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.

Weird AF Bike Frame: Cannondale SuperX Bends Carbon for Speed and Comfort
  Carbon fiber is known for its incredible stiffness and strength-to-weight ratio. The bicycle industry leverages these properties to create the most energy-efficient and lightweight machines possible. However, these properties also mean carbon bikes tend to be unforgiving and harsh, especially race bikes. Speed trumps comfort. Or does it?   Cannondale launched the SuperX gravel race bike today, and instantly, the images...
Catch More Zs While Traveling: Ozlo Sleepbuds’ Comfy Solution to Noisy Nights
  Few things make sleeping more difficult than the nightly hijinks of drunk musicians.   I used to spend several months on the road every year touring with a band, and the most difficult part by far was simply getting some shut-eye.
