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.

Inside the Battle to Ride Mountain Bikes on Mount Tamalpais
  From the top of California’s 2,579-foot Mount Tamalpais, one can gaze out at a commanding view of San Francisco, the Pacific Ocean, and the Golden Gate Bridge. But it wasn’t the overlook that lured 200 mountain bikers to the mountain on the crisp morning of Saturday, November 2.   The cyclists had ridden to the summit on paved and dirt roads...

Sex Differences in Sport Are Hugely Controversial Right Now. Here’s What Science Does (and Doesn’t) Know.
  Earlier this month, the Journal of Applied Physiology published a paper with the title “Evidence on Sex Differences in Sports Performance.” Seems pretty straightforward, but of course it’s not. The gap between male and female athletes has become a major flashpoint in debates on whether transgender women and athletes with differences of sexual development, like the South African runner Caster...
Jetboil’s Lightest, Smallest ‘Stash’ Cook System Does Not Compromise
  As someone who spends many nights in the backcountry every year, I have become all too familiar with firing up backpacking stoves and eating out of bags. It’s part of the gig if you want a hot meal at night or coffee in the morning.   The truth is, though, not all stoves are created equal. Jetboil has always stood on...
This Is How to Survive Hypothermia
  Three years ago, I was pursuing a herd of elk down a steep gully into a remote mountain valley in southwest Montana when it began to snow. The storm was unexpected and hyper-local; it often is in the mountains. It was only the middle of September, so I wore thin base layers under soft-shell pants, a thin fleece jacket, and...
Plus-Size Outdoor Apparel Company Alpine Parrot Shutters
  After five years of trailblazing as a plus-size apparel entrepreneur, Raquel Vélez recently shuttered her outdoor apparel company, Alpine Parrot, due to a lack of profit.   Alpine Parrot was one of a handful of outdoor brands dedicated to the plus-size market, which makes up more than 65 percent of Americans. Vélez started with sizes 14-24 and ultimately expanded to size...

  Don’t get me wrong, I love a good campsite. But sometimes after a big day of adventure, I crave the comfort and ease of a great hotel with a friendly staff, farm-to-table meals, gear rentals, and maybe even a sauna and cold plunge. Both in the U.S. and abroad, a plethora of brands are catering to guests who love the...

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...
Go-Kart Mode Engaged: 2025 MINI Cooper S Hardtop 2-Door Review
  When I picked up the 2025 MINI Cooper S Hardtop 2-Door, I knew it’d be fun. Since the modern BMW-made MINI’s debut in 2001, the performance-oriented Cooper S models have been a blast to drive. Plus, they ooze with character and novelty.   My test car wore Sunny Side Yellow paint with a black roof, 18-inch wheels, and performance tires, and...
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...
