Well you would do it in the drop down menu right beside the picture, above the add to cart button, but currently they seem to be out of stock.

No they are supposed to lock tight and not move on you. See if you can tighten it yourself, or contact Black Diamond.

It's definitely a bigger fitted beanie, meant to be baggy. That said, I know some people with small heads that seem to dig this one. Kind of more a style choice than anything.

Both kits work for skis or snowboards, since they use the same wax and such. If you are wanting to start up a home shop type deal where you can do all your own maintenance, I recommend the Super Tune, because waxing irons work way better than normal irons.

Well the S6 is more suited for groomers size wise, but the S7 can really tear them up. I would say if you ski tons of pow, and then some groomed, go S7. If its more all-mountain fun and versatility you are looking for, the S6 might be better suited for you.

Yeah for sure you can mount some alpine bindings on these.

Yeah of course, that's what it is designed for.

This shovel moves so much snow, it's kind of ridiculous. We have built quite a few kickers with just a couple of them, and they are great for it. Plus, they can dig out your friend in a hurry, or dig out your snow pit to make sure that that kind of thing won't happen.

The Pandora is a lot of ski, but I think that you can handle that 172. It will feel different for sure in the tighter trees, but fall line and deep snow you will appreciate the stability that you can get from them. You will probably have to adjust a bit of your style, and ski more aggressively, but I think that these really are the next step for female skiers, who really want to progress. And that size will step up your game for sure.

They aren't the best for deep snow like that, since no, they aren't very tight around the cuff. Having snow pants with snow gaiters that can cover the boot will make that problem disappear though. Or look for a boot that has a cuff with adjustable fit.

There is a sizing chart right below the drop down menu, which tells you the lengths of Mountain Hardwear clothing. You will probably need a Long pant, but bc.com is apparently out of stock at the moment.

I think that it is something like 1 lb 5 oz/ 595 g. Might be off on that though.

Personally I find them very similar, in weight, warmth and wicking. The fit on the BC.com Tee is a bit better, at least for me. If you love the Ibex, then I say stick with the Ibex, but this is about the same type of deal.

For sure the R3 is lighter than the R4. The R3 is not quite as warm, but probably a bit more breathable, which is hard to compare since they are both breathable. Personally I feel that if you are debating between the 2, the R3 is about all you will ever need for a midlayer, and fall/casual outerlayer.

There is a sizing chart located right below the drop down menu. If that doesn't help much, check the Armada website.

About a size 7. Remember the liners do pack out a bit, but not enough for the 25.5. Maybe a 26.5 or 27 would work best. I have this boot, and love it, in the 27.5, with a size 8.5 foot.

You might actually want a ski that has a narrower waist dimensions. Something like the Armada JJ would be awesome, because it has similar characteristics to the Bent Chetlers, but is narrower. They handle great in the deeper snow, rip groomers, will be more manageable in bumps, and tighter terrain. For sure check out the Volkl's but the JJ would probably be better.

It doesn't actually block the air flow too bad for most helmets, but there are some that don't work. Most of the Smith line works great though.

It kind of depends on your glasses. I have Oakley frames, and they are a wide square frame, which only fits under goggles after some modification to the foam. It isn't hard, just a couple slits and it'll work. If your glasses are fairly small framed, then these should work. If not, try and find a designated OTG goggle.

That is about the same ball-park. The 10 is the stiffest that Full Tilt makes, so can be compared to downhill racers or big mountain boots.

It appears to be a black zipper for it, but best bet is to go on live chat and talk with an actual bc.com rep, who can potentially check their stock.

About the same as a lightweight Smartwool I would say.

I have tried the Methods, but liked the Supers better for my face. If you felt that the Super was too big, then for sure the Methods will work better. You also might be a border line face, where neither is good, but we can only hope that it works out for you.

