Poor wheel quality

Osprey Packs Shuttle 22 Rolling Gear Bag - 2440cu in

Rating for this product: 2 July 25, 2012

Full disclosure: I am a longtime Osprey pack user and fan, but this review is about the wheel system that is on the Vector 22, but remains unchanged on this model and other Osprey models. After my 10 year old Hartmann carry-on wore out I naturally looked to Osprey given my great experience with three other pack. However, after just three weeks and two trips of carrying on the Osprey bag, I noticed a wheel was wobbling. In speaking with Osprey Care they say they have never had this problem and offered to fix it, but I think one may be able to understand why I would not trust a bag that is seemingly so fragile so as to break after three weeks.

Fortunately, bc.com's return policy is awesome, which is why I continue to buy from them. Good luck.

Would the Watea 94 work as a backcountry setup? Pros/cons? What skins would work? TIA, gurus.

Liberty Helix Ski

Anyone know if this ski changed at all from last year? I had the chance to test the 2008/2009 model, so any help would be great.

Marmot Ama Dablam Down Jacket - Men's

January 6, 2010

Trying to decide between the Ama Dablam and the Patagonia hooded down sweater. Mostly for in town use in CO, but also as a layer for skiing. Question about warmth, durability, versatility, etc. Others I should look at as well? 6' 200# and the Patagonia large fits well. Thanks, Jim

Cloudveil RPK Pant - Men's

April 24, 2009

Are these the same fit as the Koven pant, but with a bit of a lining? I ask because I tried the hoback pant and found them to fit more snug, and too low on the waist? Also considering the Zero G, which have a suspender option. Thx.

Hestra Vertical Cut Freeride Glove DO NOT USE

April 1, 2009

Thanks, Rob and Andrew for the previous answers. Do people recommend wearing a liner underneath these? I have about 1/4" at the fingertips, and a liner does not fit. Would you recommend a size up, or will they loosen up enough to fit a polartec-type liner?

Good stuff

Helly Hansen Verglas Jacket - Men's

Helly Hansen Verglas Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 March 16, 2009

Would highly recommend this shell, but would suggest you try it on first as I found it ran small. I am 6' 200#, and found the L to be a bit restricting. Very simple design, with little touches such as pass pocket that work great.

Would work great for backcountry (if I did that), but found with a base layer and fleece/down vest it was plenty warm for resort skiing.

Arc'teryx Stingray Jacket - Men's

March 15, 2009

Q for BeeCee: I've been thankfully warned about overheating if I coupled my hercules jacket with a Stingray (thanks, Cyrus), and he suggested I ask you about pairing this with a shell for resort skiing. Would appreciate any Arc'teryx recommendations, along with thoughts about how a Cloudveil Koven Plus would fare in this setup.I mostly ski in CO and UT.

Arc'teryx Stingray Jacket - Men's

Curious as to how the Stingray coupled with a hercules jacket, and base layer would fare in resort skiing to keep warm. Any thoughts?
