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.

Ultralight Pack Transforms Into External-Frame Heavy Hauler: Seek Outside Silverton 2300 Review

Hard Wear, No Tear: Zamberlan 1996 Voiz Lux Hiking Boot Review
  The mud, creek crossings, and patches of snow were unavoidable as we squished along the trail using our poles for balance. Our A-framed skis stuck up amid the surrounding willow bushes. Ahead, we could see our snow-covered objective, still miles away.   I glanced down at my mud-caked Zamberlan 1996 Voiz Lux Hiking Boots — an upgrade to the original launched in...
