Decent bag, with major shortfalls

The North Face Chugach 14 Backpack - 850cu in

The North Face Chugach 14 Backpack - 850cu in

Rating for this product: 3 December 9, 2008

The Chugach is a decent bag with some pretty nice features. Hydration sleeve is well designed and the pack is decently comfortable even on a chairlift, but it is only very good on-piste or in the sidecountry.

Unfortunately, the ski carrying is system (and everything else) is limited by size. Any ski wider than 90mm or so will not fit in the ski carrying system. I have Volkl Mantras and they don't even come close to fitting. Also, snowboard straps will piss off most skiers as they get in the way of fully opening the bag. Also, expect to fit only goggles, gloves, a midlayer, hydration, and some personal items. This bag is very small.

I have had problems in the past with bags that only fit narrower skis; how wide is the ski carrying loop on this?

Dynafit ZZeus TF-X Ski Boot - Men's

November 29, 2008

How long does it take to change the outsoles? Is it reasonably fast that I could do it between ascent/descent? Or is it a night-before type activity?

Dynafit ZZeus TF-X Ski Boot - Men's

November 29, 2008

The ZZeus TF-X has, as most high performance boots do, a narrow last, narrower than the BD Factor. I have a narrow foot, so I found it relatively comfortable. I tried both the BD Factor and ZZeus, and I have weird feet, but I found slightly more toebox room and less instep room in the Dynafits than in the BDs. Hope this was helpful.

The North Face Arctic Jacket - Girls'

October 14, 2008

Ounce for ounce, down insulation is warmer. But there are other benefits to synthetic insulation, for example it dries much more quickly than down and is also much cheaper for how much insulation you're getting.
