It's a wrap around gaiter with velcro seemed closure - hook/loop at bottom and cinch-strap on top. swer here...

Absolutely – light weight, fast drying, and the Vibram outsole was designed for boat decks. The Marine doesn’t have as good of traction as a traditional wading boot so you’ll need to take caution when wet wading over mossy rocks and could stub a few rocks. For fly fishing in the summer I use the Orvis Wet Wading Shoe but it’s not as versatile as a sandal.

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.

Check out the link - http://www.backcountry.com/store/newsletter/a342/Whats-the-deal-with-these-waterproof-ratings.html

This may help with the 1st question - http://www.backcountry.com/store/newsletter/a342/Whats-the-deal-with-these-waterproof-ratings.html

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.

Yes

Sure if it’s designed to fit a laptop and with the CamelBak Daxio 1590cu in (26L) you should have plenty of room to toss the Platypus hydration bladder in the padded computer sleeve.

Actually here is the link to the D3 instruction manual - http://oakley.com/pdf/digital/d2_d3_manual.pdf

Fits torsos: 13-20”

By rubber booties you mean the baskets =) they should be cupped downward to catch the snow, not sure if this is a correct method but an easy and fast way is to flip the poles over wrap hand under the baskets or rubber booties ;)and with arms out and elbows by side adjust poles to a straight even line across.

The NNN boots and bindings are a perfect companion for the Alpine Discovery. The NNN bindings are usually compatible with any ski with a minimum 52mm width.

Highgear only make the Altis SS Altimeter in one size, the bands on the Alt’s are very comfortable and adjust well to smaller wrist.

Yes Dakine has many more Beanies in men's and women's styles with the comfortable fleece lining. http://www.dakine.com/ski/beanies/

I have the Salomon Rivertrek GTX boots the top lace hooks are similar to this model and after closer inspection they’re definitely not plastic, maybe coated metal or alloy?

These here are MSR’s basic do it all for all model. MSR also makes a women's Lightning snowshoe which are specifically designed for a woman’s stride, lighter and narrower than the Denali.

Nope it's the same jacket only difference from the red is the two tone color.

Yes made from Bodyfit 260 fabric. The 260 is made from 100% pure Merino wool and features 30% more of that wool than the 200 line, making the Bodyfit 260 more warm.

Hey local Bostonian here, the ULU Seona certainly will keep ur feet warm but will not provide any extra grip on ice, I highly recommend Yaktrax it’s an inexpensive traction devices you simply stretch over your regular shoes or boots so you can safely walk on ice and packed snow. Worked well with the ice in the city this morning.

Check out http://www.cloudveil.com/womens/jackets/insulated/madison+insulated+parka--CV09324/ there's a # of pictures and even a video.

The pics above are a good reference, I've seen this model in the Patagonia Store it's truly black.

Arc'teryx only makes these in black. Search backcountry for women's tights you'll get a whole bunch of colorful options.

It comes with a USB/RCA TV cable.

Since it's a form fitting jacket and you're right on the line in the size chart I would recommend an XL also check the size by height and weight table.

SPECS - Length: 22in/55.8cm Surface Area: 134 sq in

It's not removable.

No and it's not easily replaceable I recommended when the battery has run out; contact the authorized Polar Service Center in your area.

Comes with a protective safety sheath

No it’s not waterproof but I’d say it’s fairly water resistant especially with the super tough 1260D & 620D Nylon and it’s coated with 1.5 oz. polyurethane

Weight: 10.9 oz. (303 g)

Men's

Yes the Insulated hood has faux fur trim that zips off when needed

eesa only makes sox in one size -S/M 6-8M/L 9-12and I'd buy them even if they were pink

Yes the OR GTX Crocs and Danner GTX boots would make a great combination for any outdoor winter activtiy.

There's always restrictions here is the link to the warranty FAQ for Atlas Snowshoe http://www.atlassnowshoe.com/support/?request=warranty if you do need repairs make sure to bring them to an authorized Atlas dealer also when you order from backcountry.com you get an additional Unconditional 100% Guarantee, backcountry.com guarantee complete satisfaction and an unlimited lifetime warranty. If at any time -- now, next month, in 30 years -- you're not 100% satisfied, send your gear back for a full refund. No questions asked.

