Marta,
Backcountry cannot ship the Columbia brand outside the U.S. However, if you have a friend or family member in the U.S., the product can be shipped to them and they can ship it to you.

Ive flown with my 4300 cu in backpack (at about 1/2 to 2/3 full) multiple times and have never heard a peep out of a ticket agent or a flight attendant, plus it fits just fine in the overhead bin. This pack is half that size, so you should have no problem using it as a carry on, recommend you dont pack it to capacity, just in case.

Juan,
The Burton online store had the True Black size S in stock, all other colors were sold out. This is usually the time of year manufacturers are either getting ready for next years model or they are discontinuing the product. In either case, I recommend you contact Backcountry directly via email or online chat and ask a rep.

The nice thing about down coats is they compress nicely to fit under a shell, provided your shell offers some breathing room. Advice from a bigger guy, I stand at 6' 2" and 205 and I wear my jackets in L to XL depending on the manufacturer (usually large). A medium should fit you well, just make sure you order a brand that Backcountry can ship outside the US. Otherwise, have it shipped to a friend or family member in the states then they can ship it to you.

Chris,
Yes, these crampons are designed to work with any boot that has the front and rear welts. On a side note, I have the regular Sabertooth's and they work great. Enjoy.

These sunglasses fit a med to large sized head.

Could not find any weight info for the 181's, but the 174's weigh in at 2100 grams or 4.6 lbs, if that is any help.

This carbon only filter is used to make bad tasting water taste better. The filter does not offer a ceramic component for use in the backcountry. Filtering safe to drink "Well water", with its sulfur taste and smell, would be a good example of this filters proper use.

The North Face clothing is comparable to Under Armour in many areas. However, I have always prefered my T.N.F. gear for durability in the outdoors over U.A.

Nicole,
Size 32 offers a 32" inseam and size 34 has a 33" inseam.

Lily,
Oakley does not offer this cap in a plain purple, however, Backcountry does sell the Oakley Mechanical hat, which may be more to your liking. Link below:

Adam,
Yes, one pole is included.

Adam,
Costa typically markets their glasses towards people who fish. If you click on the size link in the upper R corner under options, you will see a description for each lens color. For off the water use, either lens will offer very similar results. From a fellow pilot, I have an older pair of Costas with interchangeable lenses and I love em. I use the gray lenses for sunny conditions and switch to a yellow lens when flying daytime IFR or VFR with overcast skies. Both lenses offer nice clarity and I have found no noticable issues when trying to spot traffic above or below. If you have the time, check BC for a pair that offer interchangeable lenses for high and low light conditions, you wont be disappointed.

Backcountry can deliver to San Diego and Miami. However, Backcountry itself is located in a town in Utah and does not have satellite stores like a department store would have.

Bottom line Mike, every climb is different, and some will require more of the smaller cams while others need larger ones. As a climber and someone who has many climbing friends, we all own and use the 0.5-3 sizes pretty regularly, with the occasional micro-cam or larger cam thrown into the mix. It doesnt really matter what sizes you double up on, because sooner or later, each size will find its use. If you have the time, check out what your climbing friends have more of, or see what is recommended for the climbs/crags in your area. You can also check out the Omega Pacific Link Cam, which has the size range of three cams (NEATO!) Otherwise, mix and match and just have fun with awesome gear.

Happy to help Casey. The added peace of mind with the durable eVAC is worth the little extra weight, and you will be amazed at how much stuff you can stuff into these. A 13L sack should work great for your MH bag and extra clothes. If your packing a backpack, car, kayak, etc. and space becomes an issue, look into using a dry compression sack to get the air out.

Maria,
Backcountry has a contract with the Burton brand that will not allow them to ship this jacket outside the US. However, should you have friends or family in the States, Backcountry can ship the jacket you choose to them and they can send it to you in Argentina. This jacket is offered in size medium, depending on the style you want. Other styles may be sold out.

Mike,
If your starting your own gear rack, and you have friends with plenty of gear to share, a single set of these is nice (0.5-3). It tells your friends you want to help, without making a bold statement. Eventually though, you will find yourself doubling up on all these main cam sizes, then the micro cams, then the monster cams. Cams are the meat and potatoes of any gear rack, and they hardly ever go to waste on most climbs. As with all tech gear, be sure you understand their proper use and placement. Climb safe.

