Russ C.'s Review of Western Mountaineering Sycamore MF 25 Sleeping Bag
I just received the Sycamore (Long, Left Zip) and already very impressed with the quality of the materials. I tried the zippers several times and no snags due to their stiff switched in anti-snagging strips (not sure of the technical name).
At 6', 220 lbs, the Long (6'6") bag offered more room in the leg area to spread out than the competitors "semi-rectangular" bags. My only reason for giving 4 out of 5 stars is the shoulder girth area needs to be 2-3" wider. I purchased the Western Mountaineering Bag Expander - while it doesn't really widened the bag - it creates about 4" of volume space ground to top. This is great for a side sleeper like me.
With the Sycamore bag, the expander, and the included stuff sack, the total packable weight is 2 lbs 10oz
Looking forward to trying out this awesome sleeping bag!!
