This jacket is cut pretty slim, as its meant to be a layer itself; though it makes a great jacket on its own... I can't tell you what size to get, but if you plan on layering up like that and you don't want the MontBell to become too tight, you might want to size up. Also, the MontBell Alpine Light Parka is a slightly heavier jacket and is cut fuller, but still weighs next to nothing.

The red/gray shown above from backcountry is the Autobahn/Black. The orange/black Kretzky posted is actually the Black/Clemantine/Autobahn

Oakley has a great web site that explains this stuff, though its a little hard to find... http://www.oakley.com/pd/1650 click on the tab that says "lens tints" and then choose your color by clicking on "change lens" It'll give you a short description, all the specs and even simulates how the lenses look on the snow.

The bag comes in three sizes: 145cm, 157cm & 165cm You can choose which one you want in the drop down menu

It really depends on what kind of pants you plan on wearing and where you are going. All snowshoes are going to throw snow up at the back of your legs. If you wear ski pants then no, you don't need gaiters. Most already have them built in, plus they are water resistant. If you are not wearing ski pants, they would be a good idea, especially if you plan on trekking through some deep snow or fluffy pow.

Yes! It is reversible! Two sweaters in one!

Dawg.... Thermacore is Burton's synthetic insulation material.Its not as puffy as most down jackets and it still works when its wet! This jacket should keep you nice 'n toasty, especially when you start to pack on the layers.. i mean layerzzzzzzzz

Its smooth leather, but it's got a slightly distressed finish. You can get a better look at it here: http://www.nixonnow.com/watches/womens/the-chalet-leather-A576.html

Green.... like sage green. See the smaller picture under the main pic.

This camera is compatible with Mac OS X 10.4.7 or higher... in this case, they're using "PC" generically.

It depends on your style, but the prAna ones are some of the more girly ones I've seen...

The leg braces come with the boat. They are pads that create a tighter, more custom fit at your knees/thighs, giving you more control over your boat.

This boat is for one person.

doubtful.. we've got a boat that's 21x36" and it BARELY fits. It works for keeping the critters out in the garage, but I doubt it would hold if we tried to put it on the car, using the boat as storage for our wet gear. I'd try the NRS Deluxe Cockpit Cover in a small for a more secure fit.

you will need some sort of rack, such as the Thule aero feet and load bars. Go through the car rack configurator at the top of this page to see exactly what fits your vehicle.

Backcountry doesn't carry it, but REI and CampSaver do!

Yeah! I wash my reefs in the washer all the time! I usually throw in some towels or other heavy-duty type stuff to keep the load balanced and the flops from bouncing all over the place. Cold water, air dry, enjoy!

when it comes to fabrics, flocked is basically "soft & fuzzy". It means that a soft texture has been applied to the fabric.

No. Try the NRS Deluxe Cockpit Cover in a small

only the Basmati color is on sale right now.

38 x 21"

Their padding is the same thickness, but the brik does not come up as high on the chest as the wedge does, giving it a slightly lower profile. Both only have one small-ish pocket which can only hold low-profile items, as the mesh is stretched tight against the pfd (see comment below). Comfort level would best be determined by yourself, as these jackets are very similar. I have the wedge, which I love. Boyfriend has the brik, but only because they were out of the wedge in his size. He loves his brik now and says he would be happy with either jacket.

I believe you are looking for these: http://www.backcountry.com/store/MAU0010/Maui-Jim-Kahuna-Sunglasses-Polarized.html They are not Electrics, but Maui Jims.

Good idea! You'll be less likely to get cold, and you'll be so much more comfortable in these than if you were to wear cotton shorts.

Contact Maui Jim. They don't sell replacement parts, but they will fix them for you and the service is warrantied. Much better than taking them to some random shop.

It's kinda on the large side. The maximum size for a carry-on is 22 x 14 x 9 inches, or a total of 45 inches, while the medium bag is 24 x 15 x 15in (54 total inches). If you don't stuff it to its max capacity, you can get away with it fitting in the space necessary.

The sizes are all US. A UK 9 equals a US 10 (see sizing chart above in the order box).

The Brik has an extra strap that goes across the front and diagonally down the sides for added fit adjustments. It also sits lower on the body than the Wedge. The Wedge comes up much higher on the chest and back, which helps hold in "the twins". I find this to be much more comfortable than the Brik, which ends in the middle of my chest, squeezing me in all sorts of directions (picture someone wearing a corset that is too small on them). I've never tried the BeaSea, so I can't compare these to it, but these two are specifically whitewater jackets, while the Bea is not. All that said, I'm a size 6 (with a medium-sized chest) and wear a Medium in the Wedge and love it. I recommend it!

This jacket does not have interior zippers or loops to accommodate a liner. Usually only shell-style jackets are zip-in compatible (see TNF "Off Limits" and "Kira" jackets).

