The Pro model is the step-in version. Normal (Clip) is Newmatic with a rear bail and toe strap.

As long as it uses a standard mounting plate and has a decent base on it, sure.

Shipping is free on orders over $50 so yes, it'll ship for free. It was made in China.

They are softshells, so they have some water *resistance*. Not waterproof, but resistant. The material is similar to TNF's Apex Elixir line. It stretches pretty well, but it's less durable than jeans.

Size up. I went by the chart and got a medium. It was tiny! If you're unsure, size up.

REI and Eagle Creek make some "travel backpacking" packs that might be more what you're looking for.

You can get them from Gregory directly, or just type the product names into google and see what pops up.

Yes, but it'll be tough if the pack is really full.

If you bought it from Backcountry, you'll need to get an RMA number and fill out the return form that came with it when you bought the pack. Chat with one of the customer service people if you need help.

Sports Authority.

Voile makes some shovels with smaller blades. Perhaps one of them would work better.

Linda,
You will be able to wear it across your body. However, it won't be at waist level. There does not appear to be room for a water bottle outside the bag.

Don't bother with a rain cover. Trash bags are lighter, cheaper, and more waterproof.

You're correct that the D rings are the attachment points. The easiest thing to do would be to us a couple lengths of paracord, run them through the crampons and tie the ends off in the D rings. However, if you're going high enough that you won't want to take your gloves off, then just use webbing. Tie one end of the webbing into one D ring, run it through the crampons, go through the other D ring, and buckle it.

Dennis, you want something that's large, lightweight, and compact. Sorry but you can't have all three. It is pretty narrow for two large people to fit comfortably. However, at 4 pounds 7 ounces, it is pretty lightweight.

It's a screen door on a submarine. ;)
The Mountain Hardwear Light Wedge has some see through panels in the rain fly.

Probably 70 ounces. Maybe 100, but odds are against it.

You get a little patch on it.

Have you considered the Marmot Precip?

The Covert has full shoulder coverage.

It should be compatible with Burton pants from the same year.

It should be compatible with Burton pants from the same year.

It can be done, but I've always avoided using the integrated stuff sacks in jackets. You increase the chances of tearing a seam by stuffing a jacket into one of its own pockets. For $6, go buy yourself a Granite Gear stuff sack. It's light, strong, and will be a much better choice than the integrated pocket.

Closest to your back. If you don't like that placement though, just stick the bladder in the pack lid.

Women's.

Yeah.

Yep!

The size is listed as medium. I've only bought one watch from BC, but the sizing they gave was pretty accurate.

It's a baselayer. You could use it by itself for aerobic stuff (running), but it's not gonna fit well with anything other than a really thin shirt underneath.

Ask the customer service guys. Click "chat now" and relay that message to them. They will do their best to help you out.

You should be ok. If you're getting a goggle gap, pop in that removable liner that came with the Baker. My Dragons (DX) fit perfectly with my Baker and have no gap, but I would need the liner if I wanted to use my Spys.

Oakley makes an OTG version of the Crowbar.

Dragon makes the DXS which is a smaller version of the DX. Depending on your definition of high quality, Dragon might not make the cut. Electric has the EG.5 and EG.5 LTD (same deal, a smaller EG1). Oakley has several goggles for smaller faces.

Not till they restock. You could ask customer service (click the "chat now" button) when they are getting more of these.

Spencer, are you going to wear these for backpacking, or carry them and wear them around when your pack is off?

What inserts? This shoe doesn't have inserts.

These are very much a running shoe and not a hiking shoe. Have you considered any Salomon shoes? Some of the Speed Comp models are designed for moderate pronators.

These don't have exceptionally high arches, but you will will want to replace the insole with a custom one to make sure it fits right. If width is an issue, check New Balance since they make multiple widths in all their shoes.

The large with the hood is 2 pounds, 4 oz. The medium might be under 2 pounds.

No. You could superglue some clips onto it and make an attachment system by yourself. If that's not your cup of tea, check out the CAMP High Star. It's the same as the Rock Star but it has elastic cord headlamp holders in the front and back plus 4 small holes for ventilation.

Small. Are those the dimensions of your back or your camelbak?

How light to you like to go and which size were you thinking of getting? If you go no tent and make an effort to eliminate all unnecessary stuff, you should be able to do it. Personally, I'd go for something a bit bigger.

It'll be slightly larger and the straps won't be as comfortable as the women's version. You should be OK though. If it doesn't work, send it back.

5'8" and 140 puts you in a mens medium.

Discontinued colors are now $240...