Casey,
The Ultra-Sil has a lighter material, and the eVAC Dry uses nylon for added durability. The size of your sleeping bag, its weight and fill (down or synthetic) will have some bearing on choosing an appropriately sized stuff sack. An 8 oz bag should suit fine, but if you choose a larger sack, you can always stuff more on top of your sleeping bag with the extra room not going to waste.

Size 39 should accommodate nicely.

Here is the blaze red/thunder color from the Berghaus website.

Hi Paula,
Backcountry has a contract with the Roxy brand that will not allow them to ship these skis outside the US. However, should you have friends or family in the States, Backcountry can ship the skis to them and they can send em to Australia.

These sunglasses offer a small fit.

The Larry Chairs weight capacity is 250lbs.

Laptop sleeve fits most 17 inch laptops.

The long should suit your needs just fine.

Both the long and traveller offer the same width, so leg comfort wont be an issue. Question is do you want to cover up a pillow as well?

Montbell uses a type of fabric that stretches, and allows more movement while you relax or sleep with the bag zipped up. Using the long bag as an example, you would have a relaxed shoulder circumference of 57" and a streched soulder circumference of 81".

Paul,
The short and regular sizes are 20" wide and the long size is 25".

Volume guide (take from label)

To clean 1-2 items use 2 full caps (100 ml) in soft water or 3 full caps in hard water. Quantities used will depend on condition and size of items.

Ray,
Chair specs as follows:

Dimensions (Open) 19"x19"x18"
Dimensions (Closed) 5"x5"x27"
Seat Height 17.5"
Weight 2.5 lbs.
Weight capacity 250 lbs.

Ray,
Stool specs per Backcountry gear guru Willy Syndram as follows:

• Setup size: 17"L x 15"W x 18"H
• Folded size: 4" x 17" x 24"
• Weight capacity: 225 lbs

Colleen,
A review of these boots by rog2569879 states "The majority of the boots are lined with Thinsulate - the shearling lining is only the first three inches of the top of the boot and the tounge." Hope that helps.

No, the weight of this chair is 21 lbs and has a max capacity of 330 lbs.

Aaron,
I work in the western suburbs and use a similar jacket (not TNF) for the winter and can honestly say, you will get your moneys worth with this jacket. The stowable hood and powder skirt help to keep Chicago winds off your head and from blowing up the bottom of the coat. Use the inner jacket for those random spring like days that pop up in February, then trade it for the outer shell when the cold rains hit in April. TNF makes good stuff, plus its on sale.

The only information I was able to find is that the hands are luminescent. The users manual to this watch does not indicate a light feature.

The Easy Cot weighs in at 24 lbs, and will hold up to 325 lbs.

These pillows all weigh @ less than a lb, and are worth it for a little comfort to a good nights sleep. Size depends on how comfortable you want your head to be. Medium works for me, and I usually shove a packed stuff sack underneath for extra padding.

The mat is 2" thick when inflated.

Yes there are two, the slap straps are sold in pairs.

This backpack was made to hold items for school, including a laptop up to 14". Depending on how much school work you have may determine if this pack will work for you or if you need a larger pack.

Nixon offers many different versions of the "51-30" watch. It appears photos got mixed up. Cory Guru's photo above shows the correct pic of this watch in all black.

Nope, its 11" X 15" X 1.5". Good catch.

Nick,
How much gear are you packing and how many nights are you staying on the mtn? With the right gear, a pack this size should be able to haul enough stuff to tie you over for three to five nights.

You should have no issue using this as a carry on. Ive flown with my 4300 cu in pack (not filled to capacity) multiple times and no one has ever given me grief about carrying it on.

Gary,
Over the years, Ive fit my 4300 cu in pack into overhead compartments on numerous flights (though it wasnt filled to capacity). This pack is half that size, so you should have no problem using it as a carry on.

Cindy,

It appears Yakima has yet to test and manufacture a bike rack for the Volt. However, Thule offers bike racks for the Volt. Visit Thule's website and use their fit guide to find the rack you need: http://www.thule.com/en/US/FitGuide.aspx#startApp

Sorry, due to an agreement with Nixon, Backcountry does not ship their brand outside the US. However, if you know someone who lives in the US, you can pay for it and have it shipped it to their address and they can ship it to you.

