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.

Ryan is right a bit overkill. The camel lens is good for Water sports though maybe try out the Julbo Run , Dirt or Race . The brown polorized lens is very good for brown water ( rivers , lakes )The octopus lens is better for the ocean.. its a gray lens

yes they will fit no problemo

you should go with the 39.5

I would go size 45

Chris the Techno is a straight lasted shoe( meaning no asymetry and no downturn) so you will get a different fit . So I would say that with this shoe you may want to size down of of your Techno size maybe a 1/2 size. They will stretch more than the Techno over time and this is an all day performance shoe so you want them snug.

to add to Eli's comments ..The Zip is a stripped down basic version of the Flash.. hence the cost. It does not have a Auto ignitor, heat indicator on cozy and is a smaller .08 liter cup

Morgan,

All of this years Flash come complete with pot support and stabilizer in them no need to buy another .

Stick,
I think you will really like these. The temple are straight back and wont squeeze your melon. The side sheilds really dont press on your face and they are removable, so you can pop them off when your rolling downtown off the mountain.

Phantom 8000 Is Designed for extended at high Altitude and extreme cold temps IE: Mount Everest $870 retail 1330 grams 1/2 pair size 42. Phantom 6000 is also a double boot it is lower cut than the 8000 but designed for more technical terrain in cold weather situations where you woud need more mobility and sensitivity.. Not as worm as 8000. 1000 grams per 1/2 pair $679. The Phantom Guide is a single boot designed to perform on Ice / technical rock routes .. we see a lot of folks using this boot for everyday Ice climbing not as warm as the above mentioned because it is a single boot and wont dry as fast as it is a single boot but offers more sensitivty demanding technical challenges. 983 Grams per 1/2 pair $525

Scott.. this will fit just take the screen and put it in the cup that protects the flux ring and the rod break in two and you can fit in side the stove

Sean,
Jeremy was mostly correct but the new 2011 Horsehief SL does have what your looking for it has a half sleeve and the lower half has traditional constrution( has insulation on the bottom) We did do this for exactly what you said so you can move your feet around.. but alos still keep that pad in place so you wnt slide off. This is the case for all Big Agne Divide series bags for 2011.

The way the Dirt is constructed it fits a Larger face the Run is a smaller fit.

yes they are available in the wide BXX . I would say close to the Manta fit in the standard BX last more so then the Escape. I feel the escape has a bit higher volume fit.

No, just an awning the both doodrs are waterproof I have never had issues in any weather with this system. You can buy the addtional vestibule that will give you this or look at the King Creek model from Big Agnes it has a full featured fly.

1.5oz

yes you can .. if you can . This pad may be a bit tough to fold the way you want but it certainly will not hurt the pad. If your looking for something more compressable try the Big Agnes insulated Aircore.. super light super pacable.

so for a regular72" and 78" long bag the zip will go 70" down the side of the bag . So on the regular it goes pretty mch all the way to the end .

Kerry,
This would be good , other suggestions for you would be the Julbo Coach and smaller fit would be the Julbo Ozone. The sailor does float so if your in the watera bunch this would be the best bet.

Kerry,
This would be good , other suggestions for you would be the Julbo Coach and smaller fit would be the Julbo Ozone. The sailor does float so if your in the watera bunch this would be the best bet.

John,
The tent will fit you and there is a small vestibule for Gear . If you want more room inside and still keep weight low i would suggest the Emerald Mountain 2 or Seedhouse SL 2

This bootle can wash up to 60 garments. Yes you can soak , as far as spot washing i am sure that would be fine but i have not tried.

45.5 should work in a scarpa

you could go either way , I would recoomend the Dynafit FT12 for resort/ Backountry , the onyx binding works well but they do not have a place to put the shim ( that came with your boots) The shim takes up the space between the boot and the binding and slides into the Dynafit but not G3 . So in short Dynafit FT12

Not sure what you mean about sole width but I assume your talking width of the last ? If so the typhoon is a 104 last as is the Mobe. Mobe is stiffer 125 flex Typhoon 110 flex but comes with a wlak tongue that give mor freedom of movement while hiking. Mobe is Dynafit compatible ..typhoon is not. Typhoon has a DIN approved sole and will work both in AT and Alpine bindings , Mobe has a lugged sole and can only be used with and AT binding.

