I'd go with the Zion...just my personal opinion, its a solid jacket and sounds exactly like what you are looking for..

Yes, regular will do just fine.

Yes, that is correct.

It would work fine for during the summer, may be a little warm with the GoreTex but they'll be fine.

Yup, I have and there is no problem with it, they fit perfectly.

You can clean it...but dirt will probably still show on it after time. I'd recommend a darker color unless you just plan to wear it around town.

Yes, my parents have one for theirs and it fits fine.

To be honest I don't think these do at all. If you want a bag that will zip together well a mummy style probably won't be the most comfortable. Go with more of a rectangular style bag. These are definitely solid bags either way though!

Most marmot tents will come with a set of extra tie down lines.

Neither. You need to buy the footprint separately...which is completely worth it, I think its about $30. As for a loft, it doesnt come with one, but this tent has allot of pockets to where you probably dont need one. If ya still want one though, I think they sell one separately.

Im the same...Medium.

You should be fine with the size you normally wear, patagonia shells will be a bit roomy since they are gonna be an outer layer anyways.

Yes, it does.

I've got a pair of the BD Mercury mitt and if she is just planning on using them for the slopes they should be PLENTY!! The Zenta's are great too...just pricy. It is Arc'teryx though, but if you don't want to spend that much, the BD Mercury is awesome!!

Medium. I'm the same and these fit perfectly in Medium.

-50?? Go with Mountain Hardwear or Marmot expedition weight down parka...with a hood!

That really depends on what kind of setup you plan on using when ascending with your ascenders. The most common way would work best with two different lengths.

Salomon generally runs true to size...if anything they may be a bit more snug than your typical running shoe but the size is true.

Personaly...I'd go with the Variant. I've had experience with both Osprey and Deuter and so far Osprey has been my go to for packs...period! As far as compressing down to a daypack size, both will probably do about the same. The Varient is a pretty specific type pack though, more of a climbing/alpine pack so keep that in mind.

Yes. Now I say that based on the bear canisters that I have seen and used(which come in different sizes). But yeah, as long as its not one of the crazy big ones for a group it'll fit no problem.

Never used these trail runners specificly but I've always used trail runners (Salomon, montrail, etc) for backpacking/hiking. They work great and you feel much lighter on your feet obviously. I highly recommend a trail runner for backpacking.

MontBell tends to have bags with a bit of a stretch to them...I can't say the same for stoic except that they are a solid brand. Its a mummy style bag either way so its not gonna be crazy roomy. You should be fine with either one, just pick which ever temp ya need and go with that one.

Get the same size then. Unless you are wearing wool socks(which I'd actually recommend highly), then they should be pretty true to fit. Plus if they are the wrong size, just exchange them, free of charge.

If I were you, I'd definitely go with something warmer and more wind resistant for temps that cold. I recommend the Peak Performance BL down jacket or the Marmot Ama Dablam jacket. An even better option would be a parka style jacket. If you really like this one, just make sure you buy a heavy wieght fleece or softshell for a midlayer.

That depends...are you prone to cold feet? If so, go with a double boot, they will be heavier but will also be warmer, and you can change out the inner boot to what meets your needs. If you aren't, then these should do just fine! I personally am bias towards La Sportiva's, but Scarpa is a solid brand as well.

If you go to GoPro's website they will have a list of what is included in the outdoor edition...you really shouldn't need anything else with this kit to be honest, its a great buy!!

It should fit just fine. It doesn't look like it has adjustable torso length but you should be fine. The nice thing about getting it at backcountry is that once you get it, if ya don't like it, return it!! No questions asked!

If you like a sturdy boot for extended backpacking, this is probably the best youll get. The nice thing about salomon is that even when it comes to their boots, they are light!! Now as far as high altitude, if you are looking for warmth...these won't have much. Really depends on the type of temps you are going to be in. Definitely a solid boot though!

More blue.

This tent does not have a fly, it is a single walled 4 season tent. If you are looking for a tent with a lighter option I'd recommend a two wall three season tent.

