Description

  Roomy semi-rectangular bag; 25° F

  For those nippy desert nights when counting shooting stars is all you have to do, the semi-rectangular Western Mountaineering Alder MF is your bag of choice. Roomy enough for comfort and warm enough so you won't wake with a chill before dawn, the Alder has a 62 inch shoulder girth and a 46 inch foot girth. The Alder has a zipper along the side to mate with mummy bags and a zipper around the foot so that it can be opened flat as a comforter or zipped to Western's Summer Coupler (sold separately) to make a bed for two.

  Like all of Western Mountaineering's bags, this 25 degree sleeping bag is made by hand in San Jose, California. Their down is sourced from free-range mother geese who are never live-plucked or force-fed.

Footprint sold separately.

Buy It for Life: Is a $760 Carry-On Worth It?
  Until a few months ago, Id never heard of Saddleback Leather Company. But today, Im looking at a $760 leather duffel bag that appears to be from another century. The Deep Pocket Leather Duffle shines with heavy hardware and sturdy stitching that could have been inspired by the 1800s.   And frankly, barring some sort of over-the-top disaster, I expect itll...
Eternal Ice HD Pro Ice Bath + Chiller Review: A Durable Tub for the Great Outdoors
  Cold plunge and chiller combos often cost $3,000 or more, which is why durability should be a factor when considering one. Often, a chiller will go out, or the tub itself can crack or degrade over time, especially when exposed to the elements. A cracked tub can throw that $3,000 investment right out the window. Which is why, when I...
Colorado to Pause Gray Wolf Reintroduction Through 2026
  Since its inception in 2020, Colorado Parks and Wildlifes (CPW) gray wolf reintroduction program has been a hotbed of controversy. The plan to source wolves from Oregon and Canada and release them in Colorado has sparked criticism from livestock owners, as well as a split with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).   Now, the program has hit a major...
House Votes to Allow Mining Near Boundary Waters
  The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) in Minnesota is a popular spot with paddlers, hikers, and anglers. Soon, it may be opened for nearby mining, which critics argue will damage its pristine nature. On Wednesday, Jan. 21, the House of Representatives passed a bill to overturn a 20-year ban on mining in the area.   The Area      (Photo/Sean McCoy)...
Affordable Coziness for Downhill Resort Laps: REI Women’s Powderbound Insulated Ski Jacket
  I didnt need many ski runs to understand what the Powderbound womens ski jacket does best. Tested during an early-season weekend at Aspen Snowmass, I quickly realized its a comfortable, no-fuss resort jacket that prioritizes warmth and thoughtful attributes over technical bells and whistles.   And this is a good thing. The Powderbound is part of REI’s value-oriented ski lineup. It’s...
2026 X Games: How to Watch & When to Catch Free Music, Events
  This weekend, athletes and fans will descend upon Aspen, Colo., to watch one of winter sports most anticipated competitions of the year. From January 23 to 25, the X Games returns to Buttermilk Mountain for its 25th year. Skiers, snowboarders, and — for the first time since 2021 — snowmobilers will compete head-to-head for spots on the podium.   This year, all...
Bone-Dry Storm Gear for the Sopping-Wet Angler: Columbia Force XII Collection
  As a native Cape-Codder, foul-weather and chilly temps are arguably the two biggest challenges to enjoying my fall and winter fishing trips. While run-and-gun fishing offshore and getting clobbered by the rain and breakers from the beach, Fort Knox-level storm gear is the only way I endure the elements and keep fishing.   Enter the Columbia Force XII Collection, an iron-wall...
A Line We Shouldn’t Cross: Why Alex Honnold’s Live Skyscraper Climb Is a Step Too Far
  I like Alex Honnold. A lot. Not in the casual, “I watched the movie” way. I like Honnold, the person. I particularly respect something that’s rare in a modern celebrity: He’s exactly the same person on-camera that he is away from it.   The bluntness. The oddball pragmatism. The almost clinical way he talks about risk, fear, and effort. Most public...
Make Seamless Skin Track Transitions: Black Diamond Dawn Patrol 25 Pack Review
  Skinning up Cameron Pass, the cool crisp air blew through the trees, and snow floated above me. The new Black Diamond Dawn Patrol Pack fit seamlessly on my back as I cut a skin track up the mountain. The pack carried all my gear, clothes, and food — it was almost an extension of myself, moving freely with me as...
Keystone Snowboarder Dies After Accident on Black Diamond Run
  A man from Colorados Front Range died in a snowboarding accident on Keystone Resort on Monday, Jan. 19, 2025. Patrol responded to a report of a crash on Lower Go Devil, a black diamond run on the front side of the mountain. When they arrived, patrollers immediately started CPR on the victim and contacted emergency services and the Summit County...
Massive Range, Very Quick Charging, and AI Assist: 2027 Volvo EX60 Debut
  Following in the footsteps of the all-electric EX90 Crossover, which debuted for the 2025 model year, the 2027 Volvo EX60 arrives with the next-generation platform, computing power, and electric propulsion tech. You also see the latest evolution of the Volvo EV design signature with sculpted fender flares, grille-less upper front fascia, and — of course — Thor’s hammer daytime running...
The Next Great Knife Steel: What Is MagnaMax?
  In the last year, the knife industry faced some challenges that could have had some long-lasting impacts. From the closing of a primary U.S. steel supplier to threats of tariffs that disrupted supply chains and pricing, 2025 was, in certain regards, a hot mess.   During that time of unrest, rumors of a new super-premium knife steel started to float around...
