Sonic -20
$659.95 - $699.95
Description

  This Backpacker Editors’ Choice award-winning big-mountain bag offers exceptional warmth and tuneability with a reduced environmental impact. The Sonic -20 features NEMO's next-generation Thermo Gill™ vents, with a new multistage zipper system that dramatically increases the usable temperature range of the bag and allows fine-tuning of comfort from within. Sonic’s chevron baffle construction better compartmentalizes down, eliminating migration and keeping the down evenly lofted. (Not to mention, it looks awesome.)

  The shell and liner fabrics are 100% recycled fabrics and bluesign®-approved, and the premium 800 FP hydrophobic down is 100% Responsible Down Standard (RDS) certified. Years of history in the field yielded detailed upgrades on this bag, including a perfected profile, redesigned draft collar, and bolstered draft tubes. Its proven Toester™ footbox keeps feet warmer, provides a waterproof barrier against tent wall condensation, and protects down from moisture while drying damp clothes inside the footbox. Adaptable to whatever the mountain throws at it, Sonic continues to reverberate as the ultimate extreme weather companion.

An Ode to the Relationships We Owe to the Outdoors  
  The outdoors have a way of delivering to us our soulmates. Sometimes, that’s a romantic partner, discovered on a mountain-summit meet-cute. Other times, it’s the fiercely loyal friends we never knew we needed. Maybe you’ve noticed the same—that your best friends are your adventure friends. There’s a reason for that dynamic.

People-Friendly Bad Boy Blade: Kizer ‘Nice Guy’ Review
  Over the past 5 or so years, there has been a strong reaction to the overly aggressive “tactical” folders that saw popularity in the early aughts.

These knives, typified by offerings like the Knafs Lander and the TRM Nerd,...

  Going with the flow is an essential part of any yoga class. But being able to move quickly through poses is less important than making sure to have proper alignment in each pose.

When Is the Best Time to Eat Breakfast?
  Breakfast is a surprisingly controversial meal. Many swear it’s a crucial part of setting yourself up for a successful day, but some decide to skip it.

Trump Just Renamed North America’s Highest Peak. These Climbers Will Still Call It “Denali.”
  On Monday, January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to rename Alaska’s 20,310-foot Denali, the highest peak in North America. The mountain’s name will revert to Mount McKinley, named for William McKinley, the 25th President of the United States, who was assassinated on September 14, 1901.
