Bio:
First and foremost, I would call myself a runner. I love to run and try to race a couple times a year, anything from a 5k to a half marathon (tried a full once and don't plan on doing that again!).
I've gotten back into snowboarding this past winter and Brighton is my favorite resort. I'm looking forward to more snow and having another reason to play outside.

The North Face Nuptse Down Jacket - Women's

backcountry.com has a very liberal return policy. Just hang on to your receipt/packing slip as there is a portion you will need to mail back with your return. As for sizing, I'd take a look at the size chart and keep in mind what you plan on layering under and/or over it. Someone a couple reviews down said they thought it runs true to size...

I have this dress in a medium and think it's great. I'm about your size, 5'6", 130-135 ish, 34a/b...it's not super low. I feel comfortable leaning over in it, not afraid of exposing the girls at all.

There have been 3 reviews: 1 one star, 1 two star, and 1 three star. 1+2+3=6 6/3=2
Two Star Average rating is just that, an average. It can change depending on if more reviews are written, but for right now it is correct.

Norrøna Stranda dri 2 Insulated Jacket - Women's
March 26, 2009
Word on the street (or at least around the backcountry.com offices) is that Norrona is very high quality stuff that definitely holds it's own against other top brands such as Arc'teryx and Patagonia. It's Eurpoean styling is being copied by several companies and you will start to see more of the contrast zips and sleek silhouettes in the coming seasons. This particular model does have pit zips (see the small photo labeled "Whisper White Venting" above).

Isis Chloe Coat - Women's
March 17, 2009
Depends on when your cruise is and how warm you are naturally. I always advocate layers, esp. when traveling. If you take a few t-shirts/baselayers (Icebreaker Nature items are perfect), a few midlayers (zip t-neck styles, I'd again recommend Icebreaker), a fleece jacket/vest, and this coat, you'll be pretty much set for anything.

I wouldn't recommend it. That's a lot of compressing going on and it sounds like it could be uncomfortable. The last thing you want is to cut off circulation to your legs in the cold.

Under Armour Base 3.0 Legging - Women's

We try to order "size runs" in every product so women of every size are taken care of. Sometimes certain sizes sell out faster than we anticipate and we are unable to reorder them as many manufacturers produce a limited amount of product (and sell to more retailers than just us). But there are a variety of heavy weight long underwear options, if you're willing to look at brands other than Under Armour.

Don't know about the Sequia's, but I have these and they do come with a thin liner. I actually wear the liners alone as around town-stick-in-your-pockets-just-in-case gloves. I thought the liners made the shells just a little too tight.

The North Face Denali Fleece Jacket - Women's
February 3, 2009
Hopefully you have it by now, but for everyone else out there with a similar question, it depends on what shipping method you choose and how far away from Salt Lake City, UT you live. Everything ships out of Utah. When checking out and choosing a shipping method, there will usually be an estimated number of days in parentheses next to each shipping method. Usually the faster methods (next day and 2nd day delivery) will be more expensive.

Canada Goose Chilliwack Parka - Women's

Definitely not a small. I'm 5'6 and fluctuate between 135-140lbs and tried on the mediums at a tradeshow and they were great. It might be a little big through the shoulders for you, but you'll want the extra length. This is a bomber style jacket and by nature of that styling, a bit short. Hope this helps!