If you take another look at the sizing chart, in the very top row it shows the corresponding letter sizes. According to that, a 14 would be a L. The reason these pants' sizes are different is because these are actually children's pants, but because you are petite, these may still work for you!

http://adventuresports.com/product/oak-orchard/cc1.php Scroll down the page to find covers for a huge range of boats!

harmonygear.com also has two varieties, but I'm not sure if they will fit your boat. I'd call to check.

If you don't like those, try googling "tandem kayak cover"

Down:
•offers more warmth per weight, meaning a down 15° bag will weight less than a synthetic 15° bag
•less bulky, can be packed down to a smaller size
•cost more
•last much longer
•some people are allergic
•pain in the ass to clean properly

Synthetic:
•bags dry faster, making them a better choice for wet climates
•will eventually "deflate", the insulation gets matted down with use, affecting its ability to insulate properly
•cost less
•pretty easy to clean

I'm sure I've forgotten some points, but hopefully this can help you make your decision!

No. It is expandable so that you can make more room if you need to, but it is still one bag.

no shelf bra

This one's just fabric. Great for lounging around. Not great for being discreet in cold weather.

I can't vouch for these bottoms in particular, but all of the lole bottoms I've tried are pretty full coverage. Your cheekies should be safe!

#7 is the "other" category, meaning a wide range of materials can fall within it. The Tritan material Nalgene uses is a copolyester and does not contain BPA. Also, the last sentence of the product description may use poor grammer, but it still says: "it's doesn't have BPA."

Yes, they are hinged and the material itself if pretty flexible.

38"

The dimensions shown are actually for the 1200XT, a size backcountry does not have in stock. The last number is the height (17"). As for what's in stock, the height of the 1600XT is 16.3" and the 1800XT is 16.9"

Go here http://www.bigagnes.com/Home/FAQs the second FAQ is how BA recommends washing your bag.

Try the car configurator at the top of the page. Its very thorough and should tell you exactly what you need and where to find it on backcountry!

That is incorrect. The blackwater DOES come in a tandem. It can be found here: http://www.backcountry.com/store/DAG0028/Dagger-Blackwater-II-135-Kayak.html Search "tandem kayak" in the search field to see all the other models backcountry carries if that one doesn't suit your needs.

Yes, the padding in the cups is removable.

Because it is last season's model, which is why its on sale! They are trying to push out all the old inventory, try other sites for an xxl.

i would contact wildernesssystems.com or harmonygear.com to see if they can send you a copy.

The only color that is on sale for that price is the camo/apricot. The rest are still full price.

yes, it will fit over a coleman stove. its dimensions are 20 x 11"

Yes, but for the most secure fit, it all depends on what rack you've got. Go here http://www.backcountry.com/store/car_rack/thule/begin.html and here http://www.backcountry.com/store/car_rack/yakima/begin.html to find out what fits your truck and kayak needs.

You can use two regular pads and join them together with the Therm-a-rest kit if you don't like them moving around. There are also a few double wide pads out there. Backcountry has this one: http://www.backcountry.com/store/POE0076/Pacific-Outdoor-Equipment-Mega-Mat-Sleeping-Pad.html Big Agnes also makes one called the Hinman Double Wide, which is about $100 cheaper, if you can find it.

Store it in the larger storage sack, not the stuff sack, or hang it in a closet if you've got the space. Keep out of anywhere damp.

Boys' and girls' shoe sizes are the same. If you are unsure what size you need, measure her foot with a ruler and compare that measurement with the sizing chart in the order box above.

PowPow- Both boots are rated to -40°. The Caribus weigh slightly more than the Pacs. The Caribu also has a deeper tread on its sole, making it slightly better for off-road hikes and icy areas. . The tread on the Pacs doesn't grip as well. The Caribus' upper is a nubuck leather while these are embossed leather. I believe nubuck leather is tougher. Here is the difference between the two liners:

"ThermoPlus® InnerBoots: Pioneered by Sorel in 1993 after extensive field testing. ThermoPlus® InnerBoots provide superb warmth, moisture transfer, comfort, and durability. An advanced four-layer construction wicks perspiration from the foot, maximizes thermal insulation, and reflects body heat back to the foot for a warm, dry foot "climate".

1. Soft, short loop polyester Minktex® (green inner layer) maximizes contact to quickly wick perspiration from the foot.
2. Black polypropylene core insulates and facilitates wicking process.
3. Radiantex® foil reflects body heat back to the foot.
4. Polyester/viscose blend (camel outerlayer) insulates and stores moisture away from the foot.

Washable/Recycled InnerBoots: Pre-consumer recycled polyester. Ideal for children's boots where InnerBoots are exposed to excessive dirt and perspiration. A unique two-layer construction wicks moisture from feet and provides excellent insulation."

