  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.

How Running Helped One Family Recover From Unimaginable Loss
  When Lawlor Coe lost his brother Hunter to suicide, one of the ways he coped was by lacing up his joggers and running. At first, he was trying to elude his grief; over time he found that the physical suffering he endured on the trail helped him find a way toward peace and, from there, joy. After sorrow and anger,...
No Screen, No Subscription: Polar Launches Low-Profile ‘Loop’ Fitness Tracker
  As technology grows more complex, theres increasing competition to make that tech feel less like a gadget. The smartwatch segment is a clear example of that, as screenless wearables like Whoop have become more popular.   Now, Polar aims to carve out a piece of the marketplace. Long known for its sports computers and heart rate monitors — since the 1970s—Polar...
Brilliant Elastic Lace System for Women’s Winter Boots: Stio Colter Review
  I live in Crested Butte, Colo., where winter easily reaches into three seasons. Its essential to have a pair of womens winter boots that are warm, waterproof, and easy to pull on and off. Of course, its important to find one with style, too. After testing the Stio Colter, I wish I could wear these sneaker-esque snow boots year-round.   When...
Fast Entry, High Performance: Jones Mercury FASE Snowboard Binding Review
  For years, snowboard bindings have remained relatively the same, with two straps to put on and take off, requiring extra time at the top of the lift compared to skiers. Companies like FLOW had tried to create a fast-entry binding with a droppable high back. But these were often heavy, awkward, and didnt have the performance of expert-level riders needed. Thats where the Jones...
Less Power, More Money, But Oh So Right: 2026 Ram 1500 HEMI Review
  Several feet away, with camera in hand, I stand on a massive patch of asphalt and watch the test driver WOT (wide-open throttle) the HEMI-equipped Ram. As his left foot still lightly rests on the brake, the rear tires start spinning furiously, roaring their way around a white cloud of tire smoke billowing from the roasting rear rubber. I capture...
Garmin’s First Handheld GPS With Camera, Voice, and More: GPSMAP H1i Plus First Look
  Garmin handhelds have always been tough, reliable, and, honestly, a little boring. To be fair, the gadgets are tools, not toys.   But that may have just changed.   The new GPSMAP H1i Plus ($1,000) packs a built-in camera and microphone, so you can send photos and voice notes straight from the device without pulling out your phone. It certainly adds a...

Affordable, Fun, Fish-Ready SUP: Retrospec June Review
  I was initially skeptical of inflatable fishing paddleboards and kayaks. Like many people unfamiliar with inflatable paddleboards and kayaks, I thought it would pop the first time I stabbed it with a stick, ran across some rocks, or had a lure come flying back at warp speed and embed itself in the side.   After testing several inflatable watercraft, I can...
Simple, Comfy Headlamp That Gets the Job Done: BioLite Range Review
  Loons call through the falling dusk over an impossibly calm mirror surface of Lake One in Minnesotas Boundary Waters Canoe Area. I step away from the campfire and press a button on the top of the BioLite Range 500, the newest headlamp from a brand focused on comfortable lighting. A red glow illuminates the path to my food pack, where...