Maybe cross-country gear. But if you look at the dimensions, the bag is only an 8 inch diameter. So if you have 2 skis that would fit in an 8 inch diameter then sure, 2 skis. If you want powder boards and a groomer ski, not going to work, since the pow planks are probably about a 150mm shovel which is 3/4 of your space already.

The closer to the core you get, the easier it is to turn them, so I would bet that you should handle them close to the core. That said, mounting at something like +6 would be about all this ski would ever need, and mean that the Schizo's wouldn't really be necessary. If you have the money and want them, then go for it, but otherwise, you will probably only ride them in one mounting position anyway.

They do ski short, but the 188 should be a good length for you.

That's a good deal man. Interested to see more about these.

No, Stoic is its own company.

Thailand.

At the very least get him the 148cm length of this ski. I would almost say look for an adult ski that comes in something like a 156, since it would give him the float he wants, stability for powder, speed, and landings, and he could do some growing before you would have to replace his skis again. You can easily find an adult park ski, which are about the same waist dimensions as these, for him.

I would say that you could easily get away with getting him the 177cm ski. That size would be stable enough, unless he is a heavier guy. But in general you only really need long skis on groomers for stability, so if he loves the high speeds, I would look into something maybe a bit longer.

I use it in all conditions. It is cool and breezy in the summer, but still keeps the heat in nicely for skiing and winter hikes.

I think you will feel a lot more float and control in the deep stuff than the JJ's, which are nice in it, but sometimes feel a little lacking. The 'Bents will have a hard time feeling lacking in the deep. The 189's should work for you if you kill it on the 185 JJ. Remember they are actually longer than 189, about 193-194, since K2 posts effective edge, and the rocker makes it shorter.

I have skied them at +2, which is where I always ski unless I'm in the park. They handle really well, especially since it shortens up the swing on them, and makes trees slightly easier. +1 wouldn't make a big, noticeable difference in the performance I don't think though.

They are for small to medium sized faces, so it might not work out. It is always hard to know for sure without testing them. Try a smaller full sized adult goggle on him, and if that is too big, then try a larder youth model.

A number 8 flex could probably be compared to something quite a bit stiffer than the Nordica 100 flex. 100 is about a 5-6 in the Full Tilt scale.

It has 2 front pockets like the 85 does, but which one are you thinking of? There is the bottom sleeping bag zippered pocket, and the pocket that lets you access the interior of the pack.

You will have to bend out the brakes for it to work. A 110 brake can fit up to a 110, but not much more.

The 176 is actually 110 underfoot, so not the same size as the S7. If I am not mistaken Rossi made it for women, and didn't just shrink it and pink it.

If you consider yourself a good skier, and can ski fairly powerfully, then for sure as a powder ski I would say the 176. Longer is always nice for deeper snow. If you aren't an aggressive skier, than the 166 might feel more comfortable to you.

Measure your head around, as in the circumference. If it is 23.5 inches, which is what a 7.5 sized hat actually is, then you will be able to get the Large sized helmet. If it is bigger, then you will have to keep looking around for an XL.

Depends on personal preference. I wouldn't want something this big on my back if I'm just inbounds all day, mostly since I could never justify a pack this big for using inbounds. I like smaller (BD Bandit) size packs. If you are planning on lapping sidecountry and using the groomers to get back to the lifts, then sure, it should be fine. You will most likely have to remove it from your back though, since most places won't allow a pack this size.

Well I would say grab the 178cm. The float and stability will definitely be a plus, and you should still be able to drive them around. The AT will still be good for you on the 178 too. The little extra weight shouldn't change the touring capabilities too much either.

Not on the back of a motorcycle, but a friend of mine has one, and he brought it with us on a trip to Jasper a little while back. It was in the box of the truck, pouring rain going about 110 km/h and was completely dry to the touch on the outside as soon as we were out of the storm, and was bone dry inside when we arrived.

If it is a down bag or a pretty light weight synthetic I would say the 15L, or if it is a heavier synthetic they recommend the 25L.

They recommend the 15L for a down bag.

