  7. About the same financially (same job(s)). Better mentally (BA to MUP to MS). Worse physically (my belly's fatter). About the same romantically (same dame). I do think that I'm alot less happy over all with everything going on in the world especially the USA.
  8. My brother is 6"4" tall with like a 24 inch torso and it fits him as well, My Mom is 5'2" short and we put it on her and she had no complaints either. The FACE 22 is based on the MAMMUT Butterfly suspension that gives all the fancy fit-performance through simple frame symmetry and cooling padding without the extra weight and junk that other brands paste onto their packs.
  9. This is a daypack and doesn't have the measurement requirements that larger packs have. I'm a 5'8" with an 18 inch torso/33inch waist and this pack fits me fine. I'm 100% sure its a universal fit.

Never took her out in the woods for the real action.

  13. Thanks Dane. What is this "-25/30c"? Celsius? -25 to -30 celsius*? If so that is pretty warm for a single leather boot-The Nepal Evo! *transalated to -13 to -22 Fahrenheit!
  14. How warm are they? In NY we tend to either end up ice climbing in 40 F degree weather one day and then sub zero F degree the next day. Sometimes you get both weather in one day of climbing and plastics aren't the most comfy and versatile so I'm this month looking to update my Koflach Verts with these new popular GTX Nepal Evos. I just don't want to give up the warmth. Everyone says they are the shit, but no one seems to have an agreement on how much "more warmer" they are than other leathers and how "less warmer" they are than double plastics?
  15. I'm in the same boat. I been climbing ice the last 2 years with my plastic Koflach Verticals (which I got a few years ago for a Torres Del Paine trip). My problem with the Verts is not wieght (those babies are as lite as sugar waffles), But as my climbing improves I want a little more flexibilty and Everyone is telling me to get Sportiva Nepal Evos but no one can tell me how warm they really are. I tend get cold feet during belays. I learned that the hard way from an rental plastic Koflach Degres that gave me damp, cold feet in sub zero Adirondaks weather so I'm worried about trading warmth for something way more agile than the Verts. But the Evo's or the Baturas seem to be what I may need. Does anyone really know how warm those Nepal Evos are? Also can you use them comfortably (without sweaty feet) for a Summer/Fall alpine trip in the rockies?
  16. That Merrell "Fill-it-yourself" Gatherer Jacket is tizight!
  17. sickie Don't get it twisted huckleberry! LMAO! Hear something funny, I did an Semester Long Alpine Mountaineering Outward Bound Course in 1994 when I was wee lad in HS and I did this 3 day marathon challenge (where we had to run a distance of 28.2 miles whiles picking up trash along the trail and running with it. At the end your garbage was weighed in and compared to other teams garbage), We won first place and I got a lifetime subscription to that Backpacker magazine. I went away to college, moved to San Franscisco, then New Jersey, then I came back home to New York and found my Mom kept about 7 years of unread magazine in my room. All that time I was travelling I forgot about it. I collected them and I spent a month reading all 7 years of that Magazine which is how I got back into the outdoors. Now I live in Westchester and I still get them every month (but lately I think my neighbor has been stealing my copies). EDIT: Oh...we won that challenge because the morning of our last day we found a fking 19th century rusty metal chimney deep in the San Juan mountains and we ran that shit all the way to the finish line. Team Vader of Leadville 1994!!!!!
  18. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! (washing eyes out with soap!)
  19. That might be a good idea. Did you ever follow thru with this? SummitPost is not that thorough and pretty rustic with some of what they have reviewed there. There is a BackpackerReview.org (google it, my spelling is off) website that reviews gear via user submission and they require pictures (especially of stuff being used in the field), and full articles for reviews with pros and cons. It is not some fanboy talking about how TNF makes the coolest jackets, like most other review sites, or some $1000 Sat Phone that 99% of us won't ever buy or need being reviewed in Outside Magazine. But that site has realistic, indepth and impartial reviews of stuff that people actually buy and toil in. It need more membership and traffic to be better, but it is along the same line of what you are thinking of. Trailspace.com is another site that is decent for gear reviews. But they are specific to big name brand commercial American stuff like the N.Face and Patagania and you prolly wont find CiloGear , Granite Gear or eVent gear like Loki on there. Another really great site for innovative gear is OutdoorsMagic.com. This UK based website usually not only gives you juicy, indept reviews of what is already out there, but often "sneak previews" various brands full line of what is coming for the next season. The only downside is this site is UK based and you prolly won't recognize names of what they are talking about (their GoreTex is eVent and their NikWax is Granger) and they review brands that are hard to buy in the USA like Lowe Alpine, Eider, Ajungilak, Mammut, Millet Berghuas, Haglofs and the current God of all outdoors brand "Mountain Equip". Still they are pretty keen on what's really good, what's not and they have full articles on gear care and even buying gear.
  20. That is funny! There is a PayLess Shoe store in LIMA! Starbucks I expected, but Payless...
  21. Awesome! I love the summaries beneath each compilation. Well written.
