Nope the hood is not detachable, it is a fixed hood so the little ones don't lose it.

Bummer you lost your volt, here is my two cents. If you are looking for almost and exact replacement of the volt go with the nimble jacket, if you are looking for something a little more fleecy with less wind and weather protection than the volt the momentum is great and probably the better layering piece, the pneumatic is heavier than the volt and will offer better wind and weather protection than your volt.

No the Prophecy is not waterproof, if you are looking for a waterproof alternative the hedgehog is a good way to go.

The TPE fabric that this bag is made out is waterproof, however the seams and zipper's are not in turn no it is not waterproof.

You would definitely want to throw a few layers underneath this jacket for those kinds of temps.

This is a super cozy sweatshirt for the fall season.

Nope this jacket is not waterproof like the resolve, it is a great wind jacket. I would buy the resolve or venture if you are looking for a lightweight waterproof jacket.

If you click on "view sizing chart" up near the price on this page that should give you some guidance as to what size you should order.

Yep that is "Bittersweet Brown" on the sleeves and the liner.

You can't remove the hood but it does stow in the collar

The shoulders are not reinforced, however the shell of the jacket is a ripstop nylon and mesh lined so it should have no problem holding up to hiking with a backpack.

Yes the hood stows in the collar.

Black is last seasons black (which is why it is discounted), while black/black is this seasons black. Other than that no real difference. Hopefully that makes sense.

The biggest difference in these two pants is the styling. The park cargo has super stylie asymetrical cargo pockets while the monte has stylie but more standard cargo pocketing. Neither one of them is insulated in the knees or otherwise. Both are lined with tricot and taffeta.

Yes it has a foam pellet filled cylinder at the bottom to pad your lap top when you set your pack down. This is probably the best lap top friendly pack the north face makes.

It all depends on what type of person you are, I would say if you are always cold then yeah it might work. More and more people are skiing in big down jackets and just wearing a synthetic tee shirt underneath. If you are generally a warm person than more than likely with any exertion you are going to overheat. I am a warm person and have the McMurdo which is similar to this and unless I am just sitting around in hella cold weather it gets too hot.

It depends on which size you buy. The medium should work for a carry on, but I don't think the Large or X-Large will.

Right and Left Zip is determined as you are laying in the bag not when you are looking at the bag. So the picture is a right zip because if you were laying in the bag the zipper would be on your right.

A small should fit over your small thunder jacket just fine.

This jacket is purely a shell, if you are looking for one with a lining you will probably want to check out the K jacket.

The sleeve length is not adjustable. In case you meant the cuffs they have a have a zippered gusset.

20.0 oz

Dimensions: S/M 26.25" X 13" X 10.5", M/L 27.5" X 13" X 10.5"
Optimum Load Weight Range: 15-45lbs

Center Backlength is 29"

Sorry no hood on this one.

The dimensions are 20.5" X 13" X 8". The X shot is 1/2" longer than the Sure Shot.

This bag packs down fairly small, the stuff sack size is 8" X 17" so you can count on it packing down to at least those dimensions or smaller.

I would not suggest machine washing a day pack there is too much potential for the straps and things to catch on the agitator and being damaged. A front loading comercial washer might work. But the safest bet would be just to hand wash it in a sink or tub.

It is definitely a thin lightweight jacket which means besides blocking the wind/rain it doesn't really insulate you from the cold. If you layered properly (baselayer, fleece, etc) it could be warm enough for winter use. But as Ingrid mentions above and I would have to agree it makes a better spring skiing and summer and fall shell jacket.

19"X13"X7" (48cmX33cmX18cm) are the dimensions

Sorry Dawn but I don't think they ship The North Face products to Australia. You may want to live chat and check with a gear guru.

Taylor that's a pretty vague question but i'll take a shot at it. It is a 200 weight fleece so worn by itself it will get the job done on cool spring and fall days/evenings, layered underneath a shell/jacket it will keep you warm on real cold days.

The regular has a 10" inseam the long has a 12" inseam.

The center back length of this jacket is 25.5"

The center back length of this jacket is 25.5"

The floor of the Rock 22 is approximately 89"X54" while the floor of the tephra 22 is 83"X52"X43" (it tapers). So the rock 22 footprint will be anywhere from 2" to 9" too big it's your call whether that is "close enough" or not.

For that temperature range you will be in this jacket should work just fine. A quarter zip or lightweight fleece jacket layered underneath should keep you warm when it's on the colder side. As far as bang for your buck in a nice lightweight rain jacket this is a good way to go.

It has an adjustable hem, so you can cinch up the shockcord at the hem to make the bottom of the jacket tighter.

If you are looking for a footprint Backcountry sells it seperately

http://www.backcountry.com/store/TNF3831/The-North-Face-Mica-12-Footprint.html

A footprint is a custom ground cloth for your tent, it goes underneath your tent when you set it up. It is made to match up with the shape and size of the floor of your tent. Do you need it no, will it protect the floor of your tent and increase the life of you tent yes. Another bonus is it can create a floor for tents that have fly only pitching (Ability to pitch just the rain fly with out the tent body).

