I do not own it..but from what I have read here, and elsewhere..it is a mantle-less lantern. I was wrong. I just watched a video showing the replacement of them. I thought they were mantless lanterns, but unfortunately not.######################Actually it does have a mantle, if you check out www.primuscamping.com you can buy them there. Its not a stiff mantle, you pre-burn them just like you would with a Colman.

Why don't you wait till he tries it on and find out?Dustin- I am the size you say your boyfriend is, and I would have gone with a Medium as well. I'm sure he'll love it!

It has a small hip belt, but not padded, I do not think it will hold 50-60 lbs comfortablyDustin- as they said it is NOT padded. They do have one which is large and has a padded belt. It is called the Sealline Pro Pack. Backcountry link - http://www.backcountry.com/store/CAS0579/SealLine-Pro-Pack-115-Dry-Bag.htmlImage showing the padded waist belt - http://www.seallinegear.com/pro_pack_large.html

I answered this question below, but they no longer have them on Backcountry.com. I know that my local Walmart carries them, also I'm sure any local outdoor store will carry them.

No they don't, sorry.

According to Suunto, there are only 4 straps that fit the D4, they come in black/yellow, black/blue, black/pink, and the traditional all black. None of which are avaiable currently on Backcountry.com. A Google search for "Suunto D4 Strap" will bring up the straps I mentioned.

These goggles with work with all helmets, but if for some strange reason they don't work with yours, you can always return them.

The photo makes it look small, but 1460cu inches is plenty big enough for most people. You should easily be able to fit your laptop(depending on screen size) and a few books/notebooks water bottle and anything else small you may need.

I'm fairly sure that the ones that show a Sport Top, come with the Sport Top, and ones showing the normal Screw Tops, come with the Screw Top. Mine showed screw top and that's what I received.

I own a few Sigg water bottles and I personally think there is no reason to buy any other brand, they are perfect. You rarely see a bad review for Sigg, and after only a minute of looking I see multiple people unsatisfied with their Gaiam bottles, mostly dealing with difficulty with cap, and leaking. Gaiam makes so many different products, unlike Sigg, who specializes in this field. Not to mention that Sigg has many different designs to best suit your style and personality. Spends the few extra dollars, and buy quality.

Yes, according to a Backcountry.com Gear Tech it is in fact made in China.

No. This holds 8 more ounces, so it's bigger.-------The Sigg 1L obviously holds 1L (33.8oz), and the Backcountry Klean Kanteen 40oz bottle(also says its 1.14L, which is actuality 38.5oz). So the Backcountry Klean Kanteen holds between 4.7oz and 6.2oz more than the Sigg 1L, depending on what numbers you look at.

I only know of one stainless steal water bottle with a 63mm threaded cap, it isn't available on Backcountry, but you can easily find it though a search on Google. It is made by the company Guyot.Here is one site where it is available: http://www.tahoemountainsports.com/store/guyot-backpacker-stainless32.shtml?gdftrk=gdfV2276_a_7c322_a_7c1863_a_7c1983&avad=932_f31e0d

If your son isn't 'beating the tar' out of it, or riding in subzero temperatures, the clip should withstand most normal wear and tear.

6 AAAs. Read the Tech Specs.---------------There are 6 AAAs included with the lights.

There's a Rack Configurator on the main rack listing page, use that to figure out what you need.----------------------Here's the direct link Greg, but first you will need to know if your hitch mount accepts a 1 1/4" or 2" hitch: http://www.yakima.com/Consumer/Step1.aspx

The one we purchased for me girlfriend was very true to the Merrell sizing chart. If your arm length(measured from middle of back to wrist while arms are outstretched to your side) is between 31-31.5in a M should suffice. http://www.backcountry.com/store/sizingchart.html?sizing_id=634&sku=MER0188&pg_id=205&subcat_id=42&cat_id=12

Although I don't have a precise answer for you, they do not say on any site I was able to find, including Merrell.com, sorry, but I must say it is incredibly light! I would say its hard to believe that its even over a pound, you can barely tell you are holding onto it, no joke. With this jacket, weight will not be an issue.

