How will these hold up as alpine ski pants? Are they water resistant enough?
Bill Porreca, Gearhead
Not well, they will fend of some snow that may splash up on you but, they will fail miserably in heavy wet snow or rain.

Looking at these for downhill ski pants. How will they hold up in wet conditions?
Will these pants fit over top ski boots?
Great pant for hiking and snowshoeing
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
- Fit:True to size
I have used these on my last two hikes and the pants performed fantastic. One hike in the rain and the other in freezing temps both times I was warm and dry along with a under layer,very durable and not restrictive.

Are these pants available in medium? I am 5'11" and weigh 185lbs with a 34" waist. I think that the large will be to big on me.
Wayne Christoffersen, Gearhead
I agree with you. I think that the Large would be too baggy on you and the Mediums would fit you perfectly. We should hopefully be getting these restocked in the next couple weeks so please keep checking back as we should be getting your size in shortly.
I'm trying to figure out what size I should...
I'm trying to figure out what size I should go with on these. I am 5'10, 160lbs, 32 waist, and 30 inseam. I want a more athletic fit without it being too baggy. I fit in a Medium in most pants but feel it might be too big in these. What should I do?
Normally I would call that a medium too but Norrona's sizing is a little different as you can see from the chart listed with this product page. I would suggest a small in the Norr�na Svalbard Flex1 Softshell Pant for you.
Great Outdoor Utility Pants
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
- Fit:True to size
I have only used these for hiking and climbing, and have even started using them for casual use to keep my legs warm on cold nights, but these definitely are great pants to have. Warm, durable, water resistant, flexible/non-restricting, overall comfortable pants to wear. These are great for any outdoor adventure you may find yourself in. I suspect they would also make great ski/snowboarding pants, but I have yet to try them out in this function. This combined with the Trollveggen Stretch Tights would make an excellent snow combination I feel. I will try it out next time I get a chance to go skiing.
bargain price
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
- Fit:True to size
now for a bargain price!! these perform really well, are super comfy and wear well - size 34 pants, bought a L - 177cm's tall
Hey Shawn Cash, You said you have a 32"...
Hey Shawn Cash,
You said you have a 32" waist and you use the Medium in these pants. Do they fit really loose around the waist for you, or do they fit reasonably well with a little adjustment to the waist straps? Thanks.
Not Shawn Cash, but my two cents - I have these - i am a 33 and the pants fit me perfect (at least how I like them to fit) - if you are a true 32 the waist straps will be adjust just fine - if you like a Patagonia/Westcomb sizing (running a bit large) keep in mind these are euro fit (which I like cuz there isn't extra material flapping away)...for my money Norrona (as far as fit) and Westcomb (as far as materials) are where it is at these days
I like the design of these pants but I...
I like the design of these pants but I have a question about the warmth. I plan on using these for ice climbing, alpine climbing and backcountry skiing, primarily in NH. I plan to were a smartwool midweight baselayer underneath and I have a pair of lightweight shells that I pack (but rarely put on). I know warmth depends on the person but if someone who has used these could give me an idea of wind resistance and insulation beyond what is said in the description I would be grateful.
Well, they are not Winter pants so you absolutely want to wear something under. I'd say you can use them without anything under up to +5�C.
Backcountry skiing? If you mean Nordic skiing, then they might do the job for you but if we talk deep powder here - you should get real ski outfit my man.
But anyway, you talk about activity in cold temperatures here so if I were you, I would buy something warmer.
They are perfect between Summer all the way through Fall.
I just put them down to my wardrobe for the Winter time.
The bottom line:
Seriously great pants, but not for Winter activities.
Hope that helps.
Depends upon how hot you run. If you're ripping bong hits and kicking the hacky sack between powder laps you might get chilly but if your moving and actually skiing, these pants are awesome. I wear them with only a wind brief down to 10 F and then with a light layer below that. Great high output winter pant.
I am 32 waist and 32 inseam. What size...
I am 32 waist and 32 inseam. What size should I go for? Mtks..
A small would fit your 32" waist, but only measures 30.5 inseam (it also appears to be out of stock), A medium has a waist measurement of about 34", with a 31.5 inseam.
A medium would probably fit fine, although it might also be excessively loose around the waist. Norrona products tend to fit smaller.
I am a 32" waist and 30 inseam and I use a medium and they work just fine. If you are feared that you will have too much waist space remember that these pants can be tightened up 2 different ways: waist straps are provided on the pants, and they have belt loops! I would not go small because of your inseam, go medium:)
Don't forget suspenders!
I'm curious about the accuracy of the...
I'm curious about the accuracy of the colors depicted in the photos of these pants. I saw a video on the Norr�na website of the "supernova" color, which looked darker and more grayish then the still pics. In particular, I'd like to know if "space" is a good representation, or if the actual color is closer to navy or something other shade of blue.any help would be appreciated.
It is just a touch darker than the space picture on here, just a tiny bit.