You should be good to go with this pad. If its cold and damp I would recommend the insulated Aircore pad.

David,
I would only use this on the outside of the Jacket not the Liner as It will comprimise breathability. With that said I would use the TX Direct Spray on on the outside. I hope this helps.

I have tried and broken them I have them set up on a pair of Rossi System 7 skis . I got them to work but dont eef on them or they will snap...

Eddy,
I cn speak for Scarpa. The Shaka is the best bet for her volume issues . The liners are intuition so they can be custom molded to her. We can get some extra volume by heating the liners and wearing a thick sock and craning the buckles down during the molding process. Will be tight when we are doing this but in the end when she has her everyday ski sock on should make it happen.

yes you could but down proof would be best.

I would say the would be comparable in stiffness to the Nepal. They both have fully rigid insoles to accept fully rigid crampons. These do have goretex duratherm insulation in them so hey will keep your feet toasty. As far as -25c i cannot comment since all sorts of variables play into this.. I do know that i have been pretty cozy in some cold weather in Colorado . They will fit a touch wider than the Lasportiva

Yes this will work with any pad as long as it is 20" wide and 72"( for regular length ) 78" ( for the long)

Erick,
I have no experience with a snowboard on these boots but I think they would work great. I do have experience in Dynafit and NTN . And they work great, no slop very comfortable.

Yes would be good they have goretex to keep your feet dry and they are relatively tall . They do not have insulation though.

Sammy,
I think you will be real pleased with the system. I sleep on every part of my body and I have not had an issue at all. Its a sami retangular bag so should be happy rolling all over in this bag.

These would be a good all around boot for you. They will work fine on Vertical ice but wont excel at it. Long apporaches you will love them , they love to climb rock too. If your looking for something that will be more geared towards vertical ice you may want to consider the Jorasses Pro .

Colin,
This boot : the Terminator X is for use with the new Rottefella NTN system bindings and will not fit in traditional 75mm Bindings. The changes between old ( red) T2X and the new T2 eco : new plastic, New intuition liner, and they are a tad bit stiffer. Hope this helps. I think the best bet is the T2 Eco for what your needs are .

Caleb,
yes the will fit true to the sizing chart. They did get Editors choice in Backountry Magazine. These are based off of our best selling Skookum you can look to reviews on that model for more information. A hard charging dynafit compatible bootI do not fell you will be disappointed

Austin,
This is just a wash it will not waterproof. This will increae your breathabilty big time. But I would look into buying the TX Direct Spray on to waterproof the outside shell.

No the do not .

It depends on what year your old ones are. if you have old silver tongue or Yellow Tongue T1's yes they wil be different. And if you have a pair with non heat moldable liners you will definately get a different fit.

Jim,
This works really well with wool and wont hurt your jeans .

no they do not they can only be used with TX boots from Scarpa .. TX, TXpro or TX Comp . T1's have 75mm toe piece which is not compatabile with this system.

no they do not they can only be used with TX boots from Scarpa .. TX, TXpro or TX Comp . T1's have 75mm toe piece which is not compatabile with this system.

Hello Scarpa rep here. I can't give you much on the Voodoo as I am a bit biased . But wil tell you if you like the fit of the T2's you willove this boot . A great step up and will suit your backountry needs as well as your on area ripping.

Aaron,
I ski a ski that is 103 underfoot and my opnion wouldn't want to go much larger than that. Powder is good but have skied the ski area as well ..little squirly but once you get used to anythig i think you can make it work.

The Mobe is a good choice has a 104 last so good for your wide forefoot. and the intuition heat moldebale liners will accomodate your skinny heel and pretty much all of your foot . I would make sure you get these custom molded at a good Outdoor shop or Ski shop that specializes in boot fitting ..its worth the $

Fred I feel the F1 would be your best option as far as width. Course I am the rep but have tried them all on as well an I could honestly say this would be the widest of the bunch. The liners are heat moldable so you could get some width by molding these with a large sock then using a thinner sock to ski in. These are made to have a performance fit so a larger size may help but would be a bit loopy for a race boot.