I've found that Mountain Hardwear jackets fit a little baggy for the size, but in this case that would be good, so you could layer a bunch of stuff underneath it.*****************************However, they generally run a bit short in length and sleeves.

Should. I don't know about zip in compatibility, but Marmot is generally pretty reliable on making all their stuff work together.

It should get pretty small and if it doesn't come with a suitable stuff sack, you can get an excellent one from granite gear for about six bucks. 25 psi= 25 pounds per square inch. It's a pressure rating. 25 is considered "fully waterproof". Ks of waterproofing is the number of millimeters of rainfall that the jacket could take in a 24 hour period before soaking through. The jackets that are selling for $100 are the '09 model. The discounted ones (discontinued colors) are all '08. Not much difference except color and $30.

Based on your height, I would go with a large. It may be a little roomy but the sleeve length should be right on. Hope this helps!*************I'm 5'9" 140 and I can wear the medium with a skintight baselayer, thin softshell vest, and fleece underneath. However, I can't fit anything else under it and it feels kinda packed. You definitely want a large. It has an athletic cut so you won't swim in it.

WP= Water Proof Salomon's materialGTX= Gore TexYou are correct

Why would you want to do that?***********************Because the reversed graphic is much cooler...I don't think you can with a lot of goggles, they're stitched in place.

Then I would suggest looking elsewhere. That or find out if BC is getting them restocked soon.

I'd go with a medium. Check the sizing chart though. Mediums fit 39-41" chest and a 34" sleeve.

Medium. I'm 5'9" and 140 and smalls are too short. If you're worried about stuff being too baggy, look for jackets with an athletic cut.

Looks sick. Some pretty sweet graphics on some versions and some classy, monochrome schemes. The waterproofing and breathability ratings are kinda low, but 5k should be enough for mellow stuff. Read the reviews to get a better picture.

There's not an internal pocket.Well there is a chest pocket. At this point, almost every jacket with a chest pocket has a headphone port, so you could put your pod there.

Plastic teeth with metal pull tabs. The main zipper looks pretty burly, and one of the chest pockets and both hand pockets have waterproof zippers.

Depends on where you live, DL. If you're in the in the northern half of the country, then you definitely need more than this, but if you're in the south, you'll be fine.

The coat is quite warm, good down to freezing temps, and you can indeed return it anytime.If your kids are "anti-establishment" minded, they will most likely want to return it as the Denali is the most common fleece in high school and college kids.

It's wool that's been woven and blended with other stuff (probably polyester or something). The wool is on the outside and the inside is fleece. It looks less technical than traditional jackets as you can see the weave of the wool and the fleece is hidden on the interior.

I'm gonna say no, because the jacket is 100% TKA fleece. If you want a hybrid, check softshells.

I don't know, but you can buy a vest and some sleeves here. You can buy the MH Tech Vest and the Pearl Izumi Woolie Arm Warmers. Pearl Izumi used to make a nylon biking jacket that had zip off long sleeves.

No, but it is insulated.

XL should be fine.

The Bionic is fleece lined. The Pneumatic is lighter, possibly stretchier. Really, this is for high output activities or spring/summer use while the Bionic is for colder stuff.

Large.

This is an all mountain board so you can ride slope or park with it. It claims to be pretty flexy.

Well it's really a matter of preference. If it were me, I'd go with the 163 because I prefer a little shorter board. Either one will be fine though and you probably won't even notice a difference because one would be 1cm longer, and the other 2cm shorter. That's not much. The longer board will be smoother and more stable at high speeds, while the shorter one will be easier to control. Backcountry's general sizing reccomendation puts you anywhere from a 161 to a 166. So the 163 would obviously be much closer to the middle, while the 166 would be getting close to the longest you would even want to consider. My opinion, the 163.The 163 is easier to control and would be better for the park. It sounds like you stay out of the terrain park, so the 166 will let you go faster and is more suited to someone your size. I'd go with a 166.

I run in them all the time and I've never had problems with vision or fogging. The only times they fog is if I stop running and look straight up, but once I start again, they clear right up. Even then, they only fog rarely. These are a great choice for biking and running.

Go online somewhere and search for "Costa Del Mar Fluid replacement lens" and buy whatever works best for you.

The sizing chart has a list of all the lenses and what they're good for, but either the sensor mirror or ignitor mirror sound best.******************EDIT: Gold or Gold lite are your best bets for low and flat light. They allow 42 and 55% light transmission respectively, so you'd want a lens for sunny days too.

Flat to low lighting and the mirror cuts glare.
