Yes, you can take the ear liners off. As for a beanie, you should be fine wearing one or a balaclava, but it all depends on how snug the size you get fits your noggin.

Agreed. This pack does not have front access to the main compartment, only top access.

The floor dimensions are 52 inches x 83 inches. The floor is rectangular, through the fly is irregularly shaped to help dispel wind and rain.

The XL/XXL is hat size 7-5/8, so it doesn't look like it will work for you.

The MSR WhisperLite stove measures about 10cm cubed when folded, so it should fit in the pot. It may be a tight fit with it, but I would recommend using a small cloth sack around the stove so it doesn't scratch up the inside of the pot during travel.

These boots do not have a removable liner.

Some gloves that are designed for skiing or similar activities have a small rubber piece that acts like a squeegee to clear your goggles. Some also have a small pad usually on the top side of the gloves for you to wipe your nose on, since most people get runny noses in winter sports. These gloves have neither feature.

Hard to say without knowing the size of his head, but I'd bet that these will be too small for him. You're probably better off with a pair of adult goggles in size small so he can use them for a few years. If you have a shop near you, you can always go in and have him try on a few different sizes and brands to make sure he gets one that is comfortable for him.

Yes, you can get Rx lenses, but I believe you need to order them through the Oakley site. They should have a link for dealers near you that will allow you to purchase the prescription you need.

The main dimension to look at is going to be your torso length. Since you're 6'4", you'll want to measure yourself and make sure you fit within the 22" torso length, which is the maximum this pack can comfortably adjust to. Your weight should be fine for this pack.

Yes, this pot should work well for a couple. Most freezer bag cooking I do requires 2 cups or less of water, and this pot has about 5.5 cups capacity. Also, the nonstick coating should help out when you decide to skip the bags and cook the occasional meal in it.

When my friend started climbing I had to keep reminding him to lock down his carabiner, and it seemed like he forgot to do it 50% of the time. I got him a locking biner like this one to make sure he would be safe, and he loves it. I think it would be great for a beginner to use.

Yes, there's one at the waist.

Don't go by your pup's weight. Measure her girth, which is around the widest part of her rib cage. Once you have the measure, check the sizes listed in the product description on the right side of the page. If she fits between two sizes (ex. she measures 28 inches. She could therefore go for either the Small at 21-31 inches or the Medium at 26-36 inches) I'd recommend going with the smaller size for a tighter and more more athletic fit. If she's still growing than maybe go for the bigger size.

Marie, you set the time and date using the two buttons on the back of the watch. I'd suggest using the tip of a pen to push them, and I'll refer to them as the top (T) and bottom (B) buttons. To view the date (time is normally shown), push the B button.

1. Press the T button twice and the month appears. Use the B button to adjust the month.
2. Press the T button once more and the day appears. Use the B button to adjust the day.
3. Press the T button once more and the hour appears. Use the B button to adjust the hour.
4. Press the T button once more and the minute appears. Use the B button to adjust the minute.
5. Press the T button one last time to finish the adjustment.

Hope that helps you out.

Yes, when closed the simmerlite will fit in the smaller pot.

You should be able to fit your skis and poles in here, as long as they are straight poles.

You can either carry on or check luggage, so I'm not sure what you mean by 'check on'. In any case, you can certainly check this bag, usually for a fee, and you can also carry this back on the plane with you, as its dimensions are less than the 45 linear inch limit for most airlines.

This bag comes with a 3L Streamer Reservoir.

Both boards should fit, though I'd recommend keeping the bindings on the 149 and stacking that on top of the naked 152.

This bag should work out great for you. At 1lb 14oz the weights is nice and light, and it stuffs down to 7 x 5 inch, so it will pack nicely. As some others here have mentioned, it's a roomy and warm sleeping bag, with the down fill on 3 sides. You'll need a sleeping pad for under you, and if it's around 20 inches wide or less it fits into the built in pad holder so you wont roll off it in your sleep. Have fun at Philmont!

No, there are hour and minute hands, but no second hand.

