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.

GearJunkie Best in Show: ICAST 2024
  In a sea of baitcasting gadgets and saltwater fishing rigs, ICAST 2024 was hooked on the fly and deck boots. A once-tiny niche category at the Orange County Convention Center, fly fishing now dominates a wall-to-wall stretch of the show floor, including an indoor casting pond. Not only that, but it was a fly fishing brand that dominated the stage...

Forbidden Fruit Tested in Our Backyard: Kia Tasman Pickup
  What on earth is happening at Kia? Were not just talking about the wild graphics package/camo on the new Kia Tasman pickup truck prototype, but about a lot of what is going on in this teaser video.

‘Devastating’: Invasive Zebra Mussels Found in Colorado River

REI Co-op Flash Air 50 Pack Review: Ultralight for the Masses
  The first time I went backpacking, my pack and gear weighed nearly 35 pounds. I clearly remember thinking there had to be a better way to experience the outdoors without having sore shoulders the next day. Years later, when I thru-hiked the PCT, my base weight clocked in at 10 pounds and stayed there for the next 2,650 miles.   Ultralight...
