Yeah its Gore-Tex it is totaly water proof, and you can wear it sking but it has zero insulating value so f its warmer where yoy ski sure, but you will want some sort of insulating layer underneath, at least a fleec or similar.

I have scheuermann's kyphosis and the shirt will help, very very minimal though dont expect any miricals, you are better off training your muscles to subconsciously to correct your posture.

The fit is true, so stick with the medium, and the material is good quality so it will hold up fine and the fabric does not snag an easier then other materials

large will fit better but the xl will be a little longer, and since you have a pretty long torso, it might be a better bet

You should be able to get them from oakley, but if not your best bet would be just to seach online. i.e. ebay or google shopping

No it goes under your bag

They work great for day hikes or as camp shoes but do not offer the support needed to carry a pack for multi-day hikes or offer and ankle support for rugged terrain.

It is not the best jacket, but it will work unless you live where the snow is exceptionaly wet because that jacket is not fully waterproof just water resistant.

yeah i have seen people rock it that way several times, hell we stack wakeboards like that.

They have about a million items so a typo here and there are to be expected.

It will stop a light breeze but that is about it, and when it comes to rain never let a fleece get wet or you will hate your life for as long as you have it on.

It really depends on your build, but more than likely a medium is what you need.

I would not think so, Denali is normally colder then Everest anyway.

get the 32s and a belt

small is def your best bet but that might even be a bit big.

You got it

I agree a size large is what I wear and I am 5'11" 195# 36in waist. You need a small.

I am almost the identical size but wear a 36 waist and I personal own both L and XL in mountain hardware and the L fits alot better, the XL is just to baggy.

That jacket should do very well, It is light enough and has pit zips for venting out heat and will keep you and your base layers dry. But as your only means of insulation it is far to light for the northern section in late fall, early winter.

Um the whole 2175 mile trail from maine to georgia or just a few miles?

Yes they are made in china. I have got a new pair and the sole has started to slighty seperate for the shoes main body, but it is very minimal. And I am known to be very hard on gear, but my original pair from years ago are still perfect so you do the math... go colorado. I suggest you and eveyone you know email chaco at help@chaco.com and tell them how disapointed you are in there move. They have a china file for complaints and it seems to be getting very big, so you never know.

I always thought I would hate the toe strap... then I got a pair with the toe strap and never looked back. The amount of laterial stabilty it adds to your footbed is unreal compaired to the Z/1's

Yeah the pro sole rocks, especialy in the water, but if you wear them on pavement,say roaming around campus, they get eaten up rather quickly.

A size nine in european is a 42... but there are not any 42s so i would say go smaller, because climbing shoes need to be snug. So the 41.5 sounds like the best route for you.

All black looks fine to me, but im am only seeing the jalapeno left.

It depends on how wide your load bars are. But more than likely they will fit. Unless you drive a smart car.

If you would like your entire body to be on the pad then you need long. I try to stay a minimalist so i get the short to cut weight, then use my pack to rest my lower legs on.

I would not advise you keep it full when hiking because there is no good way to attach it. Normally I just keep it rolled up then pump my filter then tie it to a tree at night at camp to cook and fill up bottles then empty in the morning.

They are both similar in the warmth aspect, but keep in mind they are both just outer shells and are only good by them selves to about 40 degrees. The Beryllium is just made out of a better and liter material for less weight, hints the extra 200$.

I wear a size 36x32 5'11" 200 lbs and the size large is what i wear, and they fit great.

Medium width fits size 7 through 8.5, so yes the should fit your size 8s

This thing lives in my bigger packs on trips. It crams into the size of a coke can.

Chacos do have excellent arch support.

Chacos are very true to size.

Durabily has never been a problem with Chacos

Chaco does resole and restrap, but if both strap and sole needs replaced it is normaly cheaper to replace with an entire new pair of chacos. But I have had them send me an entire new pair free of charge when I sent a pair of mine in.

Mountain Hardware totally owns The North Face in everyway.

I would not advise it, the level of bacteria growth possible is astronomical.
