Sadly, winter was short and warm here and this jacket did not get any extreme outdoor use at all. It was worn on a few chilly weekends biking the Old Croton Acqueduct trail that runs behind my house. Other than that it was well kept and stored since I purchased it. I just picked up the hooded version of this jacket called the MAMMUT Laser and don't need this MAMMUT Clime anymore. It is a remarkable technical jacket that is lighter, far more compressible, and as warmer than any other softshell I've owned (and I've owned lots from the various top brands). It even has pit zips and an extra long velvet-smooth fleece line collar which is a rare and luxurious asset for an ultra-light softshell to have. All my serious outdoor gear is made by Mammut due to their quality, non-commercial markmanship.Everything they design, including this softshell, is created purely with the wearer in mind. At this time it is no longer made by MAMMUT and the remaining stock is hard to find online. I paid $180 for it a few months ago, get it now for less. CONDITION: Like new, clean and execellent condition as you would buy it at the store. It has all tags. There are no stains, odors, tears, abrasions, broken zips, clips anywhere on this jacket. It was washed once with NikWax's Waterproof detergent. This jacket is wind-proof and water-repellent as the day it was bought. SHIPPING: Shipping fees are negotiable and Customer Pick Up in NYC is free otherwise this MAMMUT Clime Jacket will ship securely, quickly and professionally via USPS 2-3 days Flat Rate Priority with Tracking/Delivery Confirmation numbers emailed. Shipping is only $8.00 for US bidders and slightly more for international folks. Asking at least $100 or best offer. Thanks. one of the few times I biked with the jacket. generic picture taken without flash to show true color.

SIZE: Medium COLOR: Blue w/ grey bits. BACKGROUND: Bought this amazing MAMMUT Belay jacket from the mountain tools website(http://www.mtntools.com/cat/techwear/Down/mammutstratushoodedjacketvest.htm) last winter with the idea that I would use it for some serious Ice Climbing in the North East region. Sadly, winter was short and warm here and this jacket did not get much outdoor use at all. It is a remarkable technical jacket that is lighter, far more compressible, and as warm as the more expensive Patagonia Das Parka (I owned both jackets and can atest to this). All my outdoor gear is made by Mammut due to their quality, non-commercial marksmanship and everything they design, including this parka, is purely with the wearer in mind. With total compressiblity, dual zippers, water-repellent fabrics, and due to fact it provides serious warmth in wet, cold weather the Stratus Belay Parka is now heralded as one of the best cold weather belay jackets for frigid weather climbing and activities. At this time it is no longer made by MAMMUT and the remaining stock is hard to find online.I paid $180 for it a few months ago, get it now for less. CONDITION: Like new, clean and execellent condition as you would buy it at the store. It has all tags. There are no stains, odors, tears, abrasions, broken zips, clips anywhere on this jacket. It was washed once with NikWax's Waterproof detergent. This jacket is wind-proof and water-repellent as the day it was bought.

Light and compressible, it's hard not to take this jacket on every adventure. -MICRO Lite Tex microfiber outer shell is windproof and highly water-resistant -Insulated with 240 g of high-performance MTI filling to keep you warm at every belay -Only 31 oz. in weight and highly compressible/packable -Helmet-sized attached, adjustable hood -Two handwarmer pockets with hooded zippers and stretch-mesh lining -Vertical zip chest pocket -Two roomy inner net pockets -Thumb loops and back-of-hand warmers -Lycra® cuffs Asking $100 or best offer.

I was online this summer looking to replace my heavy one piece TNF goretex suit with a lighter bib for ice climbing & other snow ventures. I couldn't find any decently priced technical bibs but I did come across this article about gear that was most interesting. For me it basically speaks volumes about the way outdoor gear manufacturing has become mostly a profit making industry for companies and less of a "catering" industry for people like you and me (I think there should be a healthier balance). read on... These are currently the only decent bibs I could find online and they go as low as $425. It sucks that the Prada of the outdoor gear companies, Arcteryx, makes and prices them.