26.5- 32 Mondo

John,
This is an addtional mounting kit. So if you have a pair of NTN bindings already ..you can buy this kit ( instead of another whole set of bindings) to mount another pair of skis. The Binding Chasis ( main part of binding) Has two screws it slides off and you can slide it on to your other pair of boards ..pretty cool and cost saving .

to enhance UV protection check out this Nikwax Tent Gear and UV prooof it works quite well

http://www.backcountry.com/nikwax-tent-and-gear-solar-proof

so the PCS classic is the original Jetboil. The flash has an upgraded burner, auto ignitor, comes with a fuel stand and has a heat indicator on the cup coozie to indicate that water is coming to a boil.

Yes it does . but it is only a lateral release ..come out from side to side ..you will not come out falling forward. And from my experience it works when it needs to

Scarpa guy here .. the last on this boot is a 102mm ( medium fit ) this measurement is taken at the widest portion of the shell in the foot area. These do have custome liners as well and can be heated and molded to your foot type
If your looking at other models of Scarpa we do have different lasts for different models.

Kathy ,
There metal not plastic

Logan,
The one you tested at the Big Agnes Booth had a pad in it as well. This is just designed to have a pad slipped into it. When we display these usually have a clearview pad r inulated aircore which would make it 3.5 inches thick.

This Base wash is best for next to skin layers. I would not use on outer layers like your cycling Jacket.. as it promotes wicking. For your cycling jacket use tech wash. But for your shorts, shirts , socks it works awesome and get the stink out.

So this would be a good do it all boot for you. If you do decide you want to tele you will have to buy into the NTN system ..which rocks and is getting better every year. I have used with Dynafit and it also works well, but hard to Tele on Dynafit bindings ... there is no resistance/ compression spring when in walk mode so it make it very difficult to Tele .. you would be over the handlebars quite a bit. Hope this helps.. there is also a $100 mail in rebate if you buy a Scarpa boot with an NTN binding but its for this season only.

John ,
These would be good for your foot type. The Kailash GTX would alos be a good option.

So the F3 has a bellows in the front much like a tele boot. That is why it is not compatible with any other AT binding other than Dynafit. The F3 was modeled after our famous racing boot the F1 but is designed to ski downhill better. The F3 is a super efficient touring boot designed for lightweight efficient touring . We have a bunch of speed weenies/ Long Walkers around here in Crested Butte that love this boot. The Spirit 3 however will be bit stiffer for the downhill it wont offer the mobility that the F3 does but is a great comprimise between uphill and downhill performance. Hope this helps.

Tech wash it first .. Rope proof to waterproof it second.

I would try the 44 in a Scarpa , these have a bit more volume than the Evo and more width in the toe box area. I think you will be happy wth that fit.

This boot would be a great option for you , its light warm and stiff all the things your looking for. And if you decide to Ice climb your ready to go. Another option would be the Mont Blanc from Scarpa

Trail weight ( just tent,body, poles ) 11lbs 6oz Packed weight ( the way it comes new .. stakes , warranty cards, plastic wrapping ETC) 11 lbs 15oz

Montana.. true to size is a tricky one not knowing what your size is, if you match up your US size with Euro on the sizing chart you should be good get a good fit.

You should be good to go with a 38 in a Scarpa

yes they will they Zip from the bottom up so the small will be a bit short. Big Agnes also sells double bags The king Solomon is nice for another option.

I would say 1/2 size about 8mm

Short answer on this one is YES !nice and roomy Enjoy .. This one can also be pulled over your Encampment to add about 15 degrees of warmth for winter or colder camping

We do not recommend that you use this boot with a Silveretta Binding or anything that has a heel attchement that stays on the boot while walking . Reason being that these boots have bellows and when the boots flex in walk mode they could potentially release. Dynafit and G3 bindings do not have a fixed heel when walking.

so a question would you consider your self to be a US 10.5 ? if so I would tend to steer you to a 43.5 . Shout back with your US size and we can hone it in for you

So the 26.5 and 27 are the same shell size just diffrent liners. So with you current boots take out the liner place you foot in the shell and slide it all the way forward till your toes are touchig in the front. If you have 3/4 of an inch of space between your heel and shell that is what we call a comfort fit and any more you should go down a shell size. With a skinny foot I would look to have the spacing about a 1/2 inch between heel and shell.. a little less is ok but not too much or your loosing toe nails. Keep in mind that same rule applies with Scarpa if you go to the 25.5 it share the same outer shell as the 26.. again just diffrent sized liners. I would measure your t-race that is the closest you will get to accurate sizing on T1. Hope this helps

Lance..the biggest difference is that this has the Boa tensioning system in the Fly.. in short you can tension the fly from the inside of the tent ..say when it gets condensation or its raining fly nylon can contarct and sag you can stay inside tension the tent to make sure water comes off and you can stay dry and go back to sleep.

