Western Mountaineering Versalite Sleeping Bag: 10 Degree Down
March 23, 2012
An 8 liter sack should do the trick, but check the dimensions of the specific sack to make sure they are at least 8" x 15" (the sleeping bag's stuff size)

Big Agnes Insulated Air Core Sleeping Pad - Mummy
March 21, 2012
Backcountry.com does not have an official price match policy, but if you call their customer service line at (800) 409-4502, they will sometimes consider price matching on a case by case basis (some sites can offer lower prices but are less reputable or do not offer the unlimited return policy, which is basically a lifetime warranty, that Backcountry.com does).

Eureka Spitfire Tent: 1-Person 3-Season
March 7, 2012
The floor dimensions are 9' long from tip to tip, 3' 6" at the mid wide point, 2' 2" at the mid narrow point. The Therm-a-Rest and Big Agnes should fit (though it might be tight at the foot end), but a mummy pad would work best.

Ruffwear Approach Dog Pack
March 5, 2012
It doesn't look like any of the Glacial Blue are on order at the moment, but keep checking back, since our inventory is constantly being updated. As for the sizing, the Medium sounds like it would be an excellent fit for your dog. The pack is adjustable at several points to allow for a very comfortable and sturdy fit. It is best to make sure the packs are filled with similar weight on each side, but filling the pouches partway full shouldn't be a problem and I haven't had issues with the pack being too "floppy" in these situations.

Columbia Ethan Pond II Jacket - Little Girls'
February 23, 2012
No, this jacket is not designed for shell compatibility. That said, it's also not waterproof, just wind-resistant, so as a stand alone jacket it's more for casual wear in cool temps. I'd maybe check out the Columbia Snow Flame if you're looking more along the lines of an insulated shell:

The North Face Atlas Triclimate Jacket - Men's
February 23, 2012
This jacket tends to be a little more snug than most people expect due to the dual jacket setup. I'd suggest trying the Medium. I'm typically a Medium in The North Face and the Large in this jacket fit me perfectly. The best thing you can do is measure your chest: Closer to 39" = Medium, Closer to 36" = Small

The day pack is not specifically designed to accommodate a hydration bladder, but there is enough room that you could fit a small sized bladder inside. There will not be an easy access opening for the drinking tube, however, so the bag would have to be opened to use the hydration pack.

K2 HellBent Ski
February 22, 2012
These are great in deep powder, but in tighter conditions, like tight tree areas and chutes, they take some skill to maneuver (think having a snowboard on each foot). If you're not an expert/advanced skier, or plan on being primarily in tighter conditions, I'd maybe check out the K2 Obsethed, especially if this is your first fat ski. Normally I'm all for the "go big or go home" mantra, but since the Obsethed are a little narrower and easier to manage in the trees, yet will still rock the wide open deep pow easily, they're a great alternative to the HellBent.

DAKINE Padded Single Ski Bag
January 30, 2012
Maybe with a little duct tape... :-) no, in all seriousness, this bag is pretty true to the "Single Ski" name. The tube dimensions are only 7.5" x 5". If your skis are not very wide, and you're using a low profile binding, you MIGHT be able to squeeze two pair into this bag, but I wouldn't plan on it.

These shoes do have a waterproof Gore-Tex membrane, which will keep water from penetrating through the shoe material to your feet. That said, water cannot be kept from slipping around the tongue of the shoe, so if you're in more than 2-3 inches of water, expect your feet to get wet.

Hestra Heli 3-Finger Glove - Women's
January 30, 2012
The 3-finger is the best of both worlds, offering better dexterity than a mitten, with a level of warmth and comfort that surpasses a glove. I have a pair of the Men's 3-fingers and absolutely love them. They take some getting used to, but having the ability to pick things up with your thumb and index finger, or grab items out of your pocket without having to take off a mitten makes a world of difference. I would definitely recommend the 3-finger, for sure!