There is no hood. It looks like it would be fine in a drizzle or light rain, but I wouldn't bet on it in heavy rains past a few minutes (car to the office, etc).

I believe the merino wool is from New Zealand, but the shirt is probably made in China.

It will depend on the type of boots you have, but unless they have very large uppers it should fit. It may be hard to pull the cuffs over the boots but if you use the zippers it shouldn't be a problem.

No, the lid does not have the ability to un-attach from it's 2 points of contact by the shoulder straps.

10 x 9.5 x 4.5 inches. Big enough to hold a small laptop.

The chest zips are water-resistant and form a much tighter seal than normal zippers. As long as they're zipped up you shouldn't have any trouble with snow/water getting into the pockets during normal use.

It does not come with any audio gear.

The R36 lenses are all purpose lenses that allow for glare reduction and improved contrast/depth perception. The sensor mirror lenses are the lowest tint of the 3 choices and are most helpful in flat light for color definition and depth perception. The ignitor mirror lenses are designed to work under the widest set of conditions, while having similar benefits to the R36s. My suggestion is the ignitor mirror lens.

It's going to fit like a more robust hoodie.

You can certainly layer up under the jacket, but there is no internal zipper for attaching an insulating layer to the jacket.

The sizing chart for this item shows Large as size 10.5 - 11.5.

No, there is no goggle strap.

Based on the sizing chart shown here, I believe the sizes convert as follows: S ~ 6 3/4 fitted, M ~ 7, L ~ 7 1/4, XL ~ 7 1/2. Hope that helps.

No, there are no wheels on the bottom. You either have to carry it or use the straps like a backpack.

The small works out to a normal hat size 6 7/8, while the medium fits size 7 1/8. I'd go medium if I were you.

Looks like the small will fit you fine if you want a closer fit. If you plan to layer under the jacket then the medium is probably the one you want to go for.

I would highly discourage you from cooking within the confines of the vestibule. I'd heard too many stories of people doing so to avoid wind/rain and ending up with tents on fire from spilled fuel, knocked over stoves, etc. The vestibule space is only 1.6 square meters and it hangs pretty low over the ground so it really isn't ideal for this application.

I don't think you could fit your lunch in any of the other pockets besides the main one, unless you wanted to divide it amongst the other ones; but I'm guessing you would't want to do that.

Yes, there is a draw-cord hem at the waist.

The clear lenses have very little tint and are best for night use. The R36 lenses combine rose and copper tints to allow for glare reduction and improved contrast/depth perception. The R36s are best for sunny or mild snowy days on the slopes.

The 17" mac book will definitely not fit this bag, and the 15" might, with some squeezing. The laptop pocket is only 14" here, and the 15" mac book has a width of 14.35". There is extra room in the side pocket for the charger and such, but I'd recommend finding a bag that's a little bigger.

The liner is a full jacket, including sleeves. The liner serves as the main insulation part of the jacket, while the shell provides the waterproof protection, with some additional lining. They are made to work separately as needed, and should be warm enough for the winter when used together.

Yes, the Lexan lenses block out UVA and UVB.

No, the hood is fixed in place.

I found the weight for this listed at 12oz, though I don't think that includes the little carrying bag.

Yes, length of the pole is generally from the top of the grip to the end of the tip, so you need to remember that some of that measure (the length of the tip) will be in the snow. Also, many people will add 2 inches to what they need based on their height, to account for the extra height you have when in boots and skis.

Duplicate, see my answer above.

It's a little hard to see in the stock picture, but the thing sticking out of the bag at the bottom is a small plastic hook, which is attached to the bag. You wrap the line around a tree or whatever and clip the hook on the line - one side is not taken care of. The other end of the line has small plastic cinch for adjusting the length of the line, and another plastic hook that you can move around the line as needed. So it takes a few minutes to play with the first time you do it, but then you get the hang of it and can tighten it up once both ends are attached. The beads do a decent job of holding your stuff to dry, as long as they aren't too heavy or slick.
