Wow, thanks for all the sizing advice! Yeah, the Shak will probably be too small, but I don't really have a choice, so I'll see how it is when it arrives. Nice having an REI nearby...

One unforeseen consequence: Now you make me want to get the Carrie after all, after I'd gone to so much trouble to talk myself out of it. Not only that, because I can't decide which color is best, I could well wind up ordering two.

Or four, if I go with the suggestion of ordering two sizes to try them on.

You're all evil influences, you know that?

P.S. GLC1968 — you saw the REI sale on Carries, right? Only a few colors, but you can't beat half-price. Still kicking myself about missing the sale Natasha mentioned...
