based on the size chart, i would wear a small (30" waist).

Patagonia Active Boxer Brief - Men's

August 14, 2009

based on the size chart, i would wear a small (30" waist). But, at 6'1" i'm on the slightly tall side for that waist size and, when going strictly on waist size with other boxers, i have found the inseam to be too short. does anyone have a recommendation as to whether i should order small or medium?

Patagonia Footwear Karakoram Approach Shoe - Men's

May 15, 2009

I haven't seen many reviews for Patagonia's approach shoes that comment on their quality as an approach shoe. I've seen a couple but, for the most part, the comments are about their comfort as a hiking shoe.

Does anyone have any experience using the Finn's, Huckleberry's, or Karakoram's on class 4/low-grade 5 approaches? I'm trying to get a sense for how sticky the rubber is and how good the toe design is for edging.

CW-X Ventilator Tight - Men's

March 31, 2009

A few questions:

1) Other than the ventilation, what is the difference between the ventilator tights, the performX tights, and the stabilyx tights?
2) I'm 6'1", 175 lbs...typically too tall for medium and too skinny for large. Is medium the right size?
3) Do these tights provide sufficient support higher up the thighs or is it necessary to wear a pair of briefs under them?

La Sportiva Venom Climbing Shoe

February 25, 2009

can anyone provide some input on how these compare to the vipers? is there a significant difference? or, are they very close to being the same shoe? also, would those of you who've used them recommend them for steep sport climbing only. or, are they primarily a bouldering shoe that can be used for steep sport?

Answer to: "can u take out the avalung for summertime use?"

Black Diamond Anarchist with Avalung Winter Pack - 1953-2563 cu in

February 24, 2009

be aware that the avalung components are plastic and BD warns against crushing or otherwise damaging the plastic as it may render the avalung useless. so, while you can zip away the mouth piece, I've opted to use mine only when i might need the avalung to minimize the risk of gear doing damage to it when it isn't needed.

Easy to Use, Easy to Read, Requires calibration too frequently

Highgear TerraTech Altimeter Watch

Rating for this product: 3 January 13, 2009

I picked up one of these on SAC about a year ago. Overall, I'm pleased with its performance given the price I paid. Feature/functionality use is fairly intuitive. Although some have complained about the size of the watch, I think it is appropriately sized for its intended purpose. The data is presented in a large enough font that it can be read with a quick glance. It's a bit large for an everyday watch but that's not its intended purpose. I have two complaints. The altimeter must be calibrated VERY frequently. I used the watch on a recent climb of Pico de Orizaba. I calibrated it 2 days before summiting. It was inaccurate by nearly 60 ft when I summited. That would be understandable if the weather had changed drastically but it had not. The second complaint I have is that the temperature reading is worthless when wearing the watch as it is affected by body temperature.
