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 Gear PCT Thru-Hikers Are Loving (And Ditching) This Year
  It isn’t that hard to find them in town. Thru-hikers are predictable — more animal-like in behavior than town and city folk. Burger stands are typical spotting grounds. Any cheap motel with the door wide open and sink-washed laundry on the railing is a likely habitat. Natural shade lures them in.   But the annual PCT Days is a next-level draw...
What Life in the Grand Canyon Tells Us About Life Everywhere Else, With Cindell Dale
  The River Guide is an outdoor archetype, a sunburnt romantic whose everyday existence is a bucket list adventure for the rest of us. They read inscrutable water, navigate person-eating hazards, and exude a natural connection to the canyons through which they guide us—and, in the Grand Canyon, all of that gets turned up to 11. Cindell Dale has guided “the...
The Wildest Spot in the Lower 48?
  Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks grab the headlines, but when it comes to raw nature, the jewel of Montana is the 1 million-acre Bob Marshall Wilderness. “The Bob,” as it’s affectionately called, was named for legendary conservationist Bob Marshall, who cofounded the Wilderness Society. No paved roads bisect The Bob, an area larger than Rhode Island, making it a vast...
Smart Design Upgrades, Easy Access, All-Day Comfort: Mystery Ranch Updates the Glacier Backpack
  It doesn’t matter how long you’ve spent walking in the woods; you inevitably have a favorite pack. It’s comforting, familiar, and the one you go back to repeatedly. Admittedly, I was reticent to give up on my favorite pack and put on Mystery Ranch’s Glacier pack. I was delighted when I realized this pack provides all my favorite features, plus...
We Tested the Redesigned 2026 Can-Am Defender Lineup: What Was Good Is Now Great
  UTV manufacturers love to shout “all-new” the same way gas station sushi shouts “fresh.” Most of the time, it’s a reach. A new hood shape and a tweaked badge do not equal a redesign.   Can-Am didn’t play that game. The 2026 Defender lineup actually changed. This isn’t lipstick on a bumper. The brand rebuilt the platform from the ground up....
Outdoor Brands Doubling Down on Used Gear to Offset Tariffs, Consumer Sentiment
  This summer, Utah-based DPS Skis launched an eyebrow-raising expansion of its resale program. Instead of just repairing its own skis for online credit, the small company will now issue credits for a used ski of any brand.   Its rare for brands to repair products from competitors — especially in the ski industry. Moreover, DPSs expanded repair program is unlikely to...
More Pockets, Minimal Weight: Deuter Speed Lite Pro 30L Review
  When I’m 2,000-plus vertical feet and 10 miles into a hike, the last thing I want to think about is the weight of my pack pulling me down. Luckily, as I hiked wearing the Deuter Speed Lite Pro, the thought didnt cross my mind. The pack was loaded with gear, but it wasnt slowing me up or weighing me down...
Too Good to Be True? BikeOn Unveils ‘CycleClick’ Clip-On Power Meter
  This story was originally published on Bikerumor.   BikeOn is shaking up the power meter world with the launch of CycleClick, a compact, clip-on device that claims pro-level power metrics with no tools, no crank swaps, no fuss.   Whats the catch? Its a wild design that connects to the chain and pulls all the data from the movement of the chain...
Bats in the Attic: NPS Contacts Grand Teton Lodge Guests for Rabies Risk Assessments
  If you stayed at Jackson Lake Lodge in Grand Teton National Park between May 5 and July 17, 2025, the Wyoming Department of Health (WDH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) might want to hear from you. The hotel discovered a bat colony in a shared attic of one building. The agencies are now coordinating risk assessments...
$30 Raffle Ticket Could Land You a One-of-a-Kind Gravel Bike, and Helps Repair National Forest
  If youve never visited Pisgah National Forest outside of Asheville, N.C., youre missing out on a special place. With rich offerings of hiking, camping, and cycling, its beloved by locals for good reason.   But maintaining such a wealth of outdoor recreation isnt cheap —especially after the widespread damage caused by Hurricane Helene last year.   Luckily, a new nonprofit emerged just...

RallyCrew: The Whitewater Community’s New Digital Eddy
  Since the popular Boatertalk forum shuttered in 2020, there hasnt been a central meeting point for whitewater paddlers. But, on Thursday, August 21, 2025, a new home for the whitewater community will be available to all. Its called RallyCrew.   The whole idea behind RallyCrew is to create a global platform for whitewater paddlers — kayakers, canoeists, rafters, packrafters, and SUPers...
