Description

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

  The Spark 5F is an ultralight down bag that packs down super-small for fast-and-light cold-weather trips. The Spark uses premium materials, including ULTRA-DRY Down 850+ Loft Loft, and no-frills design to provide cutting-edge performance for backpacking, alpine climbing, and travel. Ultralight does not mean ultra-tight: The Spark sleeping bags are snug but still have adequate girth for the performance-oriented backcountry user.

Footprint sold separately.

And the 11 Least Visited National Parks Are…
  Last year was a banner one for our national parks, with 325.5 million recreation visits in the books for 2023. Last week the National Park Service released its annual visitation statistics, detailing the total number of visitors to the 400 units—which include national seashores and historic sites—the park service manages. Overall, recreation visits increased by 13 million, an uptick of...
That ’70s Guy
  This story update is part of the Outside Classics, a series highlighting the best writing we’ve ever published, along with author interviews and other exclusive bonus materials. Read “We Dressed a Modern Man Like an Outdoor Dude from the 1970s and Set Him Loose in the Wild,” by Eric Hansen here.   The subhead read: “Outside was born into a far-out bicentennial world...
I Saved $9,000 Last Year by Going Green. Here’s How.
  It often feels like going green takes a bite out of your wallet. Organic produce, sustainably sourced apparel, electric cars, renewable energy—many of these cost more than traditional goods and services, and the increased prices can force us to make a tough decision. Do we do what’s right for the planet, or make smart financial choices? Its painful that going...
Should Wealthy Skiers Get to Buy Access to Powder Before the Lifts Open?
  My Great Awakening The powder snow of Japan is so light, so iconic, it has a name: Japow. Born of cold Siberian air streaming over relatively warm ocean water toward Hokkaido, Japow has inspired face-shot aficionados to fly halfway around the world for it. I have been to Niseko and, like the airborne snow crystals sent into a frenzy with...
All the Gear You Need to Travel with Three Big Dogs
  Laying out all of the gear I needed to road trip 6,000 miles from Montana to Baja Sur with my wife and three dogs, a thought struck me. Am I chronically over-prepared? Probably. But I figure the the least I can do for the friends (non-human and otherwise) I ask to tag along through remote, often dangerous adventures is to...
Yes, Your Sports Bra Really Can Restrict Your Breathing
  Running bras have come a long way since 1977, when Lisa Lindahl and Polly Smith stitched together a pair of jockstraps to create the original Jogbra. Current models aren’t just comfortable and supportive; they’re performance-enhancing. Studies have found that more supportive bras reduce oxygen consumption—a proxy for how much energy you’re burning at a given running pace—by 7 percent, perhaps...
These States Will Pay You to Move There—Some Over $10,000
  Since the shift to remote work that started during the COVID-19 pandemic, a growing percentage of employees are in the position to work and live wherever they want. For some, that has meant relocating to a place with better outdoor access. Hordes of geographically-liberated professionals have made their way to mountain towns across the country, exacerbating pre-existing issues of housing affordability,...
Looking for the Perfect Camping Meal? Consider the Quesadilla.
  Want to have a successful camping trip? Make good food.   But cooking in camp can involve challenges: weather, darkness, unfamiliar equipment, and sanitation can build a barricade between you and a full stomach. And that’s before you figure in fussy eaters or food allergies. But on a recent 1,000-mile camping trip through Mexico, I think I may have experienced a...
7 Most Adventurous Ways to See the Total Eclipse of 2024
  Monday, April 8, 2024, will be an epic day, when a total eclipse passes over North America. The moon will completely block out the sun, turning day to night across a wide swath of the United States from Texas to Maine. All of us in the nation, wherever we’re located, will experience at least a partial eclipse. If you’re in...

Sports Psychology Has an Evidence Problem
  The turning point, for me, was Eliud Kipchoge’s smile. In the late miles of his 2017 sub-two-hour marathon attempt at a racetrack just outside Milan, as the effort mounted, he kept flashing a beatific grin. It was a deliberate tactic to help work through the pain, he later explained. Kipchoge’s reputation as the Yoda of endurance was just taking off,...
We’re Finally Getting Real About Athlete Mental Health 
  Six years ago, Kevin Love, at the time a power forward for the Cleveland Cavaliers, published a now-famous essay in the Players’ Tribune titled “Everyone Is Going Through Something.” The piece describes an in-game panic attack that had blindsided Love earlier in the season, and his subsequent struggles to talk about what had happened. Love writes that he eventually started...
