  Ultralight and super-compact with 850+ ULTRA-DRY Down

The Spark uses premium materials, including ULTRA-DRY Down 850+ Loft Loft, and no-frills design to provide cutting-edge performance for backpacking, bikepacking, and travel.

‘Icefall Doctors’ Embark on Mount Everest’s Most Dangerous Job
  A team of eight Sherpa climbers and a small camp staff left Namche Bazaar yesterday for Mount Everest Base Camp. The Sherpas task is to find a route through the maze of seracs (hanging ice blocks) and crevasses from the broken Khumbu Glacier. They have been doing this every spring since 1993. This team is called the Icefall Doctors.   Every...
Kicking Horse Gondola Car Breaks Off in Third Lift Incident at Resorts This Season
  A gondola car carrying eight people detached from its cable at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in Golden, British Columbia, on March 10. According to witnesses, the Golden Eagle Express car fell about 10 feet after departing from the lower terminal at 9:20 a.m. No one was seriously injured, but passengers were trapped for several minutes, and the patrol manually evacuated every...
How to Sleep Better Outdoors
  Here’s how bedtime in camp goes in your mind: After a long day exploring some beautiful, wild place, you settle in around the campfire, favorite beverage in hand. Your eyes get droopy as you watch the sun set and stars begin to blink on. Finally, you snuggle into your cozy sleeping bag, yawning once before dropping off to sleep immediately...
Meet the Endurance Athletes Going the Extra Mile to Fight Cancer
  When Scott Bauwens’s sister-in-law was first diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia a few years ago, he set a simple goal. He’d fundraise for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS), but only for a single campaign. Then, duty done, he’d go back to business as usual. But during that first campaign, something happened that changed his life. He started to meet...
Foot Furnace: Meindl Nordkap PRO GTX Winter Boot Review
  It had just turned from dusk to dark on Minnesotas frozen Lake Mill Lacs, and the temperature was plummeting. Somewhere around -10 degrees Fahrenheit, a 30mph wind made it feel much colder. My friends and I hustled to break down our ice fishing shelter after a long day on the ice, and time was of the essence as fingers and...
Scientists Braved 130-Mile-Per-Hour Winds on Mount Washington
  I have a secret fascination with the Mount Washington Observatory (MWOB), the weather station situated atop Americas windiest mountain.   Every few days, the scientists living inside the MWOB publish an observation blog or an Instagram post about the extreme conditions on the 6,288-foot peak, and the photos or videos always boggle my mind. Plunging temperatures mixed with fog will occasionally...
What I’ve Learned from 20 Silent Meditation Retreats
  The first time I ever went on a silent meditation retreat, 11 years ago, I thought I had entered the zombie apocalypse. After arriving and having dinner with my fellow retreatants, we went into silence. I had considered what it would be like to remain quiet myself for five days (hard, I figured) but not what it would be like...
Smugglers Sentenced After 113 Exotic Birds Drown in Botched Heist
  Four men have been sentenced for attempting to smuggle more than 100 tropical birds from Puerto Rico. Their failed plan resulted in all the birds drowning.   Federal authorities reported that the smugglers, all Dominican nationals, were caught last May. They were transporting the birds in a flagless vessel about 30 nautical miles north of Puerto Rico. When the U.S. Coast...
Umpqua Northfork Chest Pack Review: Tough, Simple Fishing Rig Under $100
  Most fishing pack manufacturers have been following the same pattern with new products: increased technology and increased prices. In the past, Umpqua Feather Merchants was one of the leaders in this trend. Its prior line of packs, the Zs2, was one of the most feature-rich, advanced packs on the market. The new Northfork Chest Pack bucks the trend and offers...

No-Carbon, Lower-Stack Super Shoe: Norda 005 First Look Review
  Every time I’ve met with Norda founder Nick Martire, it’s as if I’m Mark Cuban and we’re on the set of Shark Tank. The pitch is always passionate and intense. He is an entrepreneur straight out of central casting; each interaction is superlative-laden and memorable.   Norda is a darling of the trail running scene, but there isn’t a line of...
The Cult of the Mountain-Town Weatherman
  On a Sunday afternoon in October, I snuck out for a run. It was tank-top weather when I left my house in downtown Durango, Colorado, and I expected it to hold. I drove north into the mountains, and as I crested a hill 15 minutes in, the sky turned gray and cracked with lightning. The temperature reading in my car...
