MontBell Ultralight Down Inner Parka - Men's
February 24, 2010
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.

MSR Denali Classic Snowshoe
February 24, 2010
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.

Stohlquist Brik Personal Flotation Device
June 29, 2009
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.

Stohlquist Wedge-e Personal Flotation Device
June 18, 2009
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!

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!

Marmot Pinnacle Sleeping Bag: 15 Degree Down - Women's
June 15, 2009
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!

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.

Backcountry.com Goat Klean Kanteen - 40 oz
May 13, 2009
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.

Therm-a-Rest Prolite Plus Sleeping Pad
May 12, 2009
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.

Chaco Z/2 Unaweep Sandal - Women's
May 11, 2009
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.

DAKINE Groomer Kit
May 6, 2009
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.

Ruffwear Approach Dog Pack

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.

Thule Outrigger II Kayak Mount
May 5, 2009
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.