Khumbu Jacket offers zip-in compatible integration with complementing garments from The North Face

I highly recommend the Nalgene Encapsul Big Bore, 2/3L I use this in all my packs, great product for the $$ simple design, I haven’t found any flaws plus it’s easy to fill and comes with a convenient quick disconnect value system so you can quickly refill on the go. Not sure where to buy mine came with a North Face hydration pack similar to the NF Thresher.

Don't think you can remove a link the watch is One-Size Stretch Band

Most snowshoe bindings work with any kind of boot, you could always try ordering a pair from backcounntry.com check for fit and if the boot fits then enjoy if not slap on the return label and exchange for another pair.

Hi Heather,I personally haven’t had the opportunity to try Redfeather snowshoes but based on size and weight the XT would make a decent snowshoe for running. If you plan to run a lot I would recommend going with the 21 inch. Also worth checking out is the Atlas Run which I use for running in winter all the time very happy with this brand and model but it looks like backcountry.com is temporality out the Atlas Run. Hope this helps & happy shopping!

156 g (5.5 oz)

Small should work fine, I'm 5'8 150 and the medium is just a little big on me. If you want one tight for all seasons then the CW-X Stabilyx Tight may be a better option - in really cold conditions I use the stabilyx as a baselayer under a wind/waterproof pant, works good in the spring too or when mountain running.

Watch Dimensions 6.8 x 5.1 x 3 inches

No, this shell is not zip-in compatible.True this jacket is not zip-in compatible but the North Face Denali Thermal Jacket or any other fleece jacket also makes a warm layering piece under this shell.

I don't think the lining is removable but the fake fur trim easily zips off.

These are the heart rate limits that are used during yourexercise session. The F4 calculates your personaltarget heart rate limits based on your age basically the HRmax and HRmin. You can also adjustthe target heart rate limits yourself.

Yes the IrDA USB Adapter provides that link by enabling a two-way infrared data communication between your Polar product and PC.

No - Nylon/spandex cuffs, collar and straight-cut hem

The CW-X Insulator Expert provides a little more support and the CW-X Insulator Stabilyx Tights have the most overall support but all three are perfect for cold weather activities like skiing and offer excellent support for the lower body.

You could try giving backcountry a ring at 1-800-925-7724 or try the Chat Now option maybe they can place an order for you. Other option is GOOGLE SALOMON Men's 3D Fastpacker Mid GTX Hiking Boots

Hey scoobydoo -With the tails ABSOLUTELY

The Expert tights have a little more support especially in the knee joint and quadriceps.

It's a very poplar sock and size, if backcountry.com doesn't have them in stock try a GOOGLE search for SmartWool PhD Running

The gold series binding adjust to most size hiking shoes, a size 12 snowboard boot may be a tight squeeze in the gel stirrup and toe harness, you may want to check out the TSL 325 Explore and the MSR Denali Evo Snowshoe they're both snowboard boot compatible.

Recommended load 90 - 125 pounds just perfect plus a little extra for a pack, for deep powder I would recommend getting the tail extension.

Unisex - they do make the Aerial in a cool sun yellow.

No, they don't. Snowboard boots are too large for the tight quarters of the binding. The best types of bindings for snowboard boots are those with stretchy Voile-type strap that will wrap around the boots. These types of bindings fit a far greater array of boots, foot sizes, etc. An example would be the MSR Evo Ascents. The MSRs also offer better traction for climbing and the heel raiser makes climbing up hills easier.Additional Info: TSL makes snowshoes that are Snowboard Boot Compatible like the 305 Explore and the 325 Escape. .

In fairly certain Inov-8 does not make this shoe in US size 21.

see response below

Yes you can take it out, I use the Green Superfeet in my Inov-8 trail shoes.

don't think it exists in wide.In fact Montrail does make a Hardrock Wide width fits D-EE feet. I would check directly with backcountry.com through their help center. RP

The closest I know of to a step in binding is the TSL Snowshoes

Yes these are Patagonia's Ultra Heavyweight Socks

I'm assuming that's a typo and you mean belt, the Polar HRM chest strap is adjustable one size fits all.

