I fit a half size up on TNF Boots from my Merrells and pumas and adidas and Salomon and Keen footwear. But i don't own any b/c i am between sizes. 10.5 is too small and 11 is too big in TNF

The 10.5 was a little more snug than i am used to. I have a bit wider than standard feet and would go a half size up due to width issues, but i should mention i don't own these. Just tried them on.

They will probably be good. But if i was hiking said trail I would look for something with a vibram sole and goretex depending on bridge status and time of year. Definitely give them a good break in period before you go no matter the footwear you choose.

They would work fine, but you would be crazy hot below the tree line. Save these for Alpine pursuits and look elsewhere for your backpacking adventures. These are overkill. I wear Merrell Perimeter GTX when it is too cold for vibram5fingers

No. And anyone that tells you it does is either a liar or works for Columbia.

13'6” x 9'6” and 7'3" tall at the peak...from Eureka's website.

■Saude, an old name for Sauherad municipality inTelemark, Norway

presumably, they ski there

the Double Deluxe is 20inches longer and weighs 7oz more than the Double Nest.

i would contact camelbak's customer service department and get them to replace it rather than buying replacement parts. i had a better bottle that did the same thing, and they sent me a free one. the problem was the replacement leaked too. i just decided that the "better bottle" is in fact the "worser bottle" and moved on.

color.

i have never seen one. i think that with as deep as the teeth are, if you tried to sharpen the other side you would just snap it in half on 1st use. plus, i am not sure that i would have any use for a semi-flexible knife blade.

i dont know anything about these shoes, but saw your comment about wearing vibrams. i have the same philosophy. i wear kinda similar shoes by Born, when i cant get away with wearing vibrams...check born stewie and kilbury models...they are nothing more than leather sewn to a piece of flat/neutral rubber.

the dimemsions for that blade are 10x10.75 inches. the pack dimensions are 19.5 x 12 x 6.5 inches. it should fit, but i havent personally tried it.

have had of similar glasses from more than a few brands in a variety of price ranges. i have yet to find a brand that does not get loose and rattly over time. i wouldnt trust this $60 pair to do any better. spy worked the best and longest for me, but the ones i still wear are no longer manufactured.

same weight, same material. (backcountry's desciption is wrong for both). the material is Marmot M3 Softshell (90% Nylon, 10% elastane). the tioga has an integrated belt, scuff guards on the ankles, and is more athletically cut. scree is a looser fit and lacks the scuff guards and belt (but has belt loops). hope that helps

i wear a 7 3/8 fitted hat and always go with the large/XL on stretch fit hats

noted, but that is not a question.

i wouldnt worry about the waist size too much on the jacket. go with what will fit your shoulders. if you read the label on the sizing chart, you will notice that that sizing chart is for patagonia outerwear tops and bottoms...it is not specific to this jacket.

go with the large and return/exchange it if it doesnt fit. backcountry.com has great return policies. i have done just that a couple times before...its painless.

i dont know the answer to your question, but i am in the same boat with a wide forefoot and a narrow heal. i have used plastic heal cups in the past that are made to provide more mass around your heal. they are not uncomfortable and they served their purpose.

dont know for this jacket specifcally, but i have noticed that things i order are darker in color when i take them out of the packaging than they appear in the pictures on this site....may have something to do with the white background.

145 centimeters, which equates to 57.08 inches, also 4 foot 9 inches. if that is not long enough for your purposes, you have more serious anatomical problems that would preclude your taking pictures.

probably not, but your pack should fit under the vestibule where you can keep an eye on it. my brother has the 1man Eureka spitfire and fits his pack in with him just fine. the mountain hardwear sprite 1 will for sure fit your needs if you can still find one... you might also try an extra long bivy that you could fit your gear in with you, but then again when you are not in the bivy with your gear, people will know your pack is in it... there is not really a lot out there that is designed such that you can fit your stuff in with you. you might check out 2 man tents as well. they wont be much heavier than the same model 1 man.

i have had to size up one half size on columbia footwear in the past

you will have to contact customer service on that one. 800-409-4502 or open a chat now window (top right of your screen). people that answer questions on these threads dont have access to shipping information, and customer service reps dont typically answer questions on here.

you open the valve and blow.

this model requires the user to blow it up. air pads, like this one are traditionally the lightest and most packable pads you can buy. they, however, are not the warmest. as inflatable pads go, this is a good choice. you might also look at the thermarest neo-air pads. if you are looking for one that is self inflating, i have had the stoic lightweight step pad for over 2yrs now and love it. people also rave about the thermarest prolite self inflating pad.

tell customer service if you think there is wrong information posted about this item so that they can fix it.

Pack is constructed from tough 900-denier polyester that's treated with a Durable Water Repellent that causes water to bead up and roll off

most companies are making their bottles and accessories to the wide mouth nalgene bottle specs. i would say yes, but i dont know for sure. i would buy it and send it back if it doesnt fit your needs.

i dont know the answer to that, but being that it costs $220 i wouldnt try it, and if you do, keep a fire extinguisher and the gas shut off valve to your house handy.

if you are trying to make an outdoor kitchen type thing, there are better options out there by brands like Viking...made for use with natural gas.

this is made specifically for use with propane.

nope. you will have fabric hanging out in some parts and no coverage under the tent floor fabric in others. on the expensive but traditional side, you can seek out the footprint specific to your tent, or you can go to a hardware store and get some plastic sheeting (like tyvek) and cut it to your tent's dimensions (this option will most likely be lighter and will for sure be cheaper, assuming you dont go buy the scissors that will shear a car door to cut it).

i think you would probably regret carrying a duffel style bag for three weeks and this is not the best bag for backpacking/camping. without knowing the nature of your trip, i think you would be better served getting a traditional pack.

my buddy has this pack. i carried it for a while to check it out. it carries more like a suitcase with straps than an actual pack. i would look to the osprey atmos 65, i think it would suit your backpacking/camping needs better.

good choice. maybe a little larger volume if it is a self-supported trip depending on weather and how much clothing you will have to pack.

at 6'1" i think the sleeves on a medium would be too short for you. a large might be a bit baggy, considering its not an athletic cut. you might try one with a more athletic cut. you could always order it, try it on and return it if it doesn't fit. backcountry.com does that.

3lbs 1oz according to the manufacturer's website.

that was probably for last season's colors and overstocked or discontinued sizes.

just volume. they are the same pack with different volumes. they both have the same strap and belt sizing options...i.e. xs, s, m, l

you could i am sure, but that would kind of defeat the purpose of getting these glasses to begin with...light reduction. you might be hard pressed to find lenses that offer the same amount of visible light reduction.

this one is in the medium range on the puffiness factor. you might look into some with synthetic insulation. eddie bauer's first ascent line is warm and is pretty low on the puffiness factor...

i can get my mountain hardwear ultralamina into to the 10 Liter. its a tight squeeze, but it fits.

yes, but i like the smartwool PHDs personally.

colors are kind of off on this website on my computer. i would check a couple other sources before ordering, but in my experience, the colors are usually darker in person than as pictured on this site

850 fill down. my experience with this bag is pretty limited, but i sleep cool. i would not trust it much below the rating. you might take a liner along.

it just has a dwr coating, meaning it is water resistant. i would not trust it to be waterproof

multiple web sources say yes.

200 will be heavier weight...more dense

backcountry.com has a no questions asked return policy of which i have taken advantage on several occasions. order and return with confidence my friend.

water resistant is not good enough. you need gore-tex or comparable .
