no sorry this will not

Marina ,
I would highly recommend this pack in the SL . It is made for your body type and with the Aircomfort back panel will reduce perspiration by 20% . The ACT trail SL is also a great pack from Deuter. But for a day pack I prefer the Futura fit.

These would be excellent for what you intend to use them for. I think they would be awesome for paragliding .

ash,
This boot is definately waterproof has goretex . Depending on how big of a pack you would be using these may be suitable ..these are hiking boots and are considered a mid duty hiking boot. I think you may want to consider the Hunza which is alos a Scarpa boot has a stiffer midsole and fits a wider foot . http://www.backcountry.com/scarpa-hunza-gtx-boot-womens

I think you will be just fine. The liners are heat moldable so you can really customize the fit . I fear if you go to the mens size which is wider you will loose that nice narrow heal fit.

yes it would have to be a Petite mummy.

Kenny . Yes thes will fit RX perfectly . As a metter of fact this is one of the most popular RX frames for Mountaineering. Opticus in Boulder Colorado does an amazing job with RX and has a variety of Lens's to work with www.opticus.com

Jen.. a 36.5 is a (US womens 5.5) you will be jumping a whole size if you go to a 37.5 if your asking if you need to size up .. i would say these fit rather true to size.

Hans I would say this is a shoes that fits a medium width foot well.

This is a great pad for the Bad back. Kepp in mind this is a warm weather pad , if you need more insulation try the insulated air core ..Even better would be the new Big Agnes Q-core . its 3.5 " thick

Trish ,
Sorry that was an acessory attachment for the emerald mountain series it will not fit this tent. you could jump up and give yourself some room by going to the 2 person version .. it still has smaller pole lenghths to fit in paniers.

Yes this will fit a torso lenght from 15" to 20" your going to be right in the sweet spot. As for the snow shoe bindings I belive these particular models have removable bindings.

yes this is a mistake . You are correct park series is for a 25X78 inch pad

You could also try some Tech Wash from Nikwax soak it in a bucket then rinse .

There is a front stast pocket similar to the speedlite

You know this was designed as an Ice climbing boot . If you looking for something that is a bit more versitle i would consider the Triolet pro or CHarmoz from Scarpa.

they both fit fine ou will be all good with either size.

Like a glove ! You will really like this pack wil fit you great

the original PCS will not fit inside the sumo

The Kid Carrier 2 and 3 ( the 3 is what your looking at )

waist goes down to 24" and Max's out at 54"
Hope this helps

It is no-see um mesh .. so yes it is

Jen,
64 is the girth on the Regular size , 69 is on the Long, you could also consider some of our womens bags which are wider in the Hips by 2" in most cases. The Ethel is 68" for a regular womens,

hey there , a size 29 mondo is a mens us 12 or 11 UK . Keep in mind that 2 size share one shell. so a 27.5 and 28 are the same size shell with a longer liner in the 28 size. make sense ? I am a size 11. us and I typically take a size 28. Hope this helps.
Kirk

Tech Wash from Nikwax will work

Matt,
Wash in is going to work great .. I would recommend using Tech wash first

44 would be the size for you

Yes its real you may ski this boot with dynafit bindings. Now skiing like a downhill boot depends on what you are skiing . I would say it skis like a downhill boot with 100 flex .

Rob,
really hard to comment on this as everyone has his own preference. I would say no though 2 buckles and beingpretty soft it is made more for a long range Backcountry boot. I would look at the T2 Eco instead.

Pete,
No it would not be this has an Alpine Touring Lugged Sole with Rocker in it only compatible with bindings that have a moveable anti friction plate .. like Marker Duke , Baron or tour Bindings.or any other AT bindig

The comps are about 15 to 20% stiffer than the comp . If your coming from T2's I would go for the Tx Pro.. we also make the TX which would be closer even to the T2 if you like a lighter flex and a 3 Buckle boot . TX Pro is our best seller in NTN.

will work fine not as heavy concentration as the glove proof though.

Whit,
I bet the T2's are the closest thing to what you been skiing in the T1, I think it wuld be a perfect blend betwee control and the weight you desire for the backcountry. Tricky on the shell size though as it ha chenged from what you have. I am a size 11.0..I take a 27.5-28 with ample room. The next shell up is the 28.5-29 . if you border line 11.5 I would go with he 28 shell.

That is personal preference. I think you can do anything you want of you put your mind to it . Really though these are a bit soft so it may be a bit of a squirly ride on the havocs.

4 lbs 14 oz trail weight is.. body, fly and poles only

Chris,
I wear a size 11 shoe and do a 27.5-28 Keep in mind that Scarpa shells start on the half size IE: the 27.5-28 share the same shell and have a different length liner. I think you would be that 27.5-28 get the size 28 if you need a little more room.

