Hestra Seth Morrison Pro Model Glove

1 day ago

Hestra sizing is in Inches, so the difference between a 7 and 11 is 4 inches. You will want to measure from the bottom of you palm to the top of your middle finger and then you will have you size.

Lib Technologies T. Rice MTX Snowboard

2 days ago

The T-Rice and the Custom are relatively the same as far as stiffness. The T-Rice is a little wider. I would recommend getting the same size or relatively close though. You don't want to play around too much with that.

Answer to: "Is this bike available in a 3 ring set for 30 gears total? "

Pinarello Galileo Ultegra Road Bike

July 27, 2008

No it is now, only 2 ring.

Most road bikes are going to a compact-double design and shying away from having a triple front chainring. It decreases weight, and almost any gear ranges that you need are available in a 34-50T crankset and 11-23 cassette.

Burton Mint Snowboard Boot - Women's

July 27, 2008

For starters, are you looking for mens or womens? A womens 13 is going to be hard to come by, if at all. You will have to get about a mens 11.5 if that is the case. Next, you can call us or Livechat us and we can help you out with boot selection.

Montrail Streak Trail Running Shoe - Women's

July 14, 2008

These are lightweight and may not endure 4 hours of strenuous running. Salomon tends to run the widest amongst running shoes.
--------------------------
Montrails are known to have a narrow heel, fit snug through the mid-foot, and have a wide toe box. I ran two hours in these today and they were great. It was my body that was suffering.. not my feet! If you need a protective shoe with posting to help with pronation look towards the Hardrock. If you want a softer, light trail shoe.. these are perfect. Hope this helps!