text: Dave Krizman courageously points out in his Dec. 30 (sports) column that Colfax routinely opens the Kendall Arnett facing Del Oro. Now I can understand that Coach Mark Lee organizes the tournament to give Placer the best possible chance for success (a long-standing tradition by host teams, and one perfected by Lee). But only his psychiatrist could explain why it is more important to see Colfax defeated in the first round than to see a full house watch Colfax face Del Oro in prime time during the second round. Colfax has had significant basketball success over the last several years, and despite a number of heart-breaking first round losses (do you remember the "clock malfunction" overtime loss in 2007?), they have used the "Kendall Curse" as a rallying cry to carry them deep into the playoffs. In fact, from 2005 to 2007, Colfax entered every Kendall Arnett undefeated, lost every first round game, and in each case ended up playing for the section championship in early March. In this time of economic crisis, there are a lot of bad ideas being floated about, and in fact our government has enacted most of them. But the one idea that won't cost taxpayers a cent and will stimulate the local economy would be for Coach Lee to follow Krizman's excellent advice and pair Colfax against a more appropriate opponent in the first round. Mira Loma, for example. Leonard Iventosch, Weimar

I don't do western pleasure, and the paint I'm working right now is not bred for it. She does not have the attitude or the conformation. So I'm not expecting her jog to be super slow, her head quite as low, or it to be as smooth as a real western pleasure horse.
But I would like some tips on how you all have improved on your horse's jog. Like I said, she's not bred for it and I would never expect her to have the ideal jog for western pleasure but I would like her to be able to jog along nicely and slower, with a lower, relaxed head.
What's worked to improve your horse's jog?

Apartments in Clay, MO
Ever wonder about that old argument, "nature or nurture?" Is it a person's environment or his genetic makeup that causes him to become a criminal? Clay County, Missouri allows visitors some insight into the question with tours through the home of famous outlaws Frank and Jesse James.
Jesse James, son of a Baptist minister, was born in this home in 1847. At 16, he followed his older brother Frank into the Civil War. When the war ended, Jesse returned home and began the life of an outlaw. His boldness as a thief and the publicity he garnered from the media soon made "Jesse James" a household name.
The museum displays James family artifacts including Jesse's boots and Frank's surrender letter. Guests can view the artifacts and walk along the creek where Frank and Jesse spent much of their time.
Clay County, Missouri has a population of 221,939. The county was organized in 1822 and was named in honor of Henry Clay, US Representative from Kentucky, later Senator and US Secretary of State.
The county was settled primarily by migrants from Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia. They brought slaves with them and began to cultivate crops they knew, primarily hemp and tobacco. Hence the area became known as "Little Dixie;" residents generally supported the Confederacy during the Civil War.
Clay County is part of the Kansas City metro area. Its county seat is Liberty. The county has a total area of 408.86 square miles, and is bordered by Ray County to the east, Jackson to the south, Wyandotte County, Kansas to the southwest and Platte County to the west. The median income for a household in the county was $48,347. Men searching for a wife will find the odds in their favor; for every 100 females 18 and over, there are only 91.80 males.
For those looking for outdoor recreation, the outlook is also good; Smithville Lake, with its 7,200 acres, features more than 175 miles of shoreline. Located just 20 miles from downtown Kansas City, the lake offers two swim beaches, 777 campsites, two full-service marinas including boat rentals, a dockside restaurant, two public 18-hole golf courses within the Paradise Pointe Golf Complex and 25 miles of walking/biking trails.