The H.I. Yellow is an awesome lens from Oakley, probably one of may favourite. It definitely sucks for super bright conditions, but it works for everything from medium, to flat, to overcast, to night skiing, and it does all that really well. The H.I. Persimmon is also pretty good, but a little worse for overcast and night.

I have the Talon 33, not the 44, but it is great for a day of cragging, holds rack and other gear super well, one of the more comfortable packs for sure for climbing. I haven't tried a load on the 44, since I don't have it, and I haven't used it multipitch since I don't have access to much where I am but if you need it for a day at the rock, then its definitely comfortable.

They are pretty good skis as I am hearing from some friends that got some early snow. They love them in the deep. If I was you I would check out the 160cm or the 167cm. If you ski aggressive and go for it, then you shouldn't have problems with the longer ski.

They aren't too wide, should be fine with them. They won't drag while up I'm pretty sure, so, yeah, fine.

No, just a holder for one if you have your own.

That does sound a bit crazy, but to each his own. SInce I don't know what the middle piece diameter is for the Expeditions, you will have to do your own measurements for it, but the top portion of the Whippet is 16mm, or 0.63 inches. The lower is 14mm/0.55inches, so that's what the Expedition would have to be for it to work. Hope that helped you man.

I find that they hold up to abuse super well, except the topsheet, which chips like all sandwich construction skis do. They pound through some pretty gnarly conditions, and I use them as my all-mountain/big mountain do almost everything ski. The Shogun is good for powder mostly, and I don't personally like the feel of them when I push them too hard. That might just be me, but I would say that in every category, the ObSETHed wins, with exception to the weight, cause they are a bit on the heavy side.

I know people that have done this with Duke bindings, which seems to work pretty good for them for short sidecountry trips. You don't need custom skins per se, just the biggest ones you can get, and that still isn't wall to wall, which isn't always 100% necessary. The shovel does pose a bit of a problem for the skins, but it might work, and if not, you can pretty easily rig something for that. The reverse camber can make touring difficult, but not un-doable. You would need the 130mm brakes for the brakes to be functional, but most people on 'Toons I know don't have functional brakes.

Grey is actually a fairly neutral (aka. useless in many conditions) lens, basically just to cut glare. The VR28 has a 28% light transmittance, and is for flat to medium light. YOu can go to the Oakley site, and click on the Splice, there should be a tab right below it that says lens tints, and you can select the tint you want to see how it looks looking through it.

The recommended point is 2cm forward of the traditional mounting point, or about 4.5cm back from the core center. They run pretty solid at this point, which is my favourite mount for almost any ski except full park. And they do run a little bit longer, not quite 4-5cm, but 2-3 for sure. This is from the slight early rise, but the effective edge and therefore the way they ski handles is as stated. At 181, if you want something a little longer (185 like you said), I would recommend going up to the 188 not down. You won't regret this ski.

The 167 should be alright for you, and even the 174 if you are really pushing hard. I always like a longer ski, just for the stability, and the extra float. But for sure the 167 is manageable for you.

Depending on what lenses you plan on taking with you, I would say that you for sure could use this pack. The tripod should fit fine on the outside, and body, first aid, couple snacks and couple lenses should fit. I haven't tried a big load out of camera gear in this particular pack, but it does hold quite a bit of gear. A more all-seasons orientated pack might work out better for you though, for some more external storage to keep the body and lenses in the main pouch and water bottle or snack on the outside, easily accessible.

I wouldn't trust it for too much, but if your boots are relatively light or you aren't going too far, it should be alright. If you plan on throwing the bag around with the boots hanging from it, it might not hold.

It sometimes gets a little floppy, but nothing super bad. You might want to size down to something else though if that's all it will ever hold.

Rubber can still be rigid.

Not 100% sure, they seem to be about the same to my hands though. Check the sizing chart for these, and that should give you a good idea.

Best way to tell you is to show you, so here is the Dakine site. Click the pictures until you see the one with the shovel.
