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.

  Sometimes you don’t even know what you’ve been missing out on until you try out something new, as is the case in this reviewer’s experience with the FORLOH Womens BTM Pro Pants’ knee pads. We’ll talk about a lot of the fit and function of these brush pants, but no aspect stands above the knee pad.   My spouse and I...
Alarm Spreads Over Amendment That Could Remove Park Protections
  A new attempt to safeguard national parks from losing federal protection and oversight is at risk of failure. Utah Sen. Mike Lee (R) —who proposed the sale of up to 3 million acres of public land this summer — introduced an amendment this week that would strip language from an appropriations bill that specifically outlines federal protections of all national...
Fight Fire With Sound: Sonic Tech Could Protect Homes From Wildfires

There Is Only One Women-Owned Heli-Ski Outfit in America — And They’re Family
  Mandi Blewett had been operating an angling lodge on British Columbias Dean River for a decade when the flood came. In 2010, record rains deluged the region, and the river spilled over its banks. The torrent was so violent that it altered the course of the river, which slithered toward their home and business.   It was running right in front...
A Look Inside Rejuvenated Toyota Arizona Proving Grounds
  Turn right here and then feel free to get up to 50 mph. That’s what Toyota Senior Engineering Manager Jakin Wilson said to me as I pilot a Tacoma Trailhunter through a lumpy dirt trail, replete with sudden peaks and troughs, terrain changes, and sweeping bends.   I gleefully rocketed up to 55 mph, maxed out the suspension travel, and worked...
Tailgate Debates: Hunters’ Perspectives
  Presented by Ram Trucks      In my hunting crew, we have a varied set of individuals who come from different backgrounds with wildly different experiences. We have friends who spend all year hunting, and others who do more fishing than hunting, but they also go out on annual big game trips.   Despite their differences, they have core commonalities: they are...
Tech-Heavy, Compact, and Inexpensive: Coast FL97R Headlamp Review
  As I shivered in the predawn darkness, the need for a caffeine hit was overwhelming. I was groggy and tired from back-to-back days of whitetail hunting, and prime time was fast approaching. My head wasnt in the game, and it needed to be.   Twenty feet in the air, I shifted in my tree saddle and started digging through my pack,...
Move Faster, Transition Quicker, Adventure Longer: Dynafit TLT X Review
  The moment it became clear was halfway up Teton Pass’s Taylor Mountain at sunrise. I was skinning in that quiet blue hour, expecting the usual ultralight-boot experience: a cramped toe box, midfoot pressure, and the slightly awkward stride I’ve learned to endure on big climbs. Instead, the TLT X moved with me. My stride felt almost too smooth for a...
Swiss Army Roller Bag: Victorinox Mythic Frequent Flyer Carry-On Business Review
  A roomy and tough carry-on bag is the only surefire way to prevent an airline from losing your luggage and sending your trip into a tailspin. As one of those weirdos like me who refuse to travel with checked luggage, I was intrigued by Victorinox’s Mythic Frequent Flyer Carry-On Business ($543).   Like the multitools that Victorinox is known for, there’s...
Mercedes-Benz Creates a Massive Luxury Unimog Pickup

If you want to outdo your army truck off-roader that has transformed into a $200,000 luxury statement, the only way to go is more.   Enter the most luxurious Unimog ever created. To mark 80 years of the truck that was half tractor and ultimate workhorse, Mercedes-Benz Special...
Wolves to Lose Federal Protections in Bill Passed by House
  Efforts to protect Americas gray wolf population have sparked debate for years — and soon those plans may face another obstacle. On Dec. 18, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that would remove the gray wolf from the Endangered Species list.   If passed by the Senate and signed into law, H.R. 845, the Pet and Livestock Protection Act,...