Court,
I would agree that the camel does not get as light as the Zebra. The camel lens is polarized so polarization tends on giving it a darker tint. Zebra is non-polarized which i prefer better for driving and low light situations.

yes there is and yes they do : http://www.backcountry.com/big-agnes-copper-spur-ultralight-series-tent-footprint

This bag does require a 20" pad you can not use a 25" in this bag

yes it can you will be just 2" short as the bag is 78" long .

Jeff.. you know its all personal preference. these boots do only have a 100 flex so you need to make the call . They definately will not fit in alpine bindings they must go into an AT binding. If you looking for a resort ripper with Dynafit fitting try the Skookum or Mobe .. skookum being a good blend of both worlds. If your going to use a Dynafit binding for the resort as well as Bckcountry I would say this would be good. If you trying to drive a ski that is more than 120 underfoot the maestrell could be a bit sqirlley for you.

Hey there I think you would be OK but would recommend the Big Agnes insulated aircore, more warmth not so much more on weight.

yes this has a half sleeve in it which can accomodate all styles of pad ( mummy or Retangular) and yes it has a pillow sleeve . Enjoy !

Jason,
I belive the Bent cheeater are pretty big skis, they may over power the boots I would go for the Tx pro you will be way happier in the long run.

We do make a boot called the escape that is lighter but as burly as the SLM3 or the Barun GTx. and these both have the Vibram sole. You may also look at the Bhutan GTX for an even lighter alternative .. also has Vibram on it . Hope that helps a bit

Yes the stove is shorter it is a .08 liter . You can fit all the goodies in here the instructions inside the stove will show you how to properly stack. The Zip does not have an ignitor you need to light with a lighter .

Yes you can .

There is a half sleeve and one starp to secure the pad at the bottom. Not annoying at all really easy to use.

Tara
These ultralight tents are pretty tight on space . I always say the 2 person is good for one plus gear or two folks that really get along well. So the 2 would be good for him and you if you need. However if the 3 person isnt too much weight more room is better !

Greg,
The floor does run up the sides of the tent so I guess it is bathtub style. It is coated and seam taped for to be highy waterproof. The floor length when staked out s 90" long, so 7 foot 5" plenty of leg room. I can sit up in it but I am 5'9" the tallest portion of the tent is 38" . Hope this helps

yes this is a misprint . The Octopus lens is an NXT lens which is a Polycrabonate Ballistic Material . Anti Fog, Photochromatic and Hydrophobic properties are laser ecthed into the lens.

Rainfly very adequate , seams folded seam taped all around 1200mm waterproof coating will stand up to 120 PSI , yes noseeum meshing

Paul ..Ryan is correct Opticus in Boulder, Colorado is the best of the best! They specialize in all Julbo products especially mountaineering glasses , very good pricing as well.

Yes TX Direct is the way to go . Not familiar with the Motto Jacket but if it has a fleece liner Spray On Works best.
I would consider using Tech wash first to clean both items.

OK I am the Scarpa rep but was the G3 rep for years I have skiied all the Tele Bindings out there. Performance wise these kick butt. Really stiff laterally the power to ski transmission is like no other. The disadvantage is they are heavy for touring , and the free pivot is not as free ( more mechanical ) then say BD O1, G3 Targa Ascent. But having the ability to use one boot for Tele and AT is quite nice and the boots are really comfortable especialyy for boot packing and hiking. My 2

In my experience I have seen folks of your build rip it up on these AT and Tele. Very hard to give a definitive answer as its a personal preference thing. But if you a experience tele skier making the switch I think you will be please with the perfomae for both applications.

yes it does

This is an Italian made shoe and will hold up fine for a resole go for it.

I would only use flexible strap on crampons this has a stiff midsole but not rigid.

Jim,
I would second Ryan's response . This model is not going to stretch a whole lot. 41 may be good for you .

Spectron 4 is our polycarbonate lens and Category 4 is the darkest. The alti Arc is a glass lens and the camel is Ballistic material , has anitfog, and is Photocromatic ( lens changes from Category 2 ( light) to Category 4 camel is also polarized.

all of these work great I prefer a Camel or Spectron as the are a bit lighter and essentially shatterproof.

Contest is a big fit much like the Dirt. The Run is more of a medium fit.

BT,
These are not interchanable. However they are Photochromatic ( Zebra) so they will change darkness every 22 seconds with change in UV light so no need to change lens or loose addtional lens's

floor length 100" width 96"-82 as it tapers to the bottom fo the tent.