If you are asking what I think you are, and I'm not quite that I am, but, The 'All Black' is an All Black Watch with White Numbers and White inlay on the Hour and Minute Hands.--------------That was Way too Much Capitalization.--------I was obviously trying to emphasize the portion of my answer which most precisely answered Carls question. But non-the-less we thank you for your very valuable input Angus.

While is MIGHT just happen to fit, I doubt it. I know they don't sell the replacement filter for the Bota Outback here in Backcountry, but you can find it elsewhere easily, plus the Bota filter is cheaper than the McNett.

yes, if you remove the white 'tube joiner'

The dakine baker backpack claims to have a insulated hydration sleve...so yes.

yes, considerably high. If you look at the womens version you are able to see what it looks like fully zipped. http://www.backcountry.com/store/BCC0180/Backcountry-Siphon-Wool-Hooded-Jacket-Womens.htmlof course the cut is different.

No, no lining.

Sorry I am unable to answer that part of your question. But have you tried going to their site, specifically their sizing page..http://www.sportiva.com/products/sizing.phpor going to this link, and entering your State and seeing if there's a retailer in your area...http://www.sportiva.com/dealers/index.phpHope it helps.

Alexng - yes or noDustin - Colman suggested use is for "Outdoor Use Only"...so no, I wouldn't use indoors.

I do not believe that this kit comes with the adapter compatible with most kyocera phones. According to Solio.com the one adapter for Kyocera is this onehttp://store.solio.com/s.nl/it.A/id.163/.fCheck to see if your phone is on that list. Good luck.

Yes there is a zoom on the Halogen light. Zoom is on the Right side of the light while wearing it, and the on/off is on the left while the user is wearing it.Might I add, if you are going to spend $100, throw in the extra $50 for the Petzl Duobelt LED 14..http://www.backcountry.com/store/PTZ0186/Petzl-Duobelt-LED-14-Headlamp.html

That sounds very ambitious. I hope for your sake that it works. The largest one they sell on Backcountry is this onehttp://www.backcountry.com/store/BRU0200/Brunton-Solaris-52-Solar-Panel.htmlby Brunton Solaris. It measures 50 x 31.5in and has an output of 52 Watts at 12V in direct sunlight. Not sure how that would do on a vehicle. Best of Luck

Yes it is. If you zoom in on image you can see Input: 120V

Since you didn't specify a year, you can go here.http://www.yakima.com/Consumer/Step1.aspxBut no, I don't think you use Mighty Mounts for that type of vehicle.

If I'm not mistaken, you need the Horizontal Might Mounts, not Vertical. More specifically you need the "Yakima MightyMount 25H" which is also available on Backcountry.com at this link.http://www.backcountry.com/store/YAK0078/Yakima-Horizontal-Mighty-Mount-Set-of-4.htmlTo double check you can enter your vehicle information here at Yakima.com....http://www.yakima.com/Consumer/Step1.aspx

Not 100% possitive, but I think you need a 30pin connector for your shuffleOne of these..http://www.powermax.com/parts/show/a-fas-app-6592?utm_source=Google%2BProduct%2BSearch&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=Google%2BProduct%2BSearch&src=gthis one might work....http://www.wennow.com/dynex--30pin-dock-adapter-for-apple-ipod-shuff30.htmland then you would also have to get a Bluetooth Adapter, one of these...http://www.shopcell.com/Apple_iPod-iPod_Shuffle-Bluetooth_Adapter-Shuffle89147J.htmlSo it is going to cost you between $20-$40+ shipping. Might want to double check to make sure its compatible with your model(2nd Gen, 3rd Gen, ect), or at least make sure places you order from have as good of return polices as Backcountry.com! Good luck.

