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.

How to Visit Crowded (and Underfunded) National Parks This Summer
  The National Park Service recently released their annual visitation data, reporting the most guests in the system’s history, with almost 332 million people exploring our parks, preserves, recreation areas, and historic sites in 2024.   Unfortunately, this surge in popularity is coinciding with a staffing crisis within the park service, as the Trump Administration has dictated the organization cut 1,000 employees....
The Best Alternatives to Crowded National Park Campgrounds
  It’s going to be harder than ever to pitch your tent inside a national park this summer. Scoring a campsite at our popular parks is difficult during any stretch of warmer months, when parks see a surge in visitation.

Lesser-Known Lake Escapes in the U.S.
  I wasn’t introduced to the pleasures of lake life until my early 30s. Born and raised on the Jersey Shore, I was ocean obsessed. If the water didn’t have waves and leave me salt-kissed, I wasn’t interested. When I moved to Colorado 15 years ago, I was gripped by land-locked panic and started road-tripping to any body of water I...

How Long Does it Take to Walk the Camino de Santiago? A Beginner’s Guide to This and More
  A smoking silver thurible swooped through the gothic arches overhead, richly scented incense pouring from its sides. Eight priests in heavy robes acted as the counterweight, controlling a rope as thick as my forearm. I shuddered to think what might happen if the cord snapped, spilling 175 pounds of heated metal and 90 pounds of coal onto the crowd below...
Denver’s Newest Hotel is a Towering Treehouse in the Heart of the City
  The recently opened Populus hotel cleverly channels the feel of walking through an aspen grove from its forest floor-inspired lobby all the way to its “canopy”-level rooftop bar. Located across from Civic Center Park, the 13-story building’s curvy, white-washed facade is reminiscent of the work embraced by Antoni Gaudí, the Catalan architect and early adopter of biomimicry, a design practice...
Avoid Crowds in Utah’s National Parks With These Insider Secrets
  Dreams of exploring Utah’s spectacular red rock country quickly turn dystopic if you do it wrong. The tourist traps which you can easily fall into are as myriad as arches in Utah’s second most popular national park.   Blame our state’s overwhelmingly successful “Mighty Five” campaign, launched in 2013, which aimed to bring more visitors to Utah’s five national parks: Zion,...
