  Ultralight hammock underquilt; 20° F

  The Western Mountaineering SlingLite is a luxurious and ultralight hammock underquilt. The SlingLite fits most brands of gathered-end hammocks and weighs only 13 ounces. A down underquilt is simply the best way to ensure that body heat is retained throughout the night. The SlingLite is rated to about 20° F when coupled with comparable topside insulation such as a sleeping bag or quilt.

  Like all of Western Mountaineering's bags, the SlingLite 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.

From Laws to Licenses: The Essential Guide to Flying Drones in the Great Outdoors
  Outdoor lovers often balk at bringing ever more technology into the outdoors — but as I learned when field-testing a new drone, an eye in the sky can add fun and improve access to outdoor spaces.

Beloved CO Mountain Finally Caves, Will Charge Visitors to Park in 2024

The simple trick that will transform your swim kick
  While it seems like it should be one of the simpler skills to learn in swimming, improving the kick can prove to be quite the challenge for many triathletes.   While most of the speed and propulsion comes from the upper body in freestyle swimming, the legs can be important in assisting body position and well as creating some extra propulsion....

A quick trick for more swim speed
  All triathlons are races, and so it always comes down to speed, even in the longest races.You have to speed to compete successfully.   And while endurance training is rightfully the emphasis of most training programmes, some triathletes forget about speed altogether.Skill is also key, particularly learning to create more length with each stroke – but that gets overlooked, too.   So...
We’re Gifting $25,000 to This Life
  The nonprofit Youth Sports Alliance charges scholarship recipients $50 for five weeks of ski gear, transportation, and lessons in Utah’s Wasatch Valley. Sounds like a steal, right? That’s what YSA executive director Emily Fisher thought, too, when she first arrived on staff six years ago. Then she got to work.   It was 2017, and Fisher was at an introductory meeting,...
How to improve your Ironman swim
  The Ironman swim (3.8km) is less than 10% of the race, and it’s this fact that often encourages age-groupers, who are good bikers and/or runners, to move up to the longer distance.   If you asked age-group Ironman (IM) athletes to rate the relative importance of the disciplines, it may be something like this: 42% run, 44% bike and 14% swim....
How to get more out of your swim drills
  There are some great drills than can make a huge impact on your swimming.And it’s my recommendation that you focus on using the best drills rather than using lots of different drills.
