Mountain Hardwear Nitrous Down Jacket - Men's
December 27, 2009
Down jackets are made to be big. They are built to be worn over many layers. A small should be appropriate, but check the size chart to make sure the sleeves won't be too short.

Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero SL Down Parka - Men's
December 27, 2009
Down Jackets usually are not waterproof, rather they are water resistant meaning that they can stand up to a mist or light drizzle. Down turns to "pancake batter" in the rain and is useless when wet.

La Sportiva Venom Climbing Shoe
December 27, 2009
This shoe has a more aggressive instep than the optimus prime, meaning that your foot will be better angled to grip the wall. This makes shoe size all the more important. It is best to take your sneaker size and drop it down half a size. If your sneaker is a 42.5 go with the 42.