Scary man.. Elise is incorrect . These shoes are made in our Italian Factory ..so Italian made.

Scary man.. Elise is incorrect . These shoes are made in our Italian Factory ..so Italian made.

hello there Big Agnes Rep here. Yes you may buy a wedgie for this bag and yes they will Zip together still you may have a buldge at the top where the extra material is it would be best to have them in both bags but not needed. Looks like these guys are out of stock but if you need right away you may order from the Big Agnes website.

Best to use the Nikwax tech wash , front loading Machine . Dry low delicate cycle for about 10 or so minutes and hang dry for the rest.

I think this will be a perfect bag for you . Make sure you order the petite big ASgnes pad to go with it.

They do have Goretex but these are not insulated .

Ryan,
I would go with the cross mountain or Lost dog depending on wht temp range you like. In my opinion the Cross Mountain is going to be the best bet. The cool thing is this can be used as an overbag as well and if pulled over your encampment will add 20 degrees of warmth. It nice and roomy like your encampment also.

So the jetboil is anodized Aluminum and does not have a coating. Very hard to scratch.. same material that is used on Mountain bikes. If it does scratch your not going to get teflon chunkies in you meal.

John,
I have put together many of these tenst and have yet to snap a pole. We use DAC featherlight poles much like a lot of great companies. We do have a pole sleaev in case of an emergency.

John,
Your floor lenght is 90" you should be good. The walls are near vertical and thats what I think your looking for. The floor and fly are very waterproof and the fly is quite durable. It is an ultrlight tent though with Ultralight materials so it does require some tender loving care. If you not worried so much about weight want some more long term durability the Big Agnes Gore Pass is an awesome tent as well.

Jac,
I think you will be surprised at how well these hold up. Hestra does all provide a lifetime warranty.

This is a pretty comfortable pad 2.5 inches thick it will be the most comfortable. you may also adjust the air to make it more or less firm. Thsi may work for you well.

Brock ,
Yes wonky is a good word. Euro size tend to be about a 1/4" gradiant on the 1/2 size if your more like a 14.5 I would consider a 49.

I would think that you would be fine but as for the dog it would be a tight fit. This is also a superlight tent make sure the dogs nails a trimmed or he will tear this thing up. I would suggest a lightweight two person for you and the pooch. Like the Seedhouse SL2, Emerald Mountain 2, Copper Spur 2 these will treat you well as far as space.

well dpnds on what you want. Cloud nine is light due to it fabric leather combo and Waterproof . and looks cool.
The vertical cut is Hestra's best selling glove it is precurved to fit a ski pole constructed of 102 components it is straight up leather no waterproof memebrane which mean you will get better dexterity out of the glove. If you live in a wet place or you hand are n the snow a lot I would choose cloud nine.

New flash has heat indicator on Cozy( glows red when at a full boil) , comes with a fuel stabilizer ( tripod) Burner is slightly modified

this system never fit inside the 1.5 pot. If you already have the Group cooking system you only need the Companion cup unless you want an addtional burner. All previous PCS acessories will fit this stove

Jared,
These are pretty still I would say similar to your Lasportivas . They have a board last and stiff EVA midsole. They do have Vibram sticky rubber and they can also be resoled . They are built on a rock shoe last so they tend to be a bit narrow for precision.

The heat indicator is orange. Also know that the indicator is clear to start and fills in with color which you may be able to determine contarst with that

Roger,
Nikwax Paste/Cream wax works the best for the full grain leather

I think you will find the Nikwax will outlast them all. It has and elastomer based wax.. its stretchy not a flourocarbon which is brittle ( breaks up and comes off) This stuff is also enviromentally friendly ..good for the washer and no big chemical smells.

Crampons are tricky with any boot. Since the TX has bellows like a Tele Boot it is wider around the toe area. Every crampon boot combo i have worked with needs some bending of the bails. I would not use a rigid crampon with these as they have bellows and am sure you know that. I like the Camp super light aluminum crampons they seem to cross over to a variety of boots that I have.

yes and a repair kit

yes you can , it does have a fully rigid outsole which is the same as the Evo, so it not made to go backpacking with but for general Mountaineerin this will work fine.

