Dynafit ZZero 4 C-TF Alpine Touring Boot

March 17, 2009

My experience regarding sizing is different from the two answers below. I ordered based on these answers and found the boots way too big. I'm a 13 regular shoe size, but wear a Mondo 29 in a Scarpa F3. Based on these comments I decided to order a 30 in Dynafit, and the thing is HUGE. In conclusion, for me the Scarpa and Dynafit sizing are very similiar in Mondo sizing. 29=29.I have found that the Dynafit sizing system fits more true than other manufacturers. Meaning, if you are a 10.5 shoe size, go with the 28.0 Mondo. I tried on the ZZero C4 and the ZZues by Dynafit and I fit much better into the 28.0 Mondo shell. My foot was cramped and it hurt after 5 minutes of putting the 27.0 on. In comparison, the 27.0 Shell in the Black Diamond factor was a much better fit while the 28.0 was too large. It depends on the manufacturer's shell sizing and the foot shape of the individual. But like I said, in my personal experience, the Dynafit boots fit more true to your actual foot size. So if you are a 10.5 and you are looking into these boots, then go with the 28.0. If anyone else has a different opinion then please chime in. Just wanted to add my comment, I also am 10.5 I just bought these in a 28. They fit perfect. In my true alpine boots I have always worn a 27.5 but the Dynafit 27.5 was just a bit to snug. The boots are great, plenty stiff. I had been skiing a old T2 and was concerned about enough stiffness in a AT boot, but these are more stiff than my alpine boots.

Cold Sleepers Beware

MontBell U.L. Super Stretch Hugger #0 Sleeping Bag: 0 Degree Down

MontBell U.L. Super Stretch Hugger #0 Sleeping Bag: 0 Degree Down

Rating for this product: 3 March 16, 2009

I love many things about this bag: first, I'm 6'3", 200 lbs, and I find the bag super roomy and comfortable. The stretchiness creates a cozy feeling but allows plenty of movement. The weight and packability is also excellent.

My one concern is that so far the temperature rating has not seemed accurate. This is supposed to be a 0 degree bag, and I've been cold on two 25 degree nights. I haven't returned the bag yet, am going to give it a few more tries, because other reviewers seem to find it warm. I'm generally a warm sleeper, so was surprised to be cold in this bag.

Don't trust the hype

Mountain Hardwear Transition Softshell Jacket - Men's

Mountain Hardwear Transition Softshell Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 1 June 19, 2008

I ordered this based on the glowing reviews, but was sorely disappointed when this softshell arrived. It's true that it's light; but that's about it. First of all, the thing is pretty ugly--looks kind of like a jacket my dad would have worn in the seventies. You know, that kind of sleek sweatsuit look. Secondly, the fit is bizarre. I'm 6'3", 190 lbs. I ordered a large and XL in order to have a choice. The XL was baggy, and the jacket has no drawstring at the waist to tighten it up. The large fit well in the body but the forearms and wrists were so tight that I felt I was in a straightjacket. It's just an awkward piece all around, and I'm perplexed by the other reviewers and by Outside magazine's silver label. Order with caution.

So far so good

Big Agnes Copper Spur UL3 Ultra Light Tent: 3-Person 3-Season

Big Agnes Copper Spur UL3 Ultra Light Tent: 3-Person 3-Season

Rating for this product: 4 June 13, 2008

I traded in my Black Diamond Skylight for this tent. The Skylight was such a pain in the butt to set up, and it had only one door. So far I'm very impressed with this tent. Very light for a 3-person, and truly roomy for three (not a glorified 2-person). Best of all was the set-up: my first try I set up this tent in about three minutes, without directions; it's very intuitive. The vestibules are not as roomy as I had hoped, but there are two of them and they're nicely designed. The colors are warm but nicely muted. I'm looking forward to trying just the fly and the footprint for those ultra light adventures when bugs aren't an issue (leave the body behind!).