Proving there's plenty of both "Eco" and "Boost" within its advanced 2.0-liter EcoBoost I4 engine, the 2013 Ford Focus ST will deliver EPA grades of 23 mpg city/32 mpg highway/26 mpg combined to go with its 252 hp and 270 lb.-ft. of torque. That makes the Focus ST the greenest of the hottest hatches in today's marketplace, with better fuel-economy numbers than rivals like the Volkwswagen GTI or Mazdaspeed3.
According to Raj Nair, Ford group vice president, Global Product Development, it's "just one more example of the 'win-win' in the Focus ST narrative. This kind of performance combined with these high levels of efficiency sets a new benchmark with this car."
2013 Ford Focus ST: Hatchback Heaven
In recently announcing the fuel-efficiency ratings of the 2013 Ford Focus ST, the Blue Oval made some fairly interesting comparisons to past Foci: The previous-generation Focus, for example, could reach 35 mpg on the highway, but that was with an old-school I4 engine that made a mere 140 hp and 136 lb.-ft. of torque. But thanks to EcoBoost technologies like twin turbocharging and twin independent variable camshaft timing, the Focus ST provides 80 percent more horsepower and 98.5 percent more torque while seeing a reduction in highway fuel economy of just about 8.6 percent.
Yet, it's in comparison to hi-po hatchback rivals like the VW GTI and Mazdaspeed3 that the Focus ST really shines. Looking at manually transmissioned models—the Ford only comes with a six-speed DIY gearbox—the Volkswagen is actually pretty close to the Focus ST in terms of EPA ratings. The former, as mentioned, goes 23/32/26, and the latters manages 21/31/25. However, the GTI is well down in the power department, with 201 hp and 207 lb.-ft. of torque as compared to the ST's also previously mentioned 252 hp/270 lb.-ft.
On ye olde other hand, the Mazda's engine is a bit stronger, with 263 hp and 280 lb.-ft. of twist, but you have to give up 5 mpg in the city, 7 mpg on the highway and 5 mpg in combined driving to get it.
The Focus ST also has another kind of green advantage over this pair—it costs less money. The Ford is stickered from $23,700, while the Mazda opens at $24,000 and the Volkswagen (five-door) has an MSRP of $24,595.
2013 Ford Focus ST: In a Different Class
Now, with the sudden surge of interest in affordable sporty cars, some drivers will certainly be tempted to cross-shop the Focus ST against potential rivals from outside the traditional compact-hatchback class. But the Ford offers strong advantages even against the likely candidates here.
The Scion FR-S? Yes, it's a "true" sports car, with rear-wheel-drive and sleek styling, but its "2+2" interior is nowhere near as versatile as the Focus' cabin; further, even with the Scion's low curb weight, the Ford's 50 hp advantage and own svelte proportions give it a better power-to-weight ratio, while also enabling a small advantage with the EPA. Oh, and the Focus is more than a grand less expensive, with a massive advantage of 122 lb.-ft. of torque.
The Hyundai Veloster Turbo? Sure, it's almost $2,000 cheaper than the Focus, and capable of 30 mpg in combined driving, but again, this is a significantly less powerful car. Also, while the Veloster's smart packaging gives it a bit more interior space than the Focus, the Ford does have two full-size rear doors to make it easier to use—even though the Hyundai has that hidden third door on the passenger side.
The Subaru Impreza WRX? No, the Focus ST doesn't have an answer for the Subaru's full-time all-wheel-drive, but that system leaves the WRX with a price tag that's $1,895 higher than the Ford's, along with EPA marks of just 17/23/19. The numbers translate into a Ford bonus of 6 mpg city/9 mpg highway/7 mpg combined, and that's in addition to an extra 28 lb.-ft. of torque; the WRX does bring an added 10 more horses to the party, although much of that will be negated by the car's slightly higher curb weight.
The one clear-cut advantage all these other rivals do have? They're on sale now, while the 2013 Ford Focus ST is just getting to dealerships this summer.

Okay so I want to start to learn colour photography.
Developing film is easy, but I want to know if developing colour photos is worth it.
Like is it easier the more you do it? Do you lose a lot of paper/money in the process?
I would say no, but I'm sure others will say different.
Welcome to APUG.
Color film development is no harder than Black & White film development but the temperature must be higher and tightly regulated.
Color printing depends on the darkroom and its setup as well as your skill. The first time I tried it, I had great success because of the setup and initial help that I got.
Depends how you are defining "worth it". If you mean it in the sense of financially worth it then unless you do a lot of prints at 8x10 or bigger and are at least semi-mechanised with a machine like the Jobo ATL then the answer is probably not compared to getting a mini-lab do them. My local mini-lab uses proper RA4, is fully mechanised and can give me small prints (6x4) quicker and at a price I would have difficulty matching.
If on the other hand you mean worth the experience of learning how to do it and the satisfaction of looking at a print and saying "I made this" then yes it is worth it.
You won't waste any more paper than learning to print B&W and once you have the colour balance right then producing prints from the same set of negs exposed in roughly the same light conditions is if anything more mechanical and easier.
To give yourself a fighting chance I'd invest in a Jobo processor, a Duka or other type of sodium safelight and a colour analyser but if you enjoy a challenge then you can use trays with a water bath and manage without a Jobo, safelight or analyser. The key question is how patient are you and is the journey as important as the arrival?
Any learning process involves a bit of frustration, a bit of wasted material and quite a lot of time.
I actually never get it cheap enough doing it myself to make it's worth it in term of money. I use one shot chemicals while the labs replenish the chemicals. But it's certainly worth it because printing from a negative takes a lot of interpretation and because the lab techs didn't take the shot as well as they don't know what's my intention they can't make it just the way I wanted. Doing it myself allow me to get the results I wanted.
Developing the film isn't bad.
Printing isn't as fun for me for two reasons... 1. Getting the color absolutely right was maddening to me. 2. The magic of working under a safelight and seeing things appear on the paper is not there. You either develop in a drum or machine; go through a bunch of steps, and pull out a finished wet print.
I started doing color prints this summer and I think it's worth it. I use a drum and roller base and Kodak Ektacolor RA4 chemicals: RA Developer Replensisher RT to make 10 liters ($15) and RA Bleach Fix to make 10 liters ($15) that I use one-shot (I pick them up at Unique Photo, Fairfield, NJ). I don't use the starter. I've been using Fuji Crystal Archive II paper ($40 per box of 100 8x10 sheets).
Because you use only 60-70ml of pre-wash water, developer, bleach fix, and final wash water per 8x10 print, I place each of these in an 8 oz. plastic spring water bottle and adjust the temperature of each right before addition to the drum using a pot of hot and cool water and an LCD digital thermometer wire probe in the bottle. A good thermometer is the Extech TM20 and I calibrate it to a color thermometer. At 83F it's 30 seconds pre-wash, 2 minutes developer, 2 minutes bleach fix, and 1.5 minutes final water wash, per Kodak's instructions. I've done this at room temperatures between 66F and 82F with no time adjustment required due to any cooling of the drum over the 2 minutes. I don't get streaks so I do not need to do a stop and water rinse after the developer. I wash the print in a tray with running water at 68F +/- for 5 minutes. I think the prints are beautiful and I get excellent reproducibility doing the same print during different sessions.
Yes, it gets easier as you do more. I've done about 75% of my prints from the same film and paper without a test print, i.e., the filtration settings are constant in many cases and once you establish the exposure time you vary it proportional to the square of distance from the lens to the paper. You also begin to see slight color imbalances and how you need to correct them. Checking your whites is key. I see no need for an analyzer or viewing filters.
As far as cost, for an 8x10, it's $0.25 for one-shot chemicals and $0.40 for a sheet of paper. Most I can do without a test print so it's $0.65 per 8x10 print. For those requiring color filtration adjustments, figure $2.00 a print if you need to do 3 to get a final print, then subsequent copies are $0.65. This is less expensive than $8 for an 8x10 I've see a local pro lab charging.
For safety I wear lab goggles, nitrile gloves and make sure there is good ventilation. I don't plan to do color prints over the winter when the house is closed up. I use a waste bucket in the sink so I can highly dilute spent chemicals and rinsates before putting them down the drain. Covering this and laying caps on bottles helps a lot in reducing inhalation exposure to the chemicals and I've felt no ill effects.

Bills Patriots MNF Preview
AN UNDEFEATED FELL LAST MONDAY (CINCY), CAN NEW ENGLAND AVOID THE UPSET VS. BUFFALO?It's very difficult to run the table over 16 games in the NFL. Not only do the top teams invariably run into each other at some point. But, ANYBODY can rise up over 60 minutes and outplay a perceived power. We saw that last Monday night when the Houston Texans launched themselves back into the playoff picture with an upset of the then undefeated Cincinnati Bengals as a double digit underdog. Can the Buffalo Bills put a blemish on the undefeated record of the New England Patriots?That seems a bit tougher because New England is better than Cincinnati! But, there are quite a few extra intangibles in the mix...

Additional Information
White Spider™
When it's cold out, most rubber hardens up and loses its flexibility, turning your shoes into ice skates. White Spider Rubber was made to stay soft and flexible in freezing temperatures, leaving the ice-skating to the pros.
Mush® Infused Insole
Now we're not necessarily splicing Mush® genes back in the T.I.D.E Lab to build a hybrid mutant insole, but we do have an insole that's worthy of the Mush name.
- Our White Spider Rubber sole will help keep your face a safe distance from the ground when the temperature drops.
- Waterproof upper materials can handle getting wet.
- Our T.I.D.E. Seal waterproof membrane will keep your feet dry even as you plow through the snow.
- Leather and Suede Upper.
- Faux Sherpa Lining.
- A Mush® Infused Insole brings the absurd comfort of a flip flop into a shoe.
- A zipper on the side lets you get in and out quickly.

Comments about Figueroa WP:
I love these! They are so comfortable. I had to buy a half size up and they fit great. They are for slim calves. I have tiny calls so it's no issue for me. They have a rubber bottom which doesn't slip, and they are very warm. I can't say I've owned a more comfortable boot ever.
Comments about Figueroa WP:
I just ordered a pair of these boots and they are great - great quality, great look, great color. The downside, however, (I was worried about this) is that they are way too big around the calves. I got a size 8 (a 1/2 size up from my normal size as recommended, fits great in the foot). These boot calves definitely fall in with the increasingly popular vanity sizing that totally leaves behind people like me who just happen to be slim (not skin and bones mind, simply slim, and not particularly short either: 5'4 1/2"). It stinks! If boots were classified by their calves measurement, these would definitely be a large, so be warned!
Comments about Figueroa WP:
This boot is serviceable. While it lacks in arch support, it still is very comfortable. Some say faux shearing is cheap looking, the boot would cost a whole lot more if it had it. Visual the shearing does not bother me.
This is a warm comfortable boot, that will serve me well on cold days. It is not a snowboot, so for deep snow I'll have to buy something else.
I receive many compliments when I wear these boots. The crisscross on the side adds just the right chic element to an otherwise standard black boot.
