HighLite
$405.00 - $425.00
Description

  The pinnacle of ultralight efficiency; 35° F

  Western Mountaineering's HighLite is designed to be the lightest, most compressible bag you can find. Everything about this bag is constructed with weight in mind, from its 0.9-oz ExtremeLite™ fabric to the half-length zipper. A popular choice among thru-hikers and ultralight fanatics, the HighLite's efficient narrow mummy cut means that the bag heats up faster and more heat is retained compared to wider sleeping bags. At only 16 ounces, no other bag is as light, as warm, as well-made or as good-looking as the HighLite.

  Like all of Western Mountaineering's bags, the HighLite 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.

  Luck comes in many forms, but for a father and son hiking in Utahs Snow Canyon on February 17, it came in the form of an abandoned backpack. Stuck overnight high up on a canyon ledge, Julian Hernandez and his 12-year-old son would have had a different outcome had it not been for someone elses misfortune, said Sergeant Jacob Paul with...

What Happens When Yosemite SAR Can’t Hire Rescuers?
  Nate Vince, the suddenly famous Yosemite locksmith who lost his job thanks to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)’s recent slew of layoffs, texted me while hanging off the side of El Capitan on Saturday afternoon: “Yeah, Buddy, we’re up here! The teamwork to get this done was unreal.”   I reached out to Vince as a friend of a friend...
World’s Hardest Rock Climb? Six New Moves Create Baffling Route
  Italys Excalibur route begins by stepping off a boulder onto the wall. Italian climber Stefano Ghisolfi started investigating the potential moves below the top of the boulder, which would produce a direct start.   Ghisolfi believes this low start is harder than any move on Excalibur, and he grades this section V14. This V14 would link to a V13, then into...

  Snow swirled all around Denver, causing road closures, flight delays, and general travel chaos as brands and journalists descended upon the Mile High City for this years Outdoor Market Alliance (OMA) winter media show. The vibes were high as GearJunkie ping-ponged from one showroom to another, one meeting to the next. There was a smorgasbord of rad gear — new...
Supertramp Debuts Hard-Side Camper: Flagship HT Shaves Weight, Tackles All Seasons
  Supertramp Campers built its reputation on high-quality, carbon-fiber shell, pop-up truck campers. The brands original designed challenged the RV industry’s focus on comparably cheap materials.

Luxury Home on Wheels Tackles Iconic Moab 4×4 Trails: TruckHouse R&D Mission
  Fifteen years ago, almost to the week, I first met Dave Harriton and Dave Yegge — DH and DY, as they’re known in shorthand. Harriton, the founder of American Expedition Vehicles (AEV), and Yegge, the engineer who ensures that all AEV vehicles are built to world-class standards. Back then, we were in Moab filming an episode for the now-shuttered Speed...
Base Truck, Big Upgrades: 2025 Toyota Tundra SR5 TRD Rally Package Review
  Barreling through a washboard rough patch of dirt road, the Tundra easily glides over the bumps and provides a cushy ride. But this isn’t a TRD Pro. In fact, the SR5 trim ranks just one above the base SR. It offers spartan amounts of luxury and nearly no off-road equipment.   Yet, courtesy of the $8,660 TRD Rally Package, I’m rolling...
I Ran Without a Watch for a Month. It Completely Changed My Running.
  The first training runs I ever did were bare-wristed.   I was in sixth grade, at my middle school’s cross-country practice. Our coach told us to run a lap around the school, maybe three-quarters of a mile. I sauntered around with my friends, unencumbered by any pressure to perform, as our coach smoked a cigarette in the parking lot. Eventually, we...
Climb Confidently, Comfortably: Scarpa Drago XT Rock Shoe Review
  Given that GearJunkie already crowned the Scarpa Drago the best climbing shoe for steep routes and boulders, it was a surprise when the Drago XT showed up in the mail. I couldnt see how Scarpa could improve such a beloved, high-performing shoe, or why it would introduce another Drago model that could sully the line.   So, I put myself on...

  Bill Lowens 2024 season brought nothing but turmoil, but he kicked 2025 off strong on Sunday, taking home his second career win in the first tournament of his 20th season. Last year, Lowen struggled on the Bassmaster Elite Series. When everything was said and done, he was in 84th place in the 2024 Angler of the Year points standings.   Known...
