  Ultralight, super-packable down quilt; 26° F

  The Western Mountaineering AstraLite is a super-lightweight down quilt rated to 26° F. Perfect for shoulder-season backpacking or traveling, this quilt packs down ultra-small and has elastic cords to couple the pad to most sleeping pads (pad sold separately). Now updated with more breathable 12D fabric.

  The AstraLite is designed with a set of adjustable and removable pad straps that are compatible with any backpacking sleeping pad. When no gram can go unaccounted for, the straps can also be removed. Other features include a sewn-through footbox and an insulated draft yoke with elastic closure for maximum heat retention.

  Because the AstraLite is hoodless, it is important to pack adequate head insulation. AstraLite users should consider bringing a hooded puffy along if temperatures are likely to dip below freezing.

  This quilt is designed to be used with an insulated sleeping pad. If your sleeping pad is uninsulated or poorly insulated, this quilt will sleep much colder than intended. Make sure to check the R-value of your pad to ensure it is adequate for 3-season use.

  The AstraLite come in two lengths; the 5’8″ version is design for people at or below 6’0″ tall and the 6’4″ version is design for people between 6’0″ and 6’6″.

  Like all of Western Mountaineering's quilts and sleeping bags, the AstraLite 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.

8 Bucket-List Multisport Adventure Races
  How do you top a DIY full send? Make it a competition. Each of these races packs two to four distinct adventure sports into a single, grueling push. Some are sprints—think two to three hours of full-on effort. Others require up to 34 hours of unsupported navigation in backcountry terrain. Sound like your cup of tea? Add one of these...
Hiking Boot Meets Marathon Running Shoe: Deckers X Lab Enduro Max Review
  At first, the whole concept behind the Deckers X Lab Enduro Max seemed a bit far-fetched to me. A hiking shoe combined with a mountaineering boot and a marathon runner? I suppose if HOKA and La Sportiva had a shoe baby, it might look something like this. But it took me some time to warm up to the idea of...

The Best Bike Phone Mounts of 2024
  These days, between navigation apps, music streaming services, and social workout platformslike Zwift and Strava, many cyclists rely on access to their phones while seated in the saddle.

Modern smartphones aren’t cheap, however, so...
The Perfect Green Lawn Is the American Dream. But It Shouldn’t Be.
  For most of my life, I’ve bought into the popular mindset that a perfect green lawn is somehow virtuous. Who doesn’t love the smell of fresh-cut grass? Those pleasing, perfect diagonal stripes? That plush, immaculate emerald carpet that beckons bare feet and promises carefree summers? Although I love and actively seek out nature and wild places in my life, the...

The Best Bike Lights of 2024
  The best bike lights on todays market have come a long way since their early years.

Nowadays, you can get the same number of lumens —...

Finally, an E-MTB You Can Afford: Aventon Ramblas First Look Review
  The Aventon Ramblas, which sells for a reasonable MSRP of $2,699, is interesting for several reasons.   First, the bike marks Aventons first official foray into pure mountain biking.
