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.

Ultramarathons: The 15 Stages of Suffering
  Ive run a handful of ultramarathons, and while Im far from the most experienced guy on the starting line, Ive noted some common threads from races and conversations with many runners.   Each ultramarathon is a unique journey into an abyss of pain, suffering, and uncertainty. But when running an ultramarathon, defined as running more than 26 miles in one go,...
Put Your Favorite River on Your Reel: Abel x onWater Custom Reel Review
  Over the last couple of seasons, I’ve found myself spending more time with conventional fishing setups and bass boats and less time wearing waders and throwing flies. My job, proximity to good streams, and other factors have all played a part. But it hit me how badly I miss the serenity of fly fishing and the escape it provides from...
Ultralight Jacket Packs Alpaca Fiber Insulation: PAKA Mayu Review
  Whenever I pack for a fall backpacking or climbing trip, I always go back and forth about whether I should bring one item: a puffy jacket. Carrying one takes up space and adds some (arguably negligible) weight. During shoulder seasons, I often wonder if it’s really worth bothering.   After testing the PAKA Mayu Ultralight jacket, however, my internal debate over...
Top Hiking Shoe Gets GORE-TEX ‘Invisible Fit’ Update: Oboz Katabatic LT Low GTX Review
  Its not often I seek out trails with puddles and creeks, but thats what you do when testing out low-cut waterproof hiking shoes. Its an important part of my search for a hybrid shoe thats dialed for hikers, and not necessarily for ultra runners.   The Oboz Katabatic is a great example of a boot brands take on the hybrid hiking...

Is the ‘World’s Lightest Rooftop Tent’ Just a Ground Tent for Your Roof?

Thats where Groenberg comes in. The upstart brand is looking to upend the rooftop tent market with the WEEKEND, which it says is the lightest model on the...
Electric Gyro Holds Your Boat Steady When the Ocean Gets Ugly: Dometic DG3 Review
  There are plenty of things you expect to fight offshore: Wind. waves, the occasional bout of seasickness. But your own balance should not be one of them.   The Dometic DG3 is a compact, all-electric gyrostabilizer designed to counter boat roll and keep you steady when the ocean tries to throw you around.   Before testing it, I figured this might be...