If you like it, get it, if its your style it'll work for you; whatever you ride. But, if you really want an answer, I'd say its more of a ski inspired helmet.

Suunto watches are made for outdoors and rugged weather. I would say the plastic band would hold up beautifully in the shower, ocean and while working out. As for the scratch resistant face, I would say no, from what I read it is Mineral crystal glass which isn't the best at resisting scratches. Might I add this is a nice watch, if I had the cash to spare I'd be all over it! May I recommend which I would get. On Suuntos site they say you can make your own "Military' version, I think it would look best of any of the above, here's what they say...."Core Military Edition? Despite what you may have heard, be aware that there is no factory-produced 'Military' version of the Suunto Core. You can, however, create your own 'Military' Core! Here's how: What you'll need: * One Suunto Black-Orange Core wristop * One Flat Black Elastomer Suunto Core Accessory Strap with LugsHow to do it: 1. Remove the orange strap from the Core watch 2. Replace the silver 'pins' in the Flat Black Accessory Strap with the black ones from the orange strap 3. Install the black strap (with black pins) on the Core body 4. Sit back and savor the stealth "This is what it would look like.http://www.suuntowatches.com/assets/product_images/alternate/300/102493CALLBLACK-1.jpgSorry if I overdid the answer.

I don't know for sure, Nixon NEVER says, not even on their website, whether they have luminescent hands or not, but the ones I have seen in person always do, as well as in good photos they appear to be, so I would say yes. But don't hold me to it.

That's really unfortunate Carol, I can definitely see how that could get annoying day in and day out! I don't know how much help I'm going to be, but I will try! I hope these are the type of bindings you have, because there are many different types made by Tubbs alone. The first thing that should go without saying is just pull the backstrap as tight as you can get it! The only thing I can think of doing, if the snowshoes themselves are failing you, is to fix it yourself, and what I mean is take a shoelace or small piece of rope, and tie a Larks Head knot around the backstrap(http://www.geospectra.net/kite/knots/knot09.jpg) and then take the ends and bring them around to the front of your boot(or even rap them around a few times) and tie them in the front. Might not be pretty, and may be a pain, but it should help keep it up during your hike. I hope you figure something out, best of luck!

Without knowing your style its isn't an easy job. But I will give it a shot. Its tough, not many XXL jackets available here.This jacket isn't bad, perhaps not my style, but the price is unbeatable if you are on a budget, plus it should be plenty warm! And they have it available in XXL.http://www.backcountry.com/store/BUR2189/Burton-Arctic-Jacket-Mens.htmlThe colors aren't as plane as you were hoping for, but also give this one a look, http://www.backcountry.com/store/BUR2206/Burton-GMP-Esquire-Jacket-Mens.htmlThis one is Mocha isn't bad in my opinion(Id get these along with the Mocha pants i talk about later)http://www.backcountry.com/store/BUR2190/Burton-Defender-Jacket-Mens.htmlAnd as for pants..the ones above come in XXL in black, should be good and you seriously cant beat the price.If you are into matching the last jacket I showed you, in Mocha, it would go great with this, and the whole deal would only cost you $271.92 for the entire package, I don't know about you, but I like brown, and that's a serious deal for Burton.http://www.backcountry.com/store/BUR2202/Burton-Cargo-Pant-Mens.htmlI really hoped this helped, have a good time snowboarding with your daughter! I wish you could let me know what you think, ha

You have to pay for the return shipping yourself Lucille. If you are returning them for say, a different size or color, you'll still have to pay for return shipping, but they will pay to ship the new ones back to you. More info can be found at:

I don't blame you, I HATE wearing watches, haven't had one in a decade. If I were suddenly to change my opinion on watches, I'd probably get this one, the All Black one is good looking. As to your second part of the question, I'm sorry, i don't understand what you are asking.

