  Ultralight, super-packable down quilt; 26° F

  The Western Mountaineering AstraLite is a super-lightweight down quilt rated to 26° F. Perfect for shoulder-season backpacking or traveling, this quilt packs down ultra-small and has elastic cords to couple the pad to most sleeping pads (pad sold separately). Now updated with more breathable 12D fabric.

  The AstraLite is designed with a set of adjustable and removable pad straps that are compatible with any backpacking sleeping pad. When no gram can go unaccounted for, the straps can also be removed. Other features include a sewn-through footbox and an insulated draft yoke with elastic closure for maximum heat retention.

  Because the AstraLite is hoodless, it is important to pack adequate head insulation. AstraLite users should consider bringing a hooded puffy along if temperatures are likely to dip below freezing.

  This quilt is designed to be used with an insulated sleeping pad. If your sleeping pad is uninsulated or poorly insulated, this quilt will sleep much colder than intended. Make sure to check the R-value of your pad to ensure it is adequate for 3-season use.

  The AstraLite come in two lengths; the 5’8″ version is design for people at or below 6’0″ tall and the 6’4″ version is design for people between 6’0″ and 6’6″.

  Like all of Western Mountaineering's quilts and sleeping bags, the AstraLite 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.

Plus-Size Women’s Ski Kit, No Fluff: Outdoor Research Women’s Carbide Jacket-Plus Review
  No matter how hard I looked, outdoor gear just wasnt made for me. While so many folks donned attractive technical outerwear, I was relegated to so-so products with basic protection against the elements. So I built a brand for plus-size outdoor adventurers.   That was 2019. My company, Alpine Parrot — which had a size run of 14 through 30 —...
Little Camber Goes Long Way: 4FRNT Nevar Backcountry Ski Review
  We pretend that backcountry skiing in Colorado is all powder all the time. I’d be lying if I said my ski acquisitions over the last decade didn’t reflect that fantasy, too.   So when I scraped down a wind-scoured slope, thrashed through breakable crust, and gasped for air in a cloud of deep powder all within the span of one backcountry...

Why Athletes Should Think Twice About Vitamin D Supplements
  Researchers in Germany recently published one of those studies that, now and then, make me question my core beliefs. I’m a supplement skeptic, but I try not to let that identity prevent me from assimilating new data. And if there’s one supplement whose possible benefits I’ve been on the fence about in recent years, it’s vitamin D.   The new study,...
Meet Your Robot Judges: AI Will Score Athletes at Upcoming X Games
  When snowboarding athletes hit the X Games Superpipe on Thursday, a new artificial intelligence (AI) technology will be judging them. According to X Games, the new cloud-based system will not impact the athletes scores — this year. However, this soft rollout is an experiment to help event organizers gauge how well this new technology could be integrated into future competitions....
What Writing an Outdoors Advice Column Taught Me About Relationships
  My favorite Tough Love question from the last eight years, the one I (somewhat inexplicably) recall most fondly, was from a woman whose boyfriend was grossed out that she used a pee rag—a.k.a. reusable toilet paper—while camping. We got a lot of impassioned reader feedback about that one: Pee is sanitary! Pee is gross! Bodies are normal! Women’s bodies in...

Am I a Jerk for Not Owning an Electric Car?
  Dear Sundog: Am I a jerk for not owning an electric vehicle yet? I live in a city, commute to work, and like to get outside. I have a decent car that gets decent mileage, but feel like I would be doing better for myself and the planet with an EV. Should I buy one? —Looking for Environmental Alternatives that...
From Practical to Premium: The Banter Goes Bougie
  About an hour into a brisk winter hike along my local trail, pangs of hunger began to rumble. I tried not to think about it, but soon, the pangs became stabs, and my progress stumbled.   Fortunately, Im a big fan of self-care, so I unshouldered my pack under a pine tree and eagerly removed the venison sausage, sharp cheddar cheese,...
Did Biden Really Protect Our Public Lands? Here’s His Report Card.
  On Monday, January 20, the presidency of Joe Biden came to an end. During his four years in office, Biden, 82, focused on issues that impact outdoor recreation, such as the preservation of public lands and conservation.   The centerpiece of Biden’s conservation policy was the America the Beautiful Initiative, a commitment to conserve and restore at least 30 percent of...
‘Alaska Is Unleashed’: Trump Lifts Sweeping Wilderness Protections, Renames Mt. McKinley
  The countrys 47th president has wasted no time putting his agenda into action. President Donald Trump issued a flurry of executive orders following his Monday inauguration, many of them aimed at reversing environmental policies from former presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden. But its Alaska — a longtime battleground between environmentalists and oil and gas developers — that received immediate...
Proof That Our Food Is Filled with Plastic Chemicals
  Chick fil-A used to be my guilty pleasure, especially when traveling. When Im rushing through airports that seductive red and white sign always calls for a detour and a Chicken Deluxe. Now, thanks to a new study about the plastic chemicals found in food packaging, that sandwich is dead to me. A team of scientists and concerned citizens recently tested...
