Good condition jacket. no rips or tears, few inner rough points that have been covered with tape. The flap snap button cover came off, but the snap is still functional. Color is blue. Picture attached. Looking for $150 delivered.

Just checked all my "posts". Well kweb, hope you've tried the "hot" yoga. The other benefit with heat, is that your overall blodflow and condition is warmed up, not just major groups, and since everything is more or less ready to go, it facilitates better stretching. I figure you ought to go 2x a week. When going, water-load the night before. You lose a fair bit of water during sleep, so by counteracting it with water loading before bed, you will be in a better starting position for the next days' hot yoga session. ^^Just something I thought of. Note: I've always wanted one of those boards. Have a link to the model?

It's the older Alpha SV, blue, size XL, with the front flap and 3ply gore-tex. Very good shape, figure 8-8.5/10? The button cover fell off on the bottom, but it still snaps. $175? Not a beater. Arc'teryx Nozone pack, short torso. T ried it out, medium is better for me. Condition is excellent, but only has the webbing hipbelt. OR, if you want a size medium Nozone belt, I'll throw that in. ^^Best offer, since I don't have the small hipbelt.

Surgery helped me. Remember, everything is a case by case basis. You have to look at the pro's and con's, and that post surgery you will probably continue to lose muscle (self-explanatory). If it's your last hope, don't put it off. One thing that might help in general is improving your flexibility and smaller connective tissues/stabilizers. This will help in alignment, posture and thereby decrease the odds of re-injury and painful moments in general. I suggest doing Bikram yoga. It's yoga for flexibility done in a very hot steam room. This gets the blood going, so your muslcles are ALL super warm (your whole self), and allows for good overall stretching, not just muscle groups. If everything is working together better, should be better off in the long run. Lemme know what ya think/if this helped.

Check out MEC - www.mec.ca Good selection of packs, very good quality, unbelievable pricing.

Dough eh? I will try that! I really wished the red one fit me. One of these and a softshell and you are A-OK for most weather ex: Gamma SV + this light guy which has a fully working hood

I also have ANOTHER same anorak, also medium, but with a red top and purple bottom. Looks better than the yellow

This is for the "Pneumatic" pullover -made with Gore's activent. It's a really, really great piece. It's unique in that it has vertical AND horizontal adjustments on the hood (harder to find on winbreakers). The material is ripstop and there are velcro closures at the cuffs. The zipper goes two ways so you can vent a bit with the hood done fully up i.e. when biking. These is a perfect companion to a softshell, or as a backup in your pack. I have another one in a different size that fits me better, so selling this one. Condition is perfect a-1 as new. Hows...$45 delivered?

Yup - that's right. A himalayan hotel. I had someone reneg on me, and well, ski season/travel is around the corner and was looking to sell this tent (eventually will get a single wall). I have pictures for interested parties. I was offered $500 (it is excellent, no rips/tears/mildew/damage/etc.) I put it up on ebay a month ago during a 10 cent sale, and the buyer renegged. Thought I would try here. I have a few other items listed here, just look for my id

It's called the "pneumatic" pullover. I scored a different size which fits better, so selling the medium. It's activent, so it's highly wind/water resistant - the front zipper goes two ways, so you can vent from the front, or, get at something without overexposing your face to wind/rain. 2-way adjustable hood, velcro cuffs. ^^This is a GREAT piece that works perfectly with a softshell. If I didn't get a small, I wouldn't be selling it. $40, yellow top half, purple bottom half, I have a picture.

Yelm?

Arcteryx delta jacket - the original one navy blue, medium. Excellent condition. No rips or anything like that, light pilling. Gamma SV jacket, medium black, excellent condition, Just greying a little due to washes. North face windstopper hat, with the earflaps, La Sportiva Superfly, size 9.5, as new, purple/yellow. Pictures later this evening. Edited: ASKING $130 for the GammaSV, $40 for the fleece.

^^Yeah, certain things have bare minimum weights and lighter wieght ppl have a higher weight to body weight ratio. Sucks, but that's the way it is!

Borea got traded

^^You are on point with your post. I find it funny when ppl wrinkle their nose at my army sweater: a CDN Forces (military) "wooly pully" sweater is the best $$$ for a winter wool sweater there is. They are about $30-40 CDN NEW - and are sized like suits, so you can get 40", 46" Tall, whatever, they are ribbed vertically so every size has some stretch for layering, and are supremely durable. Also, they are amazingly warm. MattP: These guys know what you are talkin' about: http://home.primus.ca/~dooley/climbing/squamish/grandwall/freaks/grandfreaks.html

Finding the climber who died with the most toys..... come on! He wasn't gonna need those shades anymore :-P Crackers makes a good point on size - 6'5 = you need more space. If you eat more or pack extras ppl don't usually bring (I always bring extra snacks and coffee/cocoa) then get a pack that think fits. Just don't forget about the option of 1 item outside the pack in a pocket/whatever.

The literature of I've come across has the same consensus: MSR denali is the way to go. Just hoping to pick up something that you can't see coming w/o actual use ex: in -40 0C the 7076 stays in my pack flexed PERFECTLY when I used the load lifters. ^^Means more than "7076 is cooler than 6061" Thansk for the speedy replies!

Softshells are very wind resistant - depending on the fabric! Hardshells are waterproof. Softshells allow more heat to escape so you don't get wet/sweat on the inside as much. I used to have a really usefull piece from MTn hardwear, it was "tempest" jacket - virtually waterproof, and had a microfleece lining, so when it rained - and thus got cold with a t-shirt - the lining kept me jsut right w/o overheating. Soemthing to look into maybe? For light precip when wearing a softshell, I keep an activent hoody in my pack. Probably weighs the same as the hood of a softshell alone, so....a good working combo. The way I decided to get a softshell, was that for the extra $$$, I got a more durable, versatile piece. I have a gamma SV from arc'teryx. ^^My logic: I get the warmth of a fleece, but I don't need a secondary layer to keep the wind out. With my activent hoody I'm good for a lot of conditions and would be more comfortable that with a fleece/g-tex combo. My softshell will last a LOT longer, and keeps you dry relatively in light precip. I also run a little cold so...part of my process. ^^the gamma sv is also a relative warm item. Hope this helped!

Curious for feedback with ppl with more experience: Any system/superior to any others? Or at a certain price range, it just comes down to rosewood or mahogany? i.e. personal preference? I'm looking for one for winter hiking and that can take me up a steep 6400ft peak.

Another pitch for ya - Arc'teryx Borea - 47 litres. So basically overstuff it a little `till you get your gear down, or get a side pocket...Plus you will ALWAYS find a way to fill a bigger pack. Add-on pockets, or a bungee is a "last ditch" solution. I like the borea's pocket set up, the 7076 which flexes well in cold temps, and the kangaroo pocket with the side zip. It allows you to organize like a briefcase with the pack on its side: main comp. and kang. zips are parallel. ^^This also allows for a bungee through the daisys. http://www.arcteryx.com/product.aspx?Borea# I'm *incidentally* selling one. But I agree with EricB that used is good. 2 Used packs for the price of 1 new one = more options.
