Hi there, i've got just a question. Can I use the O'neill Thermo X 13 Oz for kiting instead of the westus in Summer?

Hi Giulie, I got these for my grandson for lifeguarding. As long as you aren't dragging them in the sand/rocks on take off or landing they should be find.

I use mine for doing laps in the pool in the winter. Even though I am inside sometimes the pool is still a little on the cool side. Keeps me nice am warm. Also I bought the men's shirt because the sleeves are a little longer than the women's and fits a lot of better.

I have the West Loop and it will keep things cold or warm for about 3-4 hours as it transitions to room temp. Good quality products!

Honestly- I don't know. We live in Michigan and used on something that we be in the house. It gets hot in here in the summer- but definitely not that hot. Sorry- wish I could give you better advice.

Hi, I had no problems with that aspect of using the product. I think that their instructions are probably based soley on legal advice. Hope that helps. I sure wish someone else would make a product similar to this, but BETTER. I bought my third unit a few months ago (the first two became inaccurate and inconsistent), and now that registers about 5 degrees warmer than the actual temperature. It's consistent, so I can work with it still. But the day will come again soon when it stops working ...

This one seems too small. The Presto site discusses canning. A cooker with a pressure gage would let you make sure I got it hot enough.

I used water instead. It is much easier and does the trick. Don't fill it completely full. Leave a little room for expansion. I have had temps down to -22F and it is still with the original water from years ago. I have had extremely high winds as well.

I know that the manuals will tell you to only use Primus canisters, but any with the same thread size is really okay. Some other brands are SnowPeak, MSR, Coleman, and others will work just as well and are just as safe.

K., Jesse has it right. Isobutane canister you find at most camping/backpacking stores. I use MSR ISOPRO for my fuel, but this stuff is available in lots of stores under different names. Screw it on, fold out pot supports, turn on gas using little wire handle and light. Your water or whatever will be happily boiling in a few minutes. Adjustment is smooth and easy using the little wire handle to get the amount of flame you want. When your done just unscrew and pack up but obviously wait a few minutes till it cools down. I purchased one of these for everyone in my family. I works and seems to hold up over time but I tend to baby my stuff since I hate to re-buy things once I get used to using them.

i use the 4oz clear flip top container found here http://www.arrowhead-equipment.com/cooking-gear.html (it's about 2/3 of the way down the page you will see many sizes) There are probably alot of similar things on amazon. I like the 4 oz for an overnighter or 2 day trip. 1oz of fuel will boil water fairly easily in most alky stoves. I take several 4 oz the more days I go but you could just get a bigger one. I make little hashes with a sharpie to let me know where an ounce is. Might want to experiment outside in normal cold and windy conditions and just see how much fuel it takes to boil and use that as your hash. good luck! i use the 4oz clear flip top container found here http://www.arrowhead-equipment.com/cooking-gear.html (it's about 2/3 of the way down the page you will see many sizes) There are probably alot of similar things on amazon.

Sure E.CauPulog I can rely to that. The one I bought can take 60 ml or 2.0 oz.

It's really going to depend. If youre quick with a steady hand 350C is good, 300C is probably on the lower end.

Jose has a point, but thermal isn't for laps. I have a variety of wetsuits including a plain neoprene short suit with long sleeves and a sleeveless 3/4" terry lined suit for California Deep Diving. This shirt you want is perfect for laps, so what if it is ALSO UV protection, it keeps drops of water off your arms as you lift them from the pool so cold air doesn't hit your wet arms, thus you stay warm. UV is a bonus but not your focus. Treat yourself, O'Neill has a great reputation !!

I am not an expert, but if you don't need the all weather kit in Alaska where do you need it. The difference in price is not that much, so why not be safe and go all-weather.

I did mine in the summer, but I think I remember the instructions say above 55 or maybe between 55 and 85 degrees. I would not try below 55 in any case.

hey rosems...looks liquid cooled so your going to want to actually go to the trail tech home page and look for the universal fit kit that matches your machine's parameters, and just fugue for some degree of custom mod to the speed-o pickup....the differences in the Vapor kits are all in the included types of sensors that intemperate the machine to the digital dashboard common to all Vapor kits....so your looking at the wrong kit for your application, but i am certain there is one...i am not, however going to tell you which one it is or i am going to be expected to do that for everyone, and i don't work for trail tech, so that's not my job.... rulgert

I use mine in a "changing tent" I would worry the extra weight would not be well supported. I usually carry an extra 5gl covered bucket of water for refills. Melteld cooler ice works great also, just let it warm in the bag 1st.

I would suggest that you check with Thermos corp. They should have a website.Good luck!
