  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.

8 Great-Looking (and Smooth-Riding) Women’s Running Shoes for Travel
  Runners who travel know a packing trick: Instead of cramming our bulky running shoes in our luggage, we wear them. We wear them on planes, trains, and car rides. We wear them to tour cities, countrysides, museums, galleries, and trails. While others suffer from blisters and fatigue in their sandals, loafers, or even stylish hiking boots, we think to ourselves,...
The Most Remote Places to Stay on Earth That Are Worth the Trek

  I am always looking for my next knife because the knife world is forever changing and evolving. I constantly pay attention to trends and what’s making an impact out there.

When Is It OK to Rescue a Wild Animal?
  This winter a woman in Steamboat Springs spotted an elk on her property. When she went out to take a picture, the animal startled and ran into a gully where it got stuck in snow up to its neck. Convinced the elk needed rescue, she called game wardens, who told her to leave the animal alone. By morning, she’d gathered...
‘TILT’ Titanium Coating Adds Warmth Without Weight: Rab Mythic Ultra 180 Sleeping Bag Review
  The sun dipped below the horizon, and I was set to sleep on top of Wetterhorn Peak at 14,021 feet.

All signs were pointing to...
Fast and Versatile, On or Off Trail: Nike Terra Kiger 10 Review
  Parked at the trailhead, I’m standing outside my truck, stuffing gas station food and storm layers into my running vest. The sun is baking the high desert valley floor, and the temperature is already above 80 degrees — it’s 8:00 a.m. I arrived at the trailhead a few hours later than I intended. As the king of late starts, this...

Lightning Strikes 14er Hikers — While on the Phone With Colorado SAR
  The arrival of summer means more hikers seeking high-altitude summits —and more rescues when they get into trouble. That was evident this weekend, when a lightning strike on a couple of Colorado hikers resulted in a high-altitude rescue from some of the states most experienced first responders.   The rescue began Thursday evening, June 12, when Colorados Alpine Rescue Team was...
Hidden Treasure Hikes: Where to Search for Lost Loot Across America
  Finding a cache of gold out in the woods is every hikers dream —and sometimes, it comes true. In February 2025, two tourists were hiking on a hill in the Czech Republic when they stumbled upon a life-changing find. They noticed a tin can and a metal case tucked within an old manmade wall.   Upon pulling them out and opening...
Two Hikers Were Struck by Lightning on This Popular Colorado Fourteener. They Survived.
