Can someone explain the significant of this particular jacket please ? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...ssPageName=WDVW

What about a hood ??? Should i pay extra for the a jacket with Hood ? Is there any reason why the down jacket should not go inside the shell ?? Dont u get more protection from wind and rain if the down is inside the shell ? I understand that it be too warm to wear down while climbing , Is it just convenience to wrap the down or insulated jacket over all the layers ?? ALso, how can a syntetics insulation be better for alpine ?? is it solely the jacket protection against dampness and wetness ? If so, i might just get synthetic ?? thanks again

Looking to get a new down jacket for ice cragging/belay. 1) Do I save money and buy a non water resistant down jacket and then wear my shell over it ? 2) What ?? at that cold of temp, it wont be raining anyways, So buy a down jacket a size bigger so you can wear it over all your layers. 3) Bite the bullet and buy Gore dryloft or other water resistant materials (which ?), because you need to wear the down over all your layers (even your shell!). HELP !!

When did they start making single wall tent ?? Why did they STOP MAKING THEM NOW ??? 7 lbs, 2 oz. 41 square ft, 51 square ft with vestibule ?? Sounds like a commercial winner to me ??? Are they even being made with breathable materials ?? Last I heard, Gore Tex doesnt want anybody to make tents with their materials due to fire issues ?? If they are indeed made out of non breathable (i dont remember North Face having their own proprietory breatable laminate), these people inside the tent will be soaking wet ! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=87130&item=5141201513&rd=1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=36118&item=5140679725&rd=1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=87130&item=5141192409&rd=1

I am so lost, looking to get my first 4 season tent for a) 14'ers summit b) backcountry XC skiing in low elevation Looking at the following a) Hilleberg Nammtaj 2 b) Bibler Tempest c) Eldorado or I tent (concern about vestibule) d) ID MK1XL e) Marmot Alpinist : light & cheaper but i dont see any reviews on this tent so far ??? WEIRD ??? f) Mountain Hardware Annapurna Any Advice ?? which would be easier on managing Condensation while on lower elevation ?? p/s: I met with a MH rep and he told me; unless u are up over 16000 ft, single wall would give u a lot of condensation problems. I was inquiring him about the MH EV2. PLEASE HELP AS I NEED A TENT SOON !!!!!!!
