  Ultralight wide-cut mummy bag; 30° F

  If you are claustrophobic or just need a little more room than the average backpacker, it can be very hard to find an ultralight sleeping bag that isn't shaped like a sarcophagus. With that in mind, Western Mountaineering designed the MegaLite, a wide mummy sleeping bag that offers room to move but retains a heat-efficient silhouette; a generous 64 inches of shoulder girth lets the larger folks enjoy the weight and volume savings of the ExtremeLite series. Continuous baffles allow you to regulate the temperature of the bag by shifting the down on top of you in colder temps or underneath you when things warm up. A full-length zipper, passive draft collar, and insulated draft tube round out the features on this popular bag.

  Like all of Western Mountaineering's bags, the MegaLite 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.

Inhaling Carbon Dioxide Could Boost Athletic Performance—But At What Cost?
  Back in 1969, naval researchers took blood samples from the crew of a Polaris nuclear submarine over the course of an eight-week patrol. Three-quarters of the sailors were smokers, so carbon monoxide levels were chronically elevated in the sealed confines of the sub. After a few weeks in this toxic miasma, the crew’s levels of hemoglobin, the crucial protein in...

Why, and When, You Should Buy Running Shoes at a Store

  Picture this: Two wildland firefighters on their day off, racing back upstream to beat the setting sun, with an 5 a.m. start time for the next day, dragging an inflatable kayak up the last shallow section in the dark, while only semi-ironically belting out an original cadence musical rendition of David Goggin’s “Who’s Gonna Carry the Boats?”    I doubt this...