Grace,
This pack cover will work fine to protect your deva 60 from the elements, choose size M. If you plan on checking your deva as baggage, take a look at the Pacsafe mesh cover. It will keep your contents safe and hug loose straps to help them from getting snagged during travel. Backcountry sells the Pacsafe cover, web link as follows: http://www.backcountry.com/pacsafe-pacsafe-backpack-bag-protector

Ken,
I speak from personal experience after a similar issue eight years ago. Insoles will help, but your foot will still shift forward, especially during a descent, or if your trying to kick into ice. This will result in blisters, foot fatigue and sore shins. My recommendation is, return them for a better size.

15 deg bags tend to stay pretty warm, even a bit uncomfortable, during summer nights (more so in high humid areas). Opening the zipper helps, but as you cool off, you just want to cover back up until you get hot again. My recommendation is to purchase a bag liner. A liner will help keep the inside of your bag clean, they are nice for warm summer nights when the bag is too much, and they help you stay a bit warmer when your pushing the bag to its cold limit. Backcountry has em in stock, web link as follows:
http://www.backcountry.com/sleeping-bag-liners

Leslie,
The above filter is the replacement for the PuR Guide system (see photo).

The inflated thickness is 1.5"

Albert,
There are two to a pack. A single wrap measures approximately 40" long by 5.7" wide, and you can join two or more together to wrap larger trees.

Daisy,
The dozen + websites I checked all offer the same price as Backcountry. Often times these products will not go on sale until the manufacturer discontinues the product/model. Backcountry currently offers other TNF and comparable mens rain jackets that are now on sale. http://www.backcountry.com/mens-rain-jackets

While this jacket has no hood, check out TNF's Apogee, Agency and Transformer Steep Tech jackets. All three are outfitted with hoods and are currently on sale. Backcountry offers limited sizes due to the end of the winter season.

There are vestibules at both doors. However, the "back door" vestibule is approximately 1/2 the size of the front.

Max,
The Bugaboo Hiker set includes a 2 L Pot, 1 Strainer Lid, 2 14 fl. oz. insulated mugs, 2 14 fl. oz. bowls, 2 Sip-It Tops, a Folding Pot Gripper, and Stuff Sack. Utensils sold seperately.

Teri, the length of the Kelty Supernova Double is 80".

Not a dumb question at all David. You'll need a four season tent if you are going to camp in areas where snow may accumulate on the tent, such as during a heavy snow storm, or with high winds and blowing/drifting snow that can sneak in through the mesh of a three season tent. Generally, a four season tent is designed with these conditions in mind. At the cost of weight, they add things like covers for mesh windows, extra guy lines, extra tent stakes and beefed up frames, just bring a buddy to help you carry the extra load. A four season tent will bottle in a bit more heat than a three season, especially in colder temps. If I might make a recommendation, try the TNF Mountain 25 tent. I have an eight year old four season TNF tent that has been through everything and I swear by it. You'll save yourself $50 as well as 1 & 1/2 lbs in weight. Happy camping.

This jacket has underarm mesh panels.

Rick, you can watch a Smith rep change out the lenses in an online video, link below.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gTOak83kQE&feature=related

Yes, this bag includes a compression sack.

This pack is not waterproof. If you like your current pack, you can save money and purchase a pack cover. Backcountry sells covers from $24.95, depending on the size you need. If you want a new pack, many of the Osprey packs include a rain cover, or if you prefer a completely waterproof pack, look at the SealLine Urban and DAKINE Cyclone Roll Top to name a few.

Size and weight are the main differences. The pro is a bit smaller than the single and uses custom carabiners to reduce weight. However, both are constructed from the same material and will hold up to 400 lbs.

Aside from the color and graphic designs on the headphones, all three are alike. There is no difference in sound quality, headphone size or options.

The center bar is 1/8" steel and is quite rigid. There is some minimal "play" at the ends where the bar connects at the front and rear, but that is normal and won't interfere with its intended use.

Yes, its good for cross-carry (horizontal) and vertical when packing a snowboard.

While the above description makes it sound like a single, there are two poles.

It's most likely a matter of individuals attempting to purify snow melt water. SteriPEN water purifiers effectively disinfect snow melt waters, but in some instances, the SteriPEN may not readily activate if the water is so pure that there is not enough trace mineral content to cause the water sensors to recognize that the unit is submerged in water. Very pure water is a poor electrical conductor -- the sensors may not conduct enough electricity to recognize the water. This can easily be corrected by adding a small pinch of salt, or a drop or two of some kind of electrolyte beverage to the water. If you need more info, visit SteriPEN's FAQ website, link below:
