Can I convert one of them to a left by simply flipping over the middle bar? question_276122 Sat, 12 May 2012 12:41:17 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/petzl-sama-harness-mens?CMP_ID=QRSS_276068#question_276068 Petzl Sama Harness - Men's<br /><br />I am stressed with the sizing! I am 90lbs and about 5&#39;1. i bought a S size Selena online (female version of Sama) but my waist is just at the borderline of the allowance (S Selena waist is 23.5-28&#39; and my waist is 27.5&#39;). I dont know if it is a design fault - but when i center the belay loop, with the waist belt pulled almost as tight as maximum, the back is off center a bit. I imagine if i wear a little extra clothing for cold days, or put on an extra couple pounds, I would have to loosen the belt of which then the back will be totally off centered. The leg loops fit comfortably though.<br />I would rather stay with the female version to try a M Selena but wondering if the S Sama will fit better (because the S Sama has the same leg loops as the S Selena whereas the M Selena has bigger leg loops than S Sama and S Selena)<br />Are there any female climbers who has tried the S Sama and found it a good fit?<br />Unfortunately, I cant get access to a store to try them on! question_276068 Fri, 11 May 2012 19:52:46 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/arcteryx-i340a-harness-mens?CMP_ID=QRSS_275944#question_275944 Arc'teryx I340a Harness - Men's<br /><br />I am struggling with sizing this harness. My measurements fall right between M and L. Would it be better to take M and hope that I will still get in with some thicker closing or go for L and hope that I will be able to tighten it up in summer? question_275944 Thu, 10 May 2012 10:36:52 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/sawyer-permethrin-trigger-spray-insect-repellent?CMP_ID=QRSS_275805#question_275805 Sawyer Permethrin Trigger Spray Insect Repellent<br /><br />I&#39;ve heard that DEET will chew through Goretex.

For example, I bought a Petzl MYO XP and it won&#39;t tilt down low enough. I need a headlamp that tilts almost straight down. Suggestions?

I can see a white fabric lining sewn into the toe box. Does this mean they will stretch as if they were unlined, or are they actually lined, non-stretchy shoes? question_275588 Mon, 07 May 2012 00:16:37 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/camp-usa-photon-screw-gate-carabiner?CMP_ID=QRSS_275532#question_275532 CAMP USA Photon Screw Gate Carabiner<br /><br />When these are in stock, how much are they? question_275532 Sun, 06 May 2012 14:40:45 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/evolv-shaman-climbing-shoe?CMP_ID=QRSS_275491#question_275491 Evolv Shaman Climbing Shoe <br /><br />hmmm:<br />&#149; I wear size 39 solutions, could go a little smaller.