I just got the stretch diad jacket and I am pretty stoked about it.I hiked for four hours in the rain last saturday and stayed bone dry. It's super light weight, cut well to accomadate a harness, and has a nice stretch to it for climbing and all around mobility. Its the same price as the ciradian. That's my two cents. Happy Trails!

I have carried on the medium and even the large base camp duffel the key is, as Laura mentioned, just not filling it all the way up and using the compression straps on the side to keep it small enough to still fit.

It is a very dark green, a great men's color.

Both of the primary fabrics used to build this pack have a DWR finish but none of the seams are taped and obviously there are a lot of zippers. In turn I would say this pack is water resistant at best.

The Thunder Jacket is much lighter primarily because of a lighter shell fabric, and 800 vs 600 fill down. In turn I think the that the thunder is a much lighter, packable, and a little warmer.

No, this means it has a pocket that the included rain cover packs into. The raincover is like a rainfly for your pack, so it should keep everything in your pack dry including your cell phone, mp3, etc dry.

Yes the black strip is a mesh panel that is for ventilation.

I would would either put anything that you don't necesarrily need to get to regularly but want want easily accesible when you do need it. (ie fleece, rain jacket, toiletries). Or as you start to accumulate dirty clothes I sometimes stuff them in the sleeping bag compartment to keep them seperate from my clean/cleaner clothes.

This is the longest fleece jacket The North Face makes I am not sure if other brands make anything longer.

I agree with Angus if you are doing anything more than just walking around town look for a lace up. You may check out the Chilkats, McMurdo or Four Shadows.

I like the Venture because it is lighter and more packable without the lining. I also prefer the velcro adjustable cuff tabs of the Venture vs the elastic cuffs on the Resolve. They don't appear to be 20% off but you may want to check via the live chat.

Yes it is very similar it is just the older model.

The fabric is waterproof however the zippers and seams are not waterproof.

Actually this style won't be available from north face for fall '09 so if you are absolutely in love with this style I would start hunting around for one. Otherwise hang tight until this Fall and i'm sure Backcountry will have comparable styles available.

The top and the bottom are different colors, up top I think it is venetian orange and down low is rubix red. So while it is a one piece it looks like two.

This is a great jacket for tropical climates and heavy rain. You may also look at the venture jacket it is a little lighter and more packable.

no not disatvantaged, a little unessecary because your shell should be windproof, but thats itThe only disadvantage will be breathability if this fleece is worn underneath a hard shell your perspiration now has two membranes to get through before escaping. Great midlayer styles without a membrane include the momentum, pumori or khumbu.

The compression straps on the side have buckles that clip.

There is a pocket closest to the back panel that is meant to carry a computer

The inseam varies based on size, but is between 30" and 31.5". I don't know for sure on the waistband, but it looks to be a wide, comfortable elastic waistband with no drawstring. The inseam is 32", check out the detail view photo to see the wide super comfortable waist band

The inseam is 7" and they have a small button closure cargo pocket and a zippered back pocket.

I think you'll surviveThis is a great college pack and carries a laptop and books no problem. It has bottom an side compression straps so that will reduce the turtle effect when you don't have much in it.

18.3oz, 520g

The pant legs zip off and convert into 9" shorts

It is removeable.

If you want to keep snow out, something with a back would be better. Like this:http://www.backcountry.com/store/TNF3321/The-North-Face-Nuptse-Bootie-II-Mens.htmlIt's a bit (a lot) more expensive but way better if you want to walk in snow.No it does not have a drawstring, I agree with Angus Nuptse Bootie II or the NSE Tent Bootie is the way to go in the snow.

Regular is a 6" Inseam, Short is a 4" Inseam

All Men's and Women's Denali Jackets have a hem cinch cord, while all Youth Denali Jackets do not have a hem cinch cord.

It's not super dark or super light kind of right in the middle. I bought it for my girl friend in pumice grey for Christmas and she loves it, wears it everyday.

What are you talking about?Monkey thumb cuffs maybe? No it does not have Monkey thumb cuffs.

Yes, this jacket has cinchcord at the hem.

Yes, The North Face makes that color in size large but it looks like it is currently out of stock you should check with customer service an see when they will get more in.

This is the extremely soft "high loft" fleece that has almost a furry texture to it.

This jacket is 3" longer than the Greenland. The Transit has a center back length of 30", while the Greenland only has a center back length of 27". I will let you decide it that will fall at your thigh or not.

It is not stark white, it is more of an off white, almost but not quite creamy.

It's not waterproof at all.Both the 420D and 1680D Nylons in this pack have a Durable Water Resistant (DWR) finish.

Here are the dimensions of the Med and Small [S] 20 x 12 x 12in (51 x 31 x 31cm); [M] 24 x 15 x 15in (61 x 38 x 38cm)

It's the kind of wool that comes from sheep. Not merino, if you're wondering.I own this jacket and as Angus said it is traditional wool but the jacket is completely lined so I have never noticed it to be itchy and my lady friend has no problem cozying up to it so you should have no complaints.

The centerbacklength is 23"This sassy piece is pretty short so it probably won't cover your keister.

The hood is fixed so it doesn't zip off.

No this style does not come in tall sizes

The liner zips in
