Deuter Cruise 26 SL Backcpack - Women's - 1600cu in

August 4, 2011

How long is the actual frame of this pack? From the Deuter website, I see the dimensions are 23"x11"x8". This is slightly longer than most airlines allow as carry ons. Is there any chance I can get a pack that isn't filled completely through airline security by squishing down the top a bit? Thanks!

Best Boots for Antarctic Conditions

Sorel Glacier Boot - Women's

Sorel Glacier Boot - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 July 23, 2011

These boots truly are the best. I have worn them everyday for the last nine months at the South Pole. They are tough, warm, and stable. Most boots you find down here at the end of the world (bunny boots, FDX boots) are ankle-breakers and lack traction. My Sorels are a cut above. They have kept me warm through our frigid temps (-10F to -100F) without issues. On the coldest days when I'm planning on standing around outside I add foot warmers, but otherwise they are great. After 9 months of solid use well below freezing, the rubber uppers of the boots have cracked, but they are still as warm as the first day I used them. I'm planning on buying another pair once I'm off the Ice and headed to the Arctic. They are a little bulky and heavy if you're not out in the elements, but you won't find a better boot.

Canada Goose Muskoka Jacket - Women's

July 6, 2011

Are Canada Goose items true to fit? The sizing on Backcountry is slightly different than the sizing on Canada Goose's website... Which size chart is the best to go with? Thanks!

G3 Jam Ski - Women's

June 22, 2011

Thanks! I'd say I'll be about 50/50 East/West. I haven't had a new pair of skis in 10 years, so I'm excited to get something that will rock any condition. Can the Zest handle the ice of the East?

G3 Jam Ski - Women's

June 21, 2011

I'm an agressive alpine and tele skier looking for an AT setup that is versatile enough to play in and out of bounds on the East and West coast (ice, crud, groomed, powder). Would the G3 Jam perform well in all these conditions?

Perfect for Polar Adventures!

Patagonia R4 Fleece Jacket - Women's

Patagonia R4 Fleece Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 July 2, 2010

I bought this jacket for polar travel, and its perfect! Its great for both layering and as an outer layer. The jacket's wind stopping capabilities make it perfect for an outer jacket on dry arctic summer days, and the warm fleece will be a great mid layer in the antarctic. The downside is the sizing. The arms are HUGE, and the torso true to size. Its a strange combination, but it doesn't restrict mobility, so its all good!

Overall, a great jacket!

Cute, but not practical

Oakley Float  Bib Pant - Women's

Oakley Float Bib Pant - Women's

Rating for this product: 2 December 3, 2009

These pants are very cute, but they really aren't practical for anyone who is really going to venture outside and DO ANYTHING. I liked the bib feature for skiing, but it turns out the strap isn't secured to the pants very well. In the back, it is only attached by two snaps, which let go the minute you put tension on them (ie: bend over to adjust boots, bindings, etc.). Without the bibs they work fine, but they just lost half of the advertised functionality.

Oakley Float Bib Pant - Women's

How easy is it to remove the bib? Does the single strap stay put when it is up?
