Sycamore MF
$555.00 - $575.00
Description

  Roomy and light with a hood; 25° F

  WM sez: "It's your third day on the Colorado and you've been running rapids for as many days. The Grand Canyon looks different from a raft! It's a special place with an ancient Puebloan ruin just up the draw... If you can climb out of your Western Mountaineering Sycamore MF early enough, you might just see it before breakfast... With plenty of room and a hood just in case, the semi-rectangular Sycamore MF is made with our 1.2 ounce MicroLite XP™ to provide that extra margin in weather protection. Filled with 17 oz. of our high-lofting down this bag with 5" of loft is rated to 25° F. It sports 62" of girth at the shoulder and 46" at the foot. Not only will it zip to our mummy bags, but the zipper around the foot section lets it open up flat to be used as a comforter... This is the river runner's dream! This bag was formerly known as the "Hooded Aspen MF". Nothing about the bag has changed except its name." (Hard to improve on that description!)

  Like all of Western Mountaineering's bags, the Sycamore MF 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.

The most recent incident occurred Friday morning, causing Colorado Parks Wildlife (CPW) officials to issue a renewed warning to residents and visitors.

The 10 Most Fuel-Efficient 4×4/AWD Pickups of 2024
  We want it all from our pickup trucks. Maximum towing, maximum payload, maximum comfort, and, of course, maximum power.   But gas isnt cheap, and that means things are changing. Instead of getting the most of everything, were looking at getting the most for our dollars at the gas station. That means were looking at trucks with the lowest numbers —...
This Is the Best Portable Air Compressor We’ve Tested
  Most people who spend time driving their rig off pavement know the benefits of letting air out of their tires (also known as “airing down”), but I’m willing to bet that they don’t do it as often as they should.   I’m guilty of this even though I’ve written about overlanding and off-road gear for nearly a decade. Why do we skip...
The ‘World’s Toughest Row’ Meets the Wildest Story in Rowing
  When a pair of best friends in the U.K. decided to row across the Atlantic Ocean, its safe to say that expectations were low. For Charlotte Harris and Jessica Oliver, the idea of joining this grueling, 3,000-mile race across the worlds second-largest ocean just sounded like a fun challenge.   Harris and Oliver had no rowing experience, unlike many of the...
Performance Trail Running Sandals? Teva Aventrail First Look Review
  This spring, you may want to ditch the laces on your next trail run. Teva, the sandal brand known best in the last few years for its festival presence and lifestyle lean, returns to its performance roots with the launch of what it calls the world’s first high-performance trail running sandal — and I received a pair for a first...
Patagonia Refugio Daypack 30L Review: The Perfect Pack for Outdoorsy Professionals
  Picture this: Your coworker invites you out for a scenic hike, but all you bring to the office is your briefcase, which can hardly fit a rain shell, let alone a Nalgene or hiking shoes. This is where the Patagonia Refugio 30L Daypack comes into play.   Both a laptop backpack and hiking daypack, this bag combines the functionality of a...
This Is the Best Way to Start an Adventure Story
  You don’t have much time to grab people’s attention nowadays. This is one of the things I emphasize in my annual writing workshops, before we read through a handful of first sentences that do just that—grab our attention, make us sit up, engage, and dive into the rest of the story. One of them, which I have memorized: “We are...
Extremely Rare White Bison Born in Yellowstone National Park
  If photography often boils down to being at the right place at the right time, then Erin Braaten hit the jackpot last week. The outdoor photographer was traveling in Yellowstone National Park last Tuesday when she caught an indelible moment: a white bison seeing the world for the first time.   Though Braaten missed the actual birth by just a few...
‘Brush To Mountain’ Hunting Pants: Old-School Durability Meets Modern Tech Comfort
  First impressions are hard to overcome, and when I first opened the package containing Forlohs latest product, I scratched my head and thought, huh, they look like Fjallravens. And, well, the similarity in appearance to some of Scandinavias top pants is rather uncanny.   Forloh shares a lot with the Swedish icon. But its new Brush To Mountain Pro (BTM Pro)...
Reasons to Love Running in Chicago
  “Chicago is one of the best places in the world from May through October, with all its festivals and events,” says Dave Zimmer, “and the running scene is vibrant year-round.” The Chicago-area native should know. Zimmer and his wife, Lisa, spent the last 28 years opening Fleet Feet stores across the city. And though he admits, “you have to be...
Rescue in Mazama After Eight Climbers Get Stranded in Snow
  A recent story about a search-and-rescue mission in Washington State highlights an important lesson for rock climbers. When attempting your first multi-pitch route on a big wall of rock, its best to keep your climbing party small.   According to the Methow Valley News, on Tuesday, May 21, a group of eight climbers from Illinois and Indiana attempted to ascend a...
Climbing Sends and Skiing Starts
  The competition continues on Ultimate Mountain Athlete, presented by the 2024 Toyota Tacoma, with the conclusion of the climbing stage. We see who had the top sends for podium spots, then move up to the alpine proving grounds of the Colorado high country. On Red Mountain 3, the altitude takes its toll as the athletes race head-to-head in a Vertical...
