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.

‘Ultra 200X’ Makes This Pack Ultralight, Tougher Than Dyneema: Durston Kakwa 55 Review
  It was nearing the end of our third day on the Colorado Trail outside of Molas Pass, and unfortunately, we were getting pummeled with rain. We decided to stop just before treeline in case the storm persisted overnight to quickly set up camp. Carrying ultralight backpacking kit typically means suffering through trials like this: maybe its a thin foam pad...
Mount Everest 2025: Fewer Fatalities, Dangerous Winds, and Rapid Ascents
  The official end of the 2025 springtime climbing season on Mount Everest fell on Friday, May 29. The occasion was marked by a message of thanks on Instagram from the Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee, the non-governmental organization that handles trash on the mountain. In one of the video clips, a team of climbers ascends the Khumbu Icefall a familiar gusts...

‘Active-ism’ Trips Turn Paying Guests Into Park Activists
  Many outdoor advocacy groups see Americas national parks as facing a political crisis. DOGE and President Trumps administration have openly targeted the National Park Service (NPS) with sweeping layoffs, budget cuts, office lease terminations, renewed mining leases, ending diversity-focused internship programs, and more.   Thats why Intrepid Travel just launched its new Active-ism trips. On June 3, the travel company announced...
Pop-Up Penthouse: James Baroud Odyssey RTT Review
  The James Baroud Odyssey is one of the best-designed, highest-quality rooftop tents you can buy. If you’re a camper who plans to spend a lot of nights in your RTT in a range of weather, this tent is worth the price.   Sometimes it isnt obvious why one Rooftop tent costs twice as much as another. Ive tested and reviewed RTTs...
‘A Stake in the Heart’: Trump Proposal Threatens Land Access Across the Country
  During the height of the pandemic, President Donald Trump signed one of the most important pieces of legislation of his first term. It was August 6, 2020, and Trump held a ceremony in the White House passing The Great American Outdoors Act into law.   This historic victory for conservation was decades in the making. The overwhelmingly bipartisan legislation permanently funded...
The Beer Drinker’s Guide to Yosemite
  Yosemite National Park is many things, but subtle ain’t one of them. This gem of a park straddling the crest of California’s Sierra Nevada hits you over the head with its scenic grandeur. Yosemite’s towering granite domes, thousand-foot-tall waterfalls, wildflower-dotted meadows, and skyscraping sequoias are the stuff of national park dreams. And even though it’s one of the country’s most...
The Best Bike Locks of 2025
  A quality bike lock is the best investment you can make to protect your bike from theft, but like so many pieces of outdoor gear, there’s seldom one “best” item, making it tough to know what to purchase. Choosing the right lock depends on several factors, including where you park, how long you plan to leave your bike unattended, and...
Lie Flat on the Ground or in the Air: Haven XL Hammock Tent Review
  I’ve spent many nights in a standard sling-style hammock. For a long time, I believed that sling hammock camping was the pinnacle of outdoor sleeping, as its ergonomic, comfortable, and minimalist. But recently, I discoveredthe Haven Tent hammock, and Ive realized thatthose sling hammocks were just an evolutionary step to the next (more refined) expression.   I’ve taken various versions of...
‘It’s a Gem’ on a Budget: Johnny Morris Platinum Signature Spinning Reel Review
  Throughout my life, Ive gone back and forth on purchasing store-branded products. Back when I was in high school, flipping burgers to fund my outdoor pursuits, I purchased a lot of private-label items like the Johnny Morris Platinum Signature Spinning Reel because they were cheaper than everything else.   Then, I became a professional guide and turned into a gear snob....
Minimalist Aesthetic, Pockets Galore: Bluffworks Envoy Lightweight Travel Pants Review
  My greatest fear surfaces in a deep panic before a big trip: “Did I pack the charger? Do I have my passport? Did I stop the mail?”Outside a spreadsheet stacked deep with satisfying checkboxes, the key to traveling stress-free is keeping my kit organized. Transitions between destinations flow more easily when everything has its place, especially with my need-to-haves.   Sure,...