The pan flux ring sits on top of the element y way of the pot support that you get with this package. And yes it will all fit in the 1.5 liter pot or the Companion cup as long as you buy the 100 gram fuel cans the 230gram are too large to fit.

a little wider but not much this is a womens fit so I will be contoured to a womens foot. Narrow heel

ok i have a couple of Options for you. The lightest would be Charmoz. This one doesn't have insulation but is a climbing machine. That would be lightest and most walkable. Summit GTX would be similar to Lasportiva boots you have and it does have insulation. Freney your looking at is primarily and Ice climbing specific boot. Hope this helps.

Yes it would be durable enough , poles are a little tricky on the hood so I would practice at home setting it up before you go for it with cold hands.
The Event fabric is awesome very breatahble very waterproof.

Brian..Scarpa guy here. Jack had good advice. I would add that you could wait until next season to buy a pair of T-race with Walk mode or if you like Red. But I think you could get yourself a great deal on T-race right now and the walk mode will be available seperately for $60 and you can retrofit next season. One thing I would also add is that the current Race has a wrap style liner , new ones will have a tounged liner. The wrap style will be way better on your navicular problems( no seams over the forefoot). Hope this helps

So those liners are custom moldable with heat. All the liners are molded to the shells in th factory .. usually they indent on the heel to create a pocket. So my fisrt thought is that you use these a lot and two seasons you will see some pack out and the heat created from use and long term summer storage may have tweaked the liners a bit. Also feet change. So what I would do is wash your liners first ! Base wash from Nikwax gets the stink out ! Then bring them to someone that can heat mold your liners for you and get them re-molded to your feet. This should fix your problem and keep you trucking comfortably.

yes this will be a wider fit then the Sportivas but not by much

not clear on Model # 775401 could you send the link that your looking at

question #1 F3 shells are right in the middle (medium width). They also have a heat moldable liner so that does make it easy to customize to your foot.

Question #2 Stiff compared to what ? I would say much stiffer than the F1 yet less than the Spirit 4. I would put it at a 95 flex

To add , I would wash with Nikwax tech wash only this will not ruin the laminate . http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Nikwax-Tech-Wash/NIK0018M.html
Washing alos tends to dry the leather out Hestra does sell leather Balm as well this will recontion the palms and make them feel like new again. Dry at room temp.

I would suggest the Big house 4 from Big Agnes or the Big House 6.

Graham,
Funny I was just out visiting Philmont. Way cool place. This is a great solo tent with gear or a snug 2 person and will work best in three season conditions. Nice and light for those long treks on the scout ranch.

good choice , These are super warm have removable liners so they dry quickly and come with a lifetime warranty. Even warmer is the softshell extreme mitt from Hestra.

It is hard to pin point since everyone has different Metabolisom. I have these Mitt for my daughter we live at 9000ft in Colorado. These seem to keep her hand warms and there are day where we don not get above 0. They do have a windproof waterprook lining so you should be block from those elememts.

Lightweight , and the option to go with a lugged rockered sole ( Rally Sole)

Yes roll on !

Like Mike said thses work with NTN , if your interested in using a Dynafit Binding you could go to the TX pro , It has a walk/ Tour mode works with NTN and also has Dynafit Tech fittings so can be sued as an Alpine Touring boot as well.

Rebecca here you go :
Size 1 ( Toddler 1) Size 2 (Toddler2) size 3 ( youth small) size 5 (Youth Medium) Size 6 Youth Large and size 7 youth Xl. Hope this helps.

I think you were asking if the mittens have finger separations in them. They do not. I have the Raynaud thing as well really sucks these mitts will keep you warm.

They are leather you would have to treat them with Nikwax paste or glove proof to get them weather resistant. Wind proof they are. They are rather warm but it depends on how cold your hand get. I live in Cretsed Butte..gets pretty darn cold here and I pretty much use these year round. Another option would be the Seth Morrison Pro. It is warmer, has a waterproof /windproff membrane.

Being mostly leather you should get decent Arch support , really arch support is best done with a custom footbed or a superfeet style footbed.

This would e a great choice. You may also want the companion cup to go along with this then you will be ready for anything !

