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.

Why We Explore
  It’s the single most iconic vista in all of Newfoundland, all the more prized because it’s so hard to reach.

First Look: Danner N45

If that sounds like a tall order, it’s because it is, and most thru-hikers compromise by choosing comfort over durability, using trail runners that need to be replaced at least four times on...
Super Light and Surprisingly Sturdy: Dometic TRT 140 Air Review
  More than 1,500 miles from home, I opened my trucks tailgate and pulled out the two-burner stove. As I started cooking dinner, waves crashed loudly on the rocky shore, a stones throw away. It was 4:30 p.m.   Moments earlier, Id peeled off my wetsuit and booties, and the sun was setting along Mexicos northern Baja California Peninsula. A couple of...

Serious Security: The Modern Armored Car Includes Countermeasures and Electronic Encryption
