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.

Garmin’s First Handheld GPS With Camera, Voice, and More: GPSMAP H1i Plus First Look
  Garmin handhelds have always been tough, reliable, and, honestly, a little boring. To be fair, the gadgets are tools, not toys.   But that may have just changed.   The new GPSMAP H1i Plus ($1,000) packs a built-in camera and microphone, so you can send photos and voice notes straight from the device without pulling out your phone. It certainly adds a...

Is Your Period Messing With Your Training? Here’s What the Experts Say
  If youve ever had a period, its natural to assume it affects your performance as an athlete: How could cramping, bloating, nausea, and exhaustion not influence how fast you run or bike?   If, however, you try to find information about this topic, it might as well be the wild west. Only very recently did scientific research begin to treat the...

Less Power, More Money, But Oh So Right: 2026 Ram 1500 HEMI Review
  Several feet away, with camera in hand, I stand on a massive patch of asphalt and watch the test driver WOT (wide-open throttle) the HEMI-equipped Ram. As his left foot still lightly rests on the brake, the rear tires start spinning furiously, roaring their way around a white cloud of tire smoke billowing from the roasting rear rubber. I capture...

Brilliant Elastic Lace System for Women’s Winter Boots: Stio Colter Review
  I live in Crested Butte, Colo., where winter easily reaches into three seasons. Its essential to have a pair of womens winter boots that are warm, waterproof, and easy to pull on and off. Of course, its important to find one with style, too. After testing the Stio Colter, I wish I could wear these sneaker-esque snow boots year-round.   When...
A Discreet, Functional Photography Pack: Brevitē The Jumper Review
  Not too many years ago, there was a distinct shortage of options for carrying photography equipment. Shoulder bags dominated the offerings, despite the fact that — in my experience —they simply dont work that well for most photographers. While I might love my Domke, its simply not the best choice for most of the situations I find myself in as...
How Running Helped One Family Recover From Unimaginable Loss
  When Lawlor Coe lost his brother Hunter to suicide, one of the ways he coped was by lacing up his joggers and running. At first, he was trying to elude his grief; over time he found that the physical suffering he endured on the trail helped him find a way toward peace and, from there, joy. After sorrow and anger,...
Simple, Comfy Headlamp That Gets the Job Done: BioLite Range Review
  Loons call through the falling dusk over an impossibly calm mirror surface of Lake One in Minnesotas Boundary Waters Canoe Area. I step away from the campfire and press a button on the top of the BioLite Range 500, the newest headlamp from a brand focused on comfortable lighting. A red glow illuminates the path to my food pack, where...
In Separate Events, Two U.S. Hikers Fall to Their Deaths
  Two hikers fell to their deaths in separate events at different popular wilderness areas in late August. The tragedies prompted rescuers to reiterate the importance of practicing safety on both technical and non-technical hiking trails.   After motor vehicle deaths and drownings, falls—usually while hiking—are the leading cause of accidental death in U.S. National Parks. Incidents like these highlight the importance...