The one -size is a typo I believe.

Olga,
These tend to be a medium fit in the womens, if you can find your size in a mens I think you will be good

Has a removable custom heat moldable intuiton liner

Best way to manage moisture is a good sock which I am sure your using ? Try a synthectic sock if your using wool it will wick a whole lot faster

The leather balm is just a conditioner not a waterproofing. i wouldn"t heat the gloves too much room temp is just fine maybe warm the balm up a little to make it easier to apply. This glove does have a waterproof membrane , but to keep the leather palms from soaking out try some Nikwax glove proof.

Gene,
Have used so far so good. They are the Thermic system which is the same folks that have made boot heater for years. the others that failed used diffeent systems. Hestra does have a great warranty policy so if you have problems you can be sure they will take care of it.

Tricky the mediums range from 171-181 and the Large 180-190. I think you would be able to get away with the Medium you will have some tail showing on your larger skis but that should matter since they are twin tipped and the tail doesn't even hit the snow.

Ron ,
the skis have not changed from last year you will have lots of Fun with the Hombre. If your Looking to loose some weight choose the Zen Oxide same ski with a different core to make it lighter.

The 60 will taper , I would go for the Regular 72"

Larry best to have the middel pole to the inside. When you stake the tent out it should go to the ground you also stake out points by where the middle poles go in.

Yes on the front doors. The fly will cover the mesh on the sides for privacy.

Your going to get a lighter tent, more mesh for venting and seeing the stars. And the sidewalls are morevertical giving you more usable space and space to sit up in.

My personal experience with ‘single leather’ mtn boots above 6km is not advisable. If you are ‘fast and light’ you can get away with it in the warmer months/regions, and with the use of liner socks and a vapor barrier. But even then if you get stopped or slowed due to issues you are going to suffer. And in -30 forget keeping your toes if you are forced to spend a night in your boots.

I would bump it up to the Phantom 6k, and the advantage of the removable (hence dryable) liner… and extra warmth. These boots still WAY out perform regular plastic double boots for walking and tech climbing.

These gel tube are concentrated can be used in a machine just use less. Make sure your using Base wash just for undergarmets and wicking layers not outer shells tech wash is the best for that.

David this stove will work with all EPI threaded canisters , MSR, Snowpeak, Jetboil, primus. I would suggest that you buy from Backountry as you will recieve the support from them. Like this information . Ebay is not going to give that to you. These guys at BC are great you should support them. I don't work for them , but a satisfied customer.

cool and air conditioner ! this is a four season tent that body does seal up so this should keep the Cool air in .

Nan,
Kirk The Nikwax rep here. I would agree with washing the tnt in Tech Wash. Then you may treat with te UV proof and you will be good to go.

Yes they will have a similar fit they are both unlined shoes so you should be good the Scarpa's do come Euro Size though. A size 9 us would be 42.

I would suggest the Big House 6 from Big Agnes. Los of space realitively lightweight for your horses.

Matt it does not , the bindings do come with instructions though.

Glenn,
G3 does make a solid probe that you can get to that length however it is heavy (made for industrial use )not some thing that you want to be carrying everyday.

Charmoz does have a more rigid sole but smears just fine. The upper is not as rigid , and has flex zones in the ankle area. You alos realy like the weight , its really light for the type of boot.

Cassie,
This would be a close fit to the Nitro that you had. I would also suggest the Scarpa Zen if Goretex is not a concern.

Jacob,
These are more of a Medium fit. if your really wide they are probaly going to be a little tight for you.

Igor. I would agree and disagree with Vern. All compressed cartride canisters loose efficency in colder temps because the rely on outside ambient heat to create the Chemical reaction inside the fuel canister. If you traveling abroad you have no choice but to use a canister stove as Airlines will not let you take Liquid fuel stoves on the plane. Liuid fuel stoves leave residual fuel in the line where compressed fuel stoves do not. the trick to the cartridge stove is to keep the canister warm in a jacket or sleeping bag before use and when in use make sure they are nsulated from the ground with a foam pad or such. The PCS have been on the top of everest K2 and many more. Another option is the jetboil Helios which inverts the canister which helps with this issue. Hope this helps.

too tight , Canister will fit if you lookin to keep it warm.

You would be pushing it with a Squirrel. However small rodents like Mice , Voles and if you wanted to mix it up Bats.