Yes Anna they do. I believe Nixon, as most modern watch makers, use Luminova to make the hands glow in the dark after being exposed to visible light. Although I don't own it myself, and their site does not state this to be true, from the photo I would say this is so.

They have quite a few First Aid packs here on Backcountry, but after looking them over i would say this is the 'next step down'Name: Adventure Medical Fundamentals First Aid KitPrice: $85.99Link: http://www.backcountry.com/store/AMK0028/Adventure-Medical-Fundamentals-First-Aid-Kit.html

It will hold skis for sure. It claims to hold skis diagonally(in the link below, it shows they are ALMOST vertical). So when it says diagonally it seems to mean a few degrees off axis. As for ski boots too..not inside of the pack, but I don't doubt that you can find a way to rig them to the pack, or strap them together and around your skis, but that would of course put considerably weight on your back.http://lonelyplanet.altrec.com/servlets/iris/38962/jpeg/DAK/3/

Nope, sorry.

If I'm not mistaken, its 164 across the board for sizes and colors.

They sure do. Strangely, if you look at what appears to be the exact same jacket on BackcountryOutlet.com it has extra photos, and a closeup of the front pockets. http://www.backcountryoutlet.com/outlet/CWX0074/CW-X-ElementX-Jacket-Mens.html?CMP_ID=SH_FRO002&CMP_SKU=CWX0074&mv_pc=r126#

From what i can tell, not a whole tell of a lot considering its $30 more. Tjere are only two differences U can find from comparing the two is that the Greenwich has a felt The North Face logo, and the Half Dome(which is no longer for sale on backcountry) is screen printed. The other is it says the cuff of the Greenwich is '3x3 rib at cuffs and hem' while the Half Dome is 1x1, whatever that means. I own the Half Dome, and its one of the best hoodys I've ever owned, extremely soft, heavyweight, and warm. I'm not the biggest fan of The North Face, but this hoody gets it right.

I would say go Large. As I said down below I am about 5'11, 175lbs myself, and medium is plenty comfortable for me. If you are above a 36 inch waist, or a 42 in chest, I would probably go with a large. Hope that helps.I am judging this on 5 Marmot coats I own. One being last years model of the Marmot Mountain Down Jacket.

DakkaGuru - Weighs 2.45 lbs. No stuff sack but bag can compress to a decent size to fit in your pack. Dustin- It doesnt say anything about a stuff sack on backcountry or marmot.com, but neither did last years Marmot Mountain, but it DID come with one. I would say yes, but I could be wrong.

Jeff - I'd order the large size mainly for what you're wearing underneath. What you don't need is a constricting outer down jacket..Dustin- Id have to disagree, I am the same size as you JK, and I own last years Marmot Mountain, and I would suggest a Medium, as it is what I own. I live in cold temperatures, easily 10 below throughout the winter, and rarely have to layer, its seriously that warm. But when layering is a factor, this jacket has plenty of room for multiple layers, a medium is not small by any means. Hope this helps.

agreed, not going to happen...I do own the Marmot Mountain Down Jacket, still available on some sites. It has some serious warm, as well as a massive hood, you could probably fit a helmet underneath. Also it has the added feature of the reinforced shoulders and elbows via canvas type material. Hope that helps.

If you are anywhere near my body type; almost 6 foot and about 165lb, get a M, which i would have. I went for the small by recommendations of others, and it was very short, almost above the belt after washing. Best of luck.

I have a 23" head circumference, and the S-M first perfectly. Hope that helps a little.

I was wondering the same thing. The answer is yes...INSTA-CLIP 2 Accordion Tube MANTLE #95, 2PKFits lantern models:2000, 2500, 2600Info found here... http://www.coleman.com/coleman/parts/Productimage2.asp?product_id=mantle

Not much at all. They have them here on Backcountry.com for $4.95 for a 2 pack.http://www.backcountry.com/store/CMN0104/Coleman-Insta-Clip-2-Accordion-Tube-Shape-Mantles-2-pk.html