Personally, I'd recommend the Spantik's...they are somewhat newer and seem to have better ratings overall. I also just happen to REALLY like La Sportiva as a brand, and thats from personal first hand use.
As far as attaching gaiters...they should attach the same way, you may just want to order them a size bigger.

Just a difference in the picture, not an actual difference when it comes to length.

I have a pack from camelbak that is 400cubic inches and I use it for the same purpose, so I'd say this one should work just fine for that.

Well, attatching another jacket means that the shell has an extra set of zippers on the inside along with some clips in the sleeves and usually behind the neck so that you are able to zip an insulating layer(fleece) into the shell. As far as sizing goes, I've had a couple columbia brand jackets and they are pretty true to size. Im 6ft 180lbs and the Medium fits me. As far as waterproofing goes...I've always been a strong believer in GORE-TEX...but, if you don't have the budget for it, thats ok, I just havn't found anything that quite compares to GORE-TEX yet though when it comes to waterproofing. But if you are just gonna be out in some rain and snow without rubbing wet gear, rocks, and packs all over it you should be just fine with this. Hope that all answers your questions!

Depends...if its made of cotton, or at least 40% or more cotton, it'll shrink. If not, it won't at all.

If I were you I'd go with the 10. I've had several DC boots including these and they all fit the same.

35lbs is the top recommended comfortable weight capacity, but it can carry up to about 45lbs.

Camelbak...all the way.

Camelbak has a pretty wide variety of sizes when it comes to thier bladders...just find one thatll fit, Im sure they'll have one.

It should be fine, it'll fit somewhat close to the same as the Theta jacket. XXL should be perfect.

Any North Face shells that are zip-in compatable.

Mountain hardwear does not have a "scooped section like that. The only packs that I've used that have an intentional section like that for being able to look up while wearing a helmet would be Osprey packs. And if you are gonna go with a pack this large(6400cu in), Id go with Osprey(or Gregory) anyways because they seem to have better packs when it comes to large capacity. Mountain hardwear is better with mid sized to small technical packs. Hope that answers your question.

It may work...but if I were you I'd go with a jacket that just insulates period, like a mountain hardwear parka or north face nuptse. These jackets will do a better job as far as insulating goes. This way, youll have: Baselayer, windjacket/fleece, softshell, shell, and then if needed, heavy insulator.

They do...but if you want an even better narrow fitting boot, go with the La Sportiva Olympus Mons Evo. This boot is AMAZING and in my opinion a much better narrow fitting boot, as well as a better brand of boot.

I posted the answer to this question on your other question, linked to the Hestra Heli Mitten.

Ive used both mittens, and to be honest, Ill never go with anything but Black Diamond when it comes to mittens. The most recent time that I used mine was in Colorado snowboarding, actual temp on the mountain was 3 degrees with a wind chill of -15 degrees, I wore the mercury mittens solo and had no problem with keeping my hands warm. If you don't think these would be warm enough, go with Black Diamond's absolute mitten...theres no way you'll have cold hands with these ever, they are expedition wieght mittens.

S/M = 3.9lbs.....M/L = 3.13lbs.

Well, the nice thing about the venture is that it has pit zips...when its raining and sticky out, these are AMAZING!! If money is an issue though, id say go with the resolve, the pit zips are really the only difference between these two, and the resolve is 15% off right now. And as far as size goes...if the Medium fits, itll fit with either jacket, so go with a Medium.

Well, that depends on what you want to do with the boot...what are your plans as far as use of the boot?

Yes, as long as you have it placed towards the front to where the rear hatch will clear it.

Yes. If you look under the "Options" tab on the left above the price...there is a small Icon that says "size" with a question mark next to it.

Hi Paul, these boots actually are NOT waterproof at all. If you are looking for a waterproof boot I would go with one that has GORE-TEX lining...this type of boot will have 100% waterproofness...whereas this boot here does not, although it will be extremely breathable.

North Vancouver, BC.

It should be in the Adidas specs for how the jackets fit. It look like they have Chest at: 36.7-37.8...Waist at: 31.9-33.1...and Hip at: 37.4-38.6. Other than that you may have to go to Adidas website to get more specs.