The Jetboil stove is the perfect stove for Beans and Rice it was practically made for it !

The natural organic even with benzoic Acid should work fine without damagig the Nylon. Its the deet that you need to be concerned with as it melts nylon. The only thing with oil base repellents as they may collect dirt over time and gunk up the zipper , if you clean your tent everyonce in awhile you should be good to go.

Not likely it will fit, although the 1.5 litere pot that Jetboil makes i have heard works ok.

I have about a b width foot which is medium to narrow. I think the Scarpas would be a good fit for you foot type. Depending on what your looking for my Picks SLM3 for heavy duty backpacking, Mustang GTX or Kalash Gtx for a more mid duty lightwieght backpacking boot.

Yes it can , but you will definately need to take the neoprene cozy off of the pot ( it will melt if flames get to it) the flux ring is durable enough for sure.

The sleeve is only mean for two utensils, howver if yoy have the Frypan it will fit underneath the plate on the bottom. You just need to center it in the middle of the fluxring and snap on the plate.

Ok I will do the best to explain this. Sounds like you figured out the two clips on the front, so the cord lock slides through the attachment point ( loop) on the tent this will allow you to adjust the hieght of the gear loft by sliding the cord lock back and forth. Hope this helped.

Tim,The T2 is an older model if its dark blue, The T2X has been around now for about 4 years and is red. The conversion for a Men's 8.5 is 25.5 mondo.

Liza the new T2x is definately going to be stiffer than the previous model. If your a hair smaller than a 22.5 keep in mind that you will jump a whole shell size down (21.5-22 are the same shell). this may be too small for you, you want to have 1/2 to 3/4 inch space between your heel and the back of the shell when the liners are out, toes touching the front of the shell.

I find that Katanas have a fiar bit of stretch 1 1/2 to 2 sizes they are also a flatter lasted shoe. The rockette is definately more agreesive and wont strecth as much 1/2 to 1 size at the most.

We also make a ski called the aviatrix for women which is the same shape as the baron but comes in smaller lenghts, you may also like the Viva Ski. Its a bit wider so you wil have better float in the powder. My wife is around the same height and weight and skis on a 166.

The G3 saint is an awesome pick for what your looking for. This is based on the Reverend shape but a pound lighter.Holds up well in the area and is nice and light for the hoof uphill. I currently ski a size 177 in this model i am the same weight and Height, we also make a 182 if you want to go a bit longer.

actually this is one of the rectangle bags. thermarest will fit.make sure that the Therma rest is 20" in width and 78" in lenght for long 72" for a regular

This bag has a similar closure to the Yampa as it does not have a hood. However the span at the neck is a bit tighter so its going to cinch up easier and tighter.Hope this helps

Kevin, for your size and weight I would go for the 177. I am 5'9 155 and this is what i ski. I would not go any shorter than that. These are awesome skis you will pleased.

They work in alpine bindings, but you should probably get alpine boots if you're just skiing alpine. AT stands for Alpine Touring, which means that the heel detaches so you can hike up, and the boots in turn sacrifice some of their stiffness to be lighter and easier to hike in. If you're not going to be hiking, get alpine boots.You may also want to look at the Domina from Scarpa this has all the attributes of an alpine boots IE : Din compatible sole. But is comfortable and has a walk mode for touring , and just makes the boot comfortable all around

The Mustang is slightly taller and stiffer than the Kailash.

I do not believe this is fritschi, naxo, duke compatible (David just cross checked with the Scarpa website - only compatible with Dynafit TLT bindings.)This is correct all of the Scarpa Bellow style AT boots will not work with anything but dynafit as they can back flex and pop out of the heel.

Either one would be a good choice but I'd go with the Kailash because of the Gore-Tex lining. It's a better boot for it's waterproof qualities.

It is actually a place to either stuff your clothing in to make a pillow or Big Agnes sells a pillow to slide into that spot.

Hello I have some experience with this tent. I would say you may be tight with 7 kids and you may not be sleeping to well with everyone in the same tent. You may want to try 2 pine Island 4 tents this will get you around the weight you need and you can split the load up and make your older childern sherpa the load.

Hello Scarpa guy here. I woud say the Phantom lite warmest, second summit GTX, third Freney Gtx. Hope this helpsK
