  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.

But like most seasoned backpackers, Betty knows that getting to camp is only half the fun. Over years of dialing in her kit — a mix of...
Lots More Tuscadero Pink Jeeps, While Gladiator Gets Electrified
  Around 30,000 Jeep Wranglers roam the planet wearing Tuscadero Pink paint. While it was supposed to be a limited-edition color back in 2021, strong demand has kept it available.   For 2024, not only does the Wrangler get Tuscadero, but for the first time, the Gladiator gets the pink treatment as well.   In even bigger news, the 2025 model year Jeep...

The Best Running Shoes of 2024
  We used to say running was a pretty simple sport. All you need is a pair of running shoes and clothes, and off you go. However, with the advances in technology these days, we’re second-guessing that concept.   Somehow over the past 25 years, complexity crept in. GPS watch data, Strava segments, hydration vests, and the obligatory social media post-run selfie...
Hanging Lake Trail Damaged by Fire, Floods, Visitation, Closes for 100-Year Restoration
  The U.S. Forest Service (USFS) is embarking on a $4.5 million restoration initiative that will close one of Colorados most popular and iconic hiking trails for most of the summer. Hanging Lake is an internationally revered hiking destination. Its a historic natural landmark, an important boon to the local economy, and a geologic phenomenon.   But following exploding visitation through the...
The Best Backpacking Sleeping Pads of 2024
  The biggest concern with backpacking sleeping pads is finding the right balance between comfort and weight.And this balance depends largely on the individual. Ounce counters may prefer the lightest pad possible, even if it means forgoing some comfort.   However, other backpackers may prefer to give up weight in other areas so they can happily carry a larger, more comfortable sleeping...
The Best Dog GPS Trackers of 2024
  It’s a dog’s life, as the saying goes, which is lucky for us when a dog’s life includes swimming in rivers, running up mountains, chasing friends in fields, and rolling in unthinkable messes.

How Freeride Mountain-Bike Pioneer Tarek Rasouli Returned to the Trails
  My favorite segment in the 2023 film Nothing’s For Free: The History of Freeride Mountain Biking chronicles the improbable comeback story of German cyclist Tarek Rasouli. One of the pioneers of freeride in the mid-nineties, Rasouli suffered a terrifying crash in Whistler, Canada, in 2002 that left him paralyzed from the waist down and reliant on a wheelchair.   The injury...
The Best Gluten-Free Freeze Dried Meals: Camp Food for Everyone
  I count the day my wife said she’d like to go on an extended backpacking trip with me as one of the happiest of my life. And to a lesser degree, a stressful one.   Kat eats gluten-free. On previous shorter backpacking trips, she made her own meals, like red chile enchiladas with corn tortillas that she would then vacuum seal...
First Look: Rossignol SKPR 2.0 Active Shoe
  There are a lot of ways to be a responsible outdoor enthusiast: practicing Leave No Trace principles, telling someone where you’re going, carrying enough water. But how does a responsible trail user choose the right footwear? Many of the standard manufacturing processes used to create products like hiking and running shoes produce excessive amounts of waste. So, to get outdoors...
The Best Electric Mountain Bikes to Take You Farther

Whether you’re looking for an option that feels the same as a regular mountain bike or you want a hard-charging chop-crusher, we singled out the best four of the year.   We tested eight bikes this year from Bellingham to Squamish, and...