DO NOT GET THE Osprey Switch!!!! I had that pack for a year and found it to be one of the most useless packs for anything other than snowboarding. I sold my switch 45 on eBay in December and got a Lowe Alpine Snow Attack 50. At 50 liters it is a little big, but it compresses well down to daypack size and will carry everything you mentioned above... see below. Compared to the $189 price tag of the Switch, the Snow Attack cost me around $99. My useless Switch 45 that I got rid of(purely for snowboarding)

MAMMUT Taku Pants! Any lighter and you'd think you were naked! I had gotten two pairs by accident and sold one last fall on eBay. Retail you can prolly find these for around $99 or less if on sale.

I'm curious as to what size show you wear. I also have the Vertecals and found them to fit perfect in the correct size that I wear. I upgraded from my Degres and I admit I had all the problems you have with the Vertecals, but with the Degres. 1. Vertecals tend to fit more exact so no need to get a smaller size. In terms of width, I admit Verts are on the slim side and People I climb tell me they prefer wider, roomier Expeds over Verts because of that. These are things the store clerk should of told you. Unless you got them online. 2. I figure that Verts aren't as warm as I thought, but I've only worn them out in -25 weather and that was once this season and it wasn't during ice climbing. I usually climb above 0, not by choice but because of where I climb...so I never worry about cold feet. 3.Heel Lift is a personal thing and I find when other people say the get heel lift, I find it usually has less to do with the way my feet would fit in the same boots and more to do with the shape of their feet fitting in that boots. In other words, not a problem for me with the Verts, but I did complain about it with my old Expeds during winter hikes. I'm also looking for Intuition Liners for my Verts, but I've been holding out since I already spend way out my budget for all the gear I needed just to start ice climbing this season. I will say that I heard great things about mixing those Liners and Koflach boots.

Awesome pack! And light as well. I almost bought the same Vapor off the internet last month for ice climbing, but since the living rent-free at home days are behind me and I'm still paying off my grad school tuition I no longer care to spend more than $150 max on a 50L-60L size pack... I like Lowe Alpine packs because they perform well over the years and are torso fit friendly for the 18 to 20 inch torsos. I currently use a Lowe Alpine Ion HyperLite 60L pack that works as well in terms of being less than 4lbs when empty and hauling rugged & heavy gear securely as good as the more expensive packs-like the Vapor. I totally recommend Lowe Alpine packs since they are cheap and proven long-lasting packs. I can't tell you how many old schoolers I hike with that still use their 1994-1998 Contour 40 & 60 packs and on the same page how many noobs I hike with that bought newer $200+ super-wispy-light fabric packs with the fancy "air" suspension frames and copious strappings & clips (like the ones by North Face/Gregory) and only used them a few times before crampons or ice axes ripped thru the fabric or their packs just wore out after 1 or 2 heavy duty expeditions. The pack below is a super light Snow Attack 50L I bought at a closeout sale over the holidays and you can see the versatlity of the pack. It carries anything you need and then some. I used it once to haul the gear in the pictures and it worked perfectly for my 20 inch torso.

nah, I got an older model Lowe Alpine Ion 60 similar to the one you got.

please do go on...I implore,

Degres also have a cheaper built on the shell where the rubber rand would peel off on some of them after a few wears. In terms of Asolo boots, My first plastics were Asolo AFS that I got for a 2000 winter backpacking trip in the ADK. They were warm when temps dipped into the -20s, but I found the shell to be stiff and the fit to be tighter than average. Also the were a pain in the ass to put on and lace up in the morning. I upgraded to the Koflach Degres in 2003 and after a few trips I had no complaints with warmth, comfort and wear-ability for long periods. I upgraded to the Koflach Verticals last month specifically for Ice Climbing and I wanted a warmer boots after the upgrade I realized that the Degre plastice shells are definately cheaper built than the Verticals/Exped shells. I would have gotten Expeds, but they felt klunky on my feet and for the price I would have paid for them I would have bought the ultra warm & light VASQUE ICE 9000 which is hailed as the future direction for Plastic Boots technology. Too bad they were sold out everywhere when I was shopping around. I'm happy with the Verticals and recommend them over Degres and definately over any Asolo boots. This is what Koflach offers w/ manufacturer warmth ratings... And the super hard to find VASQUE ICE 9000 boots said to be warmer than all the other boots whiles being very comfortable & light.

