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.

Making Thanksgiving Dinner Doesn’t Have to be Stressful. Here’s What You Need to Know.
  I used to have a recurring dream in which I’m sitting on my mat awaiting instructions from a panel of my yoga teachers. I’m at an Iyengar yoga assessment, for which I’m completely unprepared. And I am terrified. After what seems like an eternity, they tell me my task: I’m to carve a Thanksgiving turkey right there on my mat...
Insulation Recycled From Climbing Ropes: Sender IN Hooded Jacket With LOOPINSULATION Review
  Insulated jackets come in a range of different weights, and I own a lot of them. I have light PrimaLoft midlayers that pack down into their own pockets.

Id...

  Mikaela Shiffrin’s journey toward her 100th World Cup win took an unexpected turn on Saturday when a crash during the second run of the Killington giant slalom sidelined the ski racing legend.

The 2024 Sweat Science Holiday Book List
  Nothing says “winter holidays” to me like the combo of a cold day, a warm fire, a soft couch, and a book. If you’re looking for some couch material—or gift ideas for the endurance people in your life—here are the books I’ve enjoyed most this year that fit with the general themes of Sweat Science.   The Inner Clock, by Lynne...
How to Visit Jackson Hole on the Cheap—You Just Need to Know These Tips

You can always venture away from the headliner areas to smaller, less crowded local ski hills that want to entice visitors through budget deals,...

$75 Smartwatch Provides the Basics, Not Much More: Armitron Quantum Review
  When Armitrons Quantum smartwatch arrived in my mailbox, I was stoked to start testing. This entry-level smartwatch seemed like a good fit for me.

I liked...

How Milkweed Inn Challenged My Idea of Food
  It’s not that I don’t like food. I do. I carry frozen cheesecakes on winter expeditions. They’re caloric and they don’t freeze hard, so you can bite off chunks without chipping your teeth. I once ate the same dead catfish boiled over a fire for three days. Was it good? Absolutely not. I like cardamom, snap peas, and Asian pears....
