Black Diamond Octane Backpack - 1700-1831cu in

June 12, 2010

It doesn't look like this can carry skis, but might the lower side straps loosen enough for it to be possible?

Hestra Heli Glove

January 28, 2010

I haven't had problems with wetness yet, but I think you need to use waterproofing wax regularly to keep them in good shape. They don't sell the Hestra leather wax on this site, though. Maybe another wax/conditioner would work?

Good, maybe not my dream glove

Hestra Heli Glove

Rating for this product: 4 December 25, 2009

Pretty nice. Warm, seem like they'll be durable, though the leather may require more maintenance than I'd prefer. It's nice that the liners are removable, but I wish they were more usable on their own.

Yakima FatCat 4

December 10, 2009

I've read a review (REI.com) mentioning rust problems with some of the nuts. Anyone else had this multiple season and noticed any issues?

Black Diamond Fritschi Diamir Freeride Ski Brakes

December 8, 2009

Is there a problem with using the wider brakes on narrower skis, other than having them stick out further which might be annoying? I.e., is it worth getting the narrower brakes for 90mm skis if I found a well-priced pair of bindings with the XL Plus brakes?

Rating for this product: 5 November 7, 2009

Glad I chose to get this version. I saved money, the Chaco quality is there, and I've even received compliments on the color :) Great sandals! They are comfortable and secure on your feet. I chose the Z/1's so I could wear them with socks if it gets nippy.

CAMP USA XLC Nanotech Crampon

Wait, are the names of the pictures wrong? I thought "automatic" usually referred to step-in (i.e., with toe bail wire). The specs have it the way I would expect.

Does this pack really not have a pocket and hole for a Camelbak (or similar) reservoir?

Black Diamond Tripod Bivy Bag

Or take a big trash bag to put your backpack in. Contractor bags are big and burly, but a thinner one would probably work too.

Do any of the versions have a center mark? Specs say no, but one pic looks like it has one.

Black Diamond AvaLung II

How's the comfort with a pack? I was planning on getting just the avalung to wear with any pack, but also considering an integrated one.

Black Diamond Outlaw Avalung Pack - 1831-1939cu in

November 28, 2008

The tech specs says no ice axe loop, but the picture does have a loop. Is there any reason this couldn't be used for an ice axe? Would this be a reason to go with the covert if you think you may ever want to take the pack climbing?
