Sea To Summit Xtl Sleeping Bag: 19 Degree Down
August 8, 2012
Id say if you go Sea to Summit, it seems they run a little shorter, so I might stick with regular. I own the 19 Degree (long at 6'1"), and I have owned Marmot 800-fill down bags. Sea to summit is of much higher quality, unquestionably. The Nanoshell technology seems to do its job, my bag stays drier than others without a waterproof shell, as well as being highly breathable. The degree level is up to you; they both have the same feature set.

Arc'teryx Alpha LT Jacket - Men's
July 22, 2012
I have a few questions about this jacket compared to the Theta SV. Will these two fit the same, besides back length? Does this jacket have a drop tail? Would the pit zips be the same length? Do the inside pockets have the same volume (big enough to hold skins?) Does this have the upper elastic cord in the pockets? Does the hood have all the same adjustments? It says it does but I don't see any adjustment cords in the pictures. Anything else I should know thats different between the two jackets?

I believe that will actually be more like 6-13 in US sizes, European sizes have smaller increments to allow for more sizes.

Osprey Packs Variant 52 Backpack - 2990-3356cu in
January 13, 2012
The Arrakis 50 is a completely waterproof bag, and twice the price of the Variant 52. If the temps will be below freezing the whole time, which I'm guessing they would be in Norway during the winter, so the waterproof aspect would probably be unneeded. The Variant is probably the right choice.
Hope this helps.

The North Face Point Five Jacket - Men's

This is an uninsulated technical shell, so it will provide little to no warmth, but great protection from the elements. Try a down or synthetic insulated jacket.
Hope this helps.

Voile Splitboard Climbing Skins
December 14, 2011
Just got these skins, and took them out for the first time yesterday. It was my first time splitboarding, and I don't ski, so it was the first time I had used skins at all. I had them cut by a shop, and when I went to take them out of the bag at the start of the run, they had been stuck glue on glue and were somewhat difficult to separate. My friend told me that storing them glue on glue was bad for the skins, and would eventually ruin the glue, however some of the reviews Ive read seem to indicate otherwise. I lost the tag with instructions, so I wanted to make sure I am doing the right thing while storing.
So, a) how should I store at room temp? With cheat sheets? glue on glue? Roll it up?
b) same question but for alpine conditions?
c) anything else you think I might need to know about storage
Thanks, Ian

Stoic Bertol Guide Softshell Pant - Men's
November 30, 2011
Actually, the Stoic Bertol Guide Pants utilize a different Schoeller material, however I'm not quite sure which one. The difference can be seen in the compositions of the Schoeller materials: (94% Nylon, 6% Spandex) for the Bertol Guide, whereas (73% Nylon, 18% Polyester, 9% Spandex) for the backcountry.com tour se.
As for insulation, it says the lining is midweight, so think a midweight pair of long underwear. The backcountry.com tour se does not have any form of insulation. The only other difference is weight, as far as I can tell comparing the specs. The backcountry.com tour se weighs 6oz more.
I may be wrong, as I own neither of these pants, so feel free to correct me if you know otherwise. I would also appreciate someone from BC chiming in, as they would probably be able to give a better explanation than me.
Hope this helps.

Marmot Ama Dablam Down Jacket - Men's
November 2, 2011
The Marmot Stockholm, Mountain Hardwear Hunker Down Jacket, and Montbell Frostline Parka would all be excellent choices, all around $250. The Montbell, however has the highest quality down and is probably the best for the money, but you may like the other ones better. I just love Montbell Down products, as does everybody who owns one.
Hope this helps.

MontBell Alpine Light Down Parka - Men's
October 29, 2011
This is more of a technical jacket, geared towards backpacking as it uses much thinner materials then casual wear down jackets would use. The Marmot Stockholm, Mountsin Hardwear Hunker Down Parka, or Montbell Frost Line Down Parka would be two great alternatives. Either way, Montbell Down products ROCK!!
Hope this helps.

The North Face Blue Ridge Paclite Jacket - Men's

A medium would be more of a slim fit, whereas the large would be better if you will be using this in cold temps/need to layer. However, THF does have more generous sizing than most. It really just comes down to personal preference.
Hope this helps.

You are going to want a board with a waist width of probably 265mm or 26.5cm...most boards that come in wide sizes will meet this requirement. The dark series wide and skunk ape wide are two great boards by lib tech to consider in this price range.

Arc'teryx Gamma SK Softshell Pant - Men's
September 18, 2011
I'm trying to find a nice pair of softshell pants for this season at Mt. Baker. I am a snowboarder, and need a pair of pants for those days when 3L Pro Shell isn't needed. I am looking for a quite breathable, yet still wind and weather resistant pair of pants for hiking, skinning, spring conditions, etc. What is my best option? I'm lost with the differences in fabrics and such. Hopefully they won't cost more than $300, but if its worth the price I'm willing to pay. Thanks for any insight into my dilemma .