No, it will not. Try the Thule Aero or Rapid Aero, or use the configurator at the top of this page.

this will not work with a Solara, but the Thule Speedway 3 bike carrier will : http://www.backcountry.com/store/THU0107/Thule-Speedway-Bike.html

This fits binto BINS but is not designed to fit the entire binto bar. To get a better idea of its dimensions and what it looks like when fully loaded, check here: http://kelty.com/kelty/products.php?type=12&cat=94&id=379&image=487

I would try a medium. I'm the same way and a small in patagonia dresses is somewhat tight on top for me.

Modal is a natural fiber made out of beech trees. It is similar to rayon. Its softer and more absorbent than cotton. I am not aware of any sun protection properties. Personally, I love modal. It doesn't shrink or twist and is soooo soft!

you should be using the 215cm

These clogs do come in black, but backcountry does not carry them. They do have them in the closed-back style in black (http://www.backcountry.com/store/DSK0007/Dansko-Professional-Cabrio-Clog-Womens.html)

Men's size 8

The inseam is 12 inches. Backcountry's return policy can be found here: http://sales.liveperson.net/hc/s-9551721/cmd/kbresource/kb-898564650005261057/view_question!PAGETYPE?VisitorProfile=BCS&sf=101133&documentid=239621&action=view&MESSAGEVAR!home=no&MESSAGEVAR!cookie=no ...you can return them no matter what but you will have to pay for the return shipping.

Our weimaraner is around 87 pounds, 32.5" in girth and 29" in length. He has this in a medium and it is perfect. There is also enough extra webbing on the straps that I would think a medium would work for Hank as well. When I looked at the large in the store, it looked huge. Our guy loves wearing it on hikes!

Adela- The Caribu's weight about 5 ounces more than the Pac's. The Caribu also has a deeper tread on its sole, making it slightly better for off-road hikes. The Pac's don't grip as well in icy areas either. Here is the difference between the two liners:

Tree frog is a solid light green (see top, far right image) and tree frog burst is dark gray with a green pattern (top, far left image). The images in the bottom row that are labeled "tree frog burst" are actually "tree frog stripe". It is incorrect, and Backcountry does not carry that color (stripe) anymore

They are rated to -40°F/C. They are super comfortable and waterproof, but they are heavy to a lot of people, so while you can definitely use them for snowshoeing, you may get worked much quicker than you'd like.

No shelf bra.

No difference. I believe blue is last year's color. It also only comes in XXL.

Correct, the opening of the Kleen Kanteen bottles is 1.75" They do manufacture a sport cap, which will help prevent spills, but unfortunately backcountry does not carry it.

According to Yakima, this rack does not fit a 2002 Subaru Outback Wagon: http://yakima.com/racks/bike-racks/product/8002100/copperhead.aspx ...see "Does this fit my car?" on right. They have plenty of other options though!

Armand-
The inseam is measured from the bottom of the crotch to the bottom hem of the pant leg, along your inner thigh.

The plus is .5" thicker, weighs a bit more and is considered a four-season pad, while the prolite is a three-season pad. I use a 20" pad and it's wide enough for my average frame. It depends on how much weight you want to carry. If you think you roll around a lot, you may want a wider pad, but its not really necessary. I'd say go for the regular size.

The price is for one strap. These straps are great and last forever, go for it!

Backcountry has an awesome return policy (found here: http://sales.liveperson.net/hc/s-9551721/cmd/kbresource/kb-898564650005261057/view_question!PAGETYPE?VisitorProfile=BCS&sf=101133&documentid=239621&action=view&MESSAGEVAR!home=no&MESSAGEVAR!cookie=no) you can return them no matter what but you will have to pay for the return shipping.

Men's sandals are wider. If you have a wide foot, you should be fine. If your foot is narrow, or average for a woman, then it may slide around more, which could lead to blisters.

yes, this will work fine!

small

http://www.freestyleusa.com/support/warranty/instructions/2168/Lopex+World+Class.pdf

Yes, it would be.

I would talk to Dakine themselves (dakine.com) and see if they have any pieces left. If not, find out the color name from them. If its not too old, some retailers may still have some in stock. If that doesn't work, I'd try ebay.

You'll have to take it to a jeweler or send it to Nixon to get it changed. Go to nixonnow.com for more info.

There is no TNF rain cover, but backcountry has many other covers that are compatible with this pack: http://www.backcountry.com/store/group/100000167/Pack-Accessories.html As far as on its own, the pack will only be mildly water-resistant.

In that case this should be fine, the harness on the pack is exactly like the web harness. btw, I was in no way questioning your intentions, just throwing the thought out there in case it hadn't crossed your mind.

Patience, my friend.... These shades are unisex. http://www.mauijim.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?storeId=10001&catalogId=11601&langId=-1&categoryId=17620#

Thule Hullavator is by far the easiest. Its also muy expensivo. A cheaper option would be to get the outrigger to help hoist up the boat, then get 2 Thule hull-a-ports, or Yakima HullRaisers, which provide 4 contact points (each) for extra boat security. Check out http://yakima.com/Consumer/Step1.aspx and http://www.thuleracks.com/carrier_water1.asp to custom outfit your vehicle.
