Apache GWS
$665.00 - $710.00
Description

  15 degrees of windproof, water-resistant boundary-pushing; narrow cut

  The Western Mountaineering Apache GWS is built with attitude! This windproof, highly water-resistant and breathable 15° F bag won't take no for an answer as it pushes the bounds of what a late-summer/early-fall bag can do. A full 3-dimensionally sewn down-filled collar seals in heat when the weather takes a turn for the worse. The slim, heat-efficient cut lets you warm up the bag quickly and makes for a light, compressible package. 19 oz. of high lofting down pumps up a durable 6" of loft. The Apache GWS is a very efficient package that is built like a pint-sized winter bag. At a total weight of around 2 lbs 6 oz, you'll be amazed just how much cold these bags will tame.

  Like all of Western Mountaineering's bags, the Apache GWS 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.

Surviving at Sea on a Surfboard
  Matthew Bryce went surfing alone. Would he die alone, too? As he was riding waves, Bryce got blown out to sea. He had a wetsuit and a surfboard, and nothing else. No way to call for help, or signal to the rescuers that he could see searching for him in a helicopter. Alone and freezing in the ocean, how do...
Watch: SAR Airlifts Injured Skiers After Apple Watch SOS
  First responders shared a spicy rescue that occurred in northwest Washington state last Wednesday. The King County Sheriff’s Air Support Unit responded to a rescue request on Jan. 22 after receiving a SOS alert from an Apple Watch worn by a backcountry skier. As they flew a helicopter to the coordinates, rescuers only knew that a male skier had been injured...
Lexus Gets Salty With the Surf LX Concept
  Its the gnarliest Lexus ever. The Lexus Surf LX concept off-roader comes loaded up with gear storage, a custom exo cage, and, most importantly, a slide-out wax table. Its a cool take on the Lexus LX SUV to show off that Lexus has just announced it will continue to be the Official Automotive Partner of the World Surf League.   Lexus...
2025 Toyota 4Runner First Drive Review: A Rugged SUV That Outshines the Land Cruiser
  The new 4Runner did not surprise me in any way. It is exactly the modern off-road-capable vehicle you expect it to be, and essentially the SUV version of the latest Tacoma pickup. That means it is the most comfortable, capable, and adventure-ready 4Runner ever. But, it also means its got lots of little flaws and a few glaring ones.   Toyota...
Freeride Bibs Built for Backcountry and Resort: High-Performance Arc’teryx Sabre Bib Pant Review
  The first rays of sunlight illuminated the Elk Mountains on the periphery of Crested Butte Mountain Resort on a below-freezing December morning. My truck actually says it’s -15 degrees Fahrenheit, as I drive to the backcountry trailhead, trailer in tow. There’s 6 inches of fresh snow in town — meaning the backcountry likely (and hopefully) picked up triple those numbers....
Big Tires, Big Attitude: Arctic Trucks Toyota Land Cruiser 250 AT37
  It was 40 years ago that the Prado badge first appeared on the light-duty Land Cruiser, but the badge never made it to the North American market. For 2025, the U.S. Land Cruiser is the world market Prado, the first time the Prado platform has had a Toyota badge on this continent — as its had the Lexus GX badge...
My Experience With Stem Cell Therapy: Snake Oil or Silver Bullet?
  Dr. David Karli, his tech Mariah, and an anesthesiologist named Adriana were all hovering over me. Soon, I’d be taking a deep nap while Karli and Mariah drilled into my hips to extract bone marrow, which would be centrifuged, turned into stem cells, and injected into my knee.   I was grateful for the anesthesia. From experience, I knew the extraction...
Canada Closes Border to Thru-Hikers on Pacific Crest Trail
  For decades, many of the thru-hikers who trek the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) have ended their journey just a few miles over the U.S.-Canada border. Yet theyll now have to be satisfied with ending their hike at the border — or trekking an extra 62 miles to the closest available border crossing.   Thats because the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) changed...

The Top 5 Fixed Blades for ‘The Hottest Trend in Knives’
  In an industry defined by continuously evolving trends, the knife markets craze du jour is the pocket fixed blade. If youre wondering why, I outline the history and justification for the trend in my full explainer on pocket fixed blades. (Start there for some context, and then come back here when youre ready to start shopping.)   Like any good knife,...
Can Probiotic Supplements Improve Athletic Performance? Maybe, but Doctor’s Won’t Recommend Them—Yet.
  As someone who’s dealt with digestive issues for years, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t intrigued by probiotics. Wherever I look, there are probiotic products—from capsules and powders to gummies and fizzy sodas—that claim to boost your immune system, fix your gut, and even improve your mood.   There are many different probiotic strains, but common ones include Lactobacillus,...
Pebble’s Budget Smartwatch Makes a Comeback, Thanks to Google
  Google just pushed reset on a cult smartwatch brand that died off in 2016. You might remember Pebble from the halcyon days of 2012, when it became (at the time) the most successful Kickstarter campaign in history.   The nascent brand offered a simple interface and efficient set of features, drawing in millions of dollars from thousands of users. Then, in...