Forget them all and go for MSRRedfeather has a great reputation, the Hiker Series is their entry level model with a great price and will certainly do the trick if you want to get out have fun and kick some snow. If you spend a fraction more you’ll see significant improvements in the binding system and lighter frames as with the MSR recommend above. But it’s up to you to determine how to spend your hard earned bucks.

Not if you wander around in just tights. If you're running, then yes, assuming you have the right clothes on top. - I highly recommend you check out the CW-X Insulator Tights they work great as a base layer in frigid weather.

I highly recommend Montrail CTC Mid GTX Hiking Shoe which of course backounty.com has on sale. I also use the Montrail Hurricane Ridge GTX trail runner but I think Montrail recently discontinued this model.

You posted this question under the Atlas 9 Series Elektra Snowshoe Package I take it you mean Snowshoeing not snowboarding? The above package is a great value and comes with everything to need to start having fun in the snow. Based on ur specs I would recommend the 23in, but if she’s going to be hiking with a pack you may want to get the 25in which is just a little bigger. And for snowboarding hop on over to backcountry.com snowboarding section or stop by the help center.

Well if you ordered the socks pictured above you got the kids version but backcountry.com has a great return policy. Give them a call maybe they haven't shipped out yet.

The TLS 325 is adjustable for various boot sizing but I would say this is the men’s version TSL also makes a 305 Explore Easy which is just a little smaller in size. 325 recommended weight 132 lbs to 242 lbs305 recommended weight 66 lbs to 154 lbs

The CW-X Insulator Stabilyx Tights are ideal for any cold weather activity; and yes these would also work well as a high performance under layer for snowboarding plus the Conditioning Web technology stabilizes the knee joint without restricting movement.

I have narrow feet with high arches that tend to crash downward as well, I recommend trying the Superfeet Trim-To-Fit Green Insole works great in all my running shoes it’s lightweight and has the extra support for my arches.

I'm fairly certain for the Women's Oracle jacket Marmot is written on the bottom left of the jacket, not sure why you can’t make it out in the above photos above?

Tubbs Venture is a hiking snowshoe and fits men’s boot to size 13, so you may find trail shoes a little loose fitting. Could you run in the Venture yes absolutely but you may find the split claw crampon designed for climbing and descending will hinder your running stride, but this works great for hiking and some occasionally running, if you really want to run in snowshoes I would recommend the Atlas Run/Race which is a snowshoe entirely designed for running.

Look here - I reccomend MSR lighting accent women'shttp://www.backcountry.com/store/group/265/Womens-Snowshoes.htmlAnother option – I’ve only used Atlas Snowshoes and haven’t tried the MSR Lighting accent as mentioned above. I highly recommend Atlas Snowshoes the Spring-Loaded Suspension is phenomenal plus I like the V-shaped frame great for performance and it gives it that classic touch. The Atlas Trail Walking Series 8 through 10 are a great snowshoe for a variety of terrain, if you’re planning to be in the backcountry hiking I would recommend the Atlas 11 or 12. Also sounds like you have some experience if you’ve been renting, in that case I would recommend checking out the Atlas 10 Series this is the perfect all duty snowshoes works on any terrain. Best of luck and happy snowshoeing RP

The Atlas 11 uses the same frame as the Atlas Run/Race Series but with the Atlas 11’s molded Wrapp Plus binding system and the aggressive tread for mountain hiking it will feel very awkward to run in. A better option may be to look at the Atlas Trail Walking Series 8 through 10.

The Merrell Siren Sport Cross-Training shoe is not waterproof. I’ve heard great things about this shoe and this shoe would be a good fit for walking/hiking in Germany this winter. If you’re looking for waterproof good news is Backcountry has the Merrell Siren Sport GTX XCR Shoe in stock for practically the same price.

Care instruction: Machine wash cold, tumble dry low.

One difference - the 205 is not a heart rate monitor and the 305 is a HRM, the 305 receives wireless HR readings from a chest strap

Not so much. This is a much lighter weight snow shoe. You might check out the specific backpacking show shoes from Atlas. - You'll run into a number of problems using the Atlas Race on backcountry trails because Race has a narrow design and smaller toe crampons than the traditional snowshoe, plus with the spring load for running these are more like the racing flats of the snowshoe world. I would recommend the Atlas 12 series. RP
