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.

Ballot Measure to Ban Lion Hunting Divides Colorado
  Colorado residents will have a new issue to vote on this November: whether to continue to allow the hunting of mountain lions and bobcats.

The group has already collected 188,000 signatures — 60,000 more than necessary to...

Soak It Up in Sage Country at These Off-the-Radar Nevada Hot Springs
  When most people think of Nevada, they picture seas of sagebrush or glittering casinos rising out of the desert. It’s true: Nevada has those things — but if you look just a little deeper into the heart of Nevada, you’ll find countless treasures awaiting discovery. And the crown jewels of these gems?

Trail of Terror: ‘Monarch’ Podcast Summons Creepy Horror-Hiking Genre
  Have you ever been hiking along a trail and had that distinct sensation of being followed? Its the moment when your sixth or seventh sense kicks in, and you pause, holding your breath, listening, and turning to check that no ones around.

Waterproof, Stretchy, Breathable: Black Diamond Recon LT Ski Pants Review
  My ski touring partner and I kicked steps into the imposing west face of a classic Gore Range peak. I paused to look up at the first rays of morning sunshine fanning over the ridgeline. The ascent was a mix of waist-deep facets under a breakable crust, front-pointing the face, and scrambling abrasive granite. On climbs like these, ski pants...
Lightweight 50/50 Ski Boots: Nordica Unlimited LT 130 DYN Review
  A ski boot that tries to be everything for everyone often ends up being good for no one. But buying two pairs of ski boots — one for the ski resort, one for the backcountry — is expensive. So, there’s obviously a financial reason to consider crossover ski boots. Like most hybrid ski boots, the Nordica Unlimited LT 130 DYN...
Better Fit for Better Skiing: Fox River Bootfitter Elite Ski Sock Review
  When my ski boots disappeared on my feet, I knew my feet, liners, and shells were working in harmony. My toes weren’t cold, and my feet weren’t slipping and sliding inside the liners. And that’s saying a lot — my feet are exceptionally challenging to match with ski boots.   Socks are the foundation of your winter skiing kit, and they’re...
Zippy Commuter E-Bike, Packed With Tech: Orbea Diem 20 Review
  There are e-bike cruisers that dabble as commuters and commuters packed with features like fat tires for off-road exploration. There are even full-tilt mountain bikes decked out with lights and racks for maximum versatility.   Among this littered field, the Orbea Diem is a much more purpose-driven machine whose components feel custom-tailored for urban commuting rather than skirting the line between...
Evolv Zenist Review: The Brand’s Softest Bouldering Shoe Delivers All the Feels
  Some bouldering shoes, especially ones aimed at competition or training, have become so soft that they feel like socks with rubber on them. Yes, they are so sensitive, but they also have almost no support and can disintegrate quickly under hard use.   I tested the Zenist exactly as its claims demanded. I trained in them on multiple home and gym...
Cold Feet No More: Sierra Designs Down Booties Review
  I take my foot warmth pretty seriously, especially after suffering the consequences of frostnip on my toes. Which is why I absolutely love a solid pair of down booties that are not only comfortable, but also sufficiently insulated for indoor and outdoor use. Cue the Down Booties from Sierra Designs, a pair of slide-ons with durable construction and a decent...
