcountry also has the Nixon Scout in all balckhttp://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Nixon-Scout-Watch-Mens/NIX0013M.html

Large:
19.5-21.5in. / 30-52in. / 1,600cu. in. (26 liters) / 24oz. (0.68kg.)

No these are not waterproof- recommend use is casual, work

I'd go with the large for comfort and the medium if you want a more performance next to skin fit.

Yes it's refillable and designed to fit inside most chalk bags.

It’s a fancy label for 100% polyester with odor control

Recommended Length add 8 in for surf and 10 in for touring over height

No it does not.

around 10oz

No this jacket does not have the adjustable hem cinch cord like some other NF jackets.

Casual warmth – perfect for summer evenings when the wind kicks-up in the mountains or along the coast.

Yes the race vest has a removable 2 Liter Hydration Bladder

Marmot hasn't designed the Nano Pant “yet” but the PreCip pants comes in black and work extremely well.

I see the need, sounds like a fun project! Would you be able to make a sport route, set up clip in anchors along the silo then lead climb? Best of luck

What a great place to build an indoor rock wall. My best advice - check with your local indoor climbing gym they’re a wealth of knowledge and would certainly have a distributor name for you or on the cheaper side you maybe you could set up a fixed bolt with some slings and carabiners similar to top roping outside. How many routes are you planning to have?

It has an adjustable back strap

This is more of a summer/fall boot great for hiking trails with mud, water and rocks, they will work fine for ur trip with a pair of smartwools and if need extra warmth toss in some toe warmers but for serious winter hiking I would suggest buying a boot with gore-tex something like La Sportiva FC 3.0 GTX-XCR Hiking Boot..nothing beats Gore-Tex XCR. Happy travels

Machine wash will do the trick but I recommend you air-dry after washing, for quick wash in summer I soak my hats in Woolite then hang dry.

No it's a crash pad not a backpack

It's not color display.

If by accommodate you mean to hold foot comfortably without crowding I would say probably not but fit painfully maybe, I know Montrail used to make a Hardrock WIDE. Also remember with backcountry.com’s great exchange policy you can return them if they don’t fit correctly.

Once a squeaker always a squeaker, actually they may just take a few runs to break in but with ur toes being jammed if you run downhill your toes will get hammered plus it’s always good to leave a little extra room for foot swelling.

YES - - - If you typically wear bulky, cushioned trail runners then it may take a little getting use too.

The great thing about most microsuede leather is it's machine washable -plus it has a lifetime warranty so you can't go wrong.

With your knee/calf issues I would highly recommend getting the CW-X Ventilator Tights, the Ventilator conditioning web design supports the muscles and ligaments around the knee joint, and offers gentle support to the calf muscles. Size wise your right in the middle of small/medium, the medium may be a better fit but use your own discretion accordingly.

Like most fleece jackets it's simple - Machine was coldWash separatelyDo not BleachTumble Dry LowDo not ironDo not use fabric softenerDo not Dry clean

Go for the Patagoina Nine Trails Shorts - Two front and one back pocket with zippered closures and stitched through pocket bags for secure storage.

Yup

The Axis does not have distance counter and is not compatible with any foot pod. It’s a nice Alt watch with a digital compass but is not ideal for running – I use it as backup when hiking or mountain running, the Axis is not user friendly and the side buttons are very stiff and annoying. Before you make your decision I recommend checking out Polar or the Garmin Forerunner or any other running style watch you’ll be much happier.

The Xmotion is not waterproof it may be water resistant, check out the Lafuma XMotion Mid OT Hiking Shoe this has a waterproof breathable Outdry liner.

I would recommend you check out Patagonia's H2No Waterproof Breathable Products. My 1st choice for fly fishing is Patagonia's Deep Wading Jacket.