shit! I almost bought this pack a few weeks ago for $200, but didn't get it because the price was high...for $150 I would have bought it though.. I ended up getting a similare Lowe alpine Snow Attack 50 pack for $120 which I no longer want because I got a free Lowe Alpine Ion 60 last week. Let me guess, the medium is really small-fit? I tried on the large and it was snug on me and I have a small/medium torso.

the distance from my belly button to the belay loop is average whiles the distance from my belly button to my neck is slightly shorter than average so the harness "feels" higher 'specially when its pulled on. yup the human body is a weird thing, LOL! below is an old scan (~1999) w/ the Dionysis Harness. you see the belt rides high on me (not as high as other brands tend to- exception being the Mammut harnesses I ordered that sits perfectly on me & I have to check out the adjama & meto ones you mention) when you compare to how the Mammut Focus in this link fits me 100% better and you'll see what i mean. http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/636418/page/3#Post636418

This was my back up harness for my old Petzl Dionysis back in the days until now. I just ordered two new MAMMUT harness that came in today and I don't need three. It is still in great condition, no fraying anywhere and clean all around. Very light, low on frills and makes a nice cheap backup or group-share harness for the one-time novices you drag along to try out rock climbing. Fits ALL Sizes. Asking $25 or best offer.

My climbing partner ordered new G14s online and somehow they shipped with Bott plates & Accordians on the crampons as well as an extra package of G14 Bott/Accordians on the side. It is obviously a packing error, but the company was not going to reimburse him the return shipping fees so he just wants to get rid of them. Asking $40 or best offer.

Thanks Aya, I used to swear by PETZL Harnesses and I wore out my favorite Dyonisis harness over a 7 year period. I'll definately check out the Adjama next paycheck. BTW. The Mirage Harness came today and it's not as light as it looks in the picture. The blue sections seem to be stiff and contributes to most of the wieght. My problem is I have a short torso (19-20 inches) for my height and most of the newer harnesses I tried on fit higher on my waist than I'd like except the MAMMUT "contour fit" harnesses, that is why I lean towards that brand.

I don't know about the toe bail, but I spent a longer time than I expected getting the yellow antibott plates on the front end!

Awesome, Someone I actually know is now famous! Danny's an awesome guy! If you guys get a chance check it out.

Thx. I already ordered it ($39 free shipping-eBay). I needed to replace my old Mammut harness that was too small for winter climbing (see yard sale). I sold that one and decided to buy two for future use. Another reason is I sometimes climb with people (/co-workers/gfriends/relatives/kidnapped Dunkin-Donuts clerks) that don't regularly climb and own gear so sometimes I share or lend out what I have. I never considered buying fixed leg loops even for sport. I'm aware of the weight savings being the key difference that claims to improve climbing and make consumers fork up more dough at the cashwrap. I'm sure the sweat that clings and drips off the average climber from climbing a few pitches weighs more that the two buckles combined on the adjustable leg loops. Hopefully, the Mirage will come before I go up to the catskills on Thursday so I can give it some sort of review.

I've been using the USA Mammut Focus, the one sold at REI, and I came across the European version of the Focus (its also called the Mammut Mirage in the USA) last weekend and it looks much more bad-ass and lighter...I'm just not sure about comfort and wanted to know if anyone can comment on it. It's also similar to the Mammut mana harness except the leg loops are adjustable on this one. (I want to do more sport climbing this year and thinking of picking it up specifically for that.) Thanks.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but with XP once you install the original factory CD on one computer, it prevents it from being installed on other computers. In fact, its difficult to reinstall it on the original computer if your computer crashes and you have to reinstall it. You need it to be brand new and never installed before. The sell them all over eBay for as little as $20. But whatever you do don't pay too much for it because Windows Vista comes out soon with new Windows Office packages that will pretty much make XP Office obsolete sooner or later.

I have the XP Professional Office w/Frontpage(it comes wioth Word, Excel, Outlook) It will be a CD copy with the code. Not sure how much to sell it for. I usually burn copies for friends. But let me know what you want...

well? what happened. is this sale still alive? I will BUY the Gliassades if the look like these below... meaning they are the 2006 edition.
