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.

Instagrammable eCooler Is Built Like a Tank: TRAVOCA Rigel 25 Dual Zone Review
  Turns out, the best road-trip co-pilot doesn’t talk — it chills. I tested the TRAVOCA Rigel 25 Dual Zone (DZ) eCooler on a 10-day road trip from the Midwest to Colorado. I hauled it in and out of the trunk of my 1992 Toyota Hiace through high temperatures, dusty trails, and remote roads.   Over 1,200 miles from Chicago to the...
A Premium Cycling Helmet With Unmatched Airflow: Giro Aries Spherical Road Bike Helmet Review
  Ill be honest: I didnt expect a road bike helmet to change much about how I feel when I ride. Ive worn a number of helmets over the years, and they all do their job: keep my head intact. So when I clipped into the Giro Aries Spherical for the first time, I assumed it would check the same box....

Regardless of the kind of RV you have, the best way to upgrade your trip is to hack your packing. Avoid the gear explosion and a chaotic camp kitchen by packing well before you hit...
Nissan Takes a Baja-Ready Armada on Dune Patrol
  When is a Nissan Armada really a Patrol? When its been transformed into the Nissan Dune Patrol. Nissans latest concept and SEMA Show build takes its name from its more international near-twin, because the brand clearly knows the value of a good play on words.   Burly Beast Gets Awesome Suspension Upgrades      (Photo/Nissan) Its not exactly made for jumping over...

Built for fast, light missions on the trail, these high-capacity fanny packs suit hikers, runners, and mountain bikers who value comfort, balance, and hydration on the move.   During months of...
Corolla Concept Promises a Radical Makeover for Toyota’s Plain Vanilla Sedan
  Change, as they say, is in the works. A near-production-ready concept Corolla making its debut at the Tokyo Motor Show reveals a radical makeover is coming.   Affordable and reliable. For millions of Toyota Corolla buyers, that’s been the right formula, one generation after another. But in a market where sedans continue to lose momentum, Toyota appears ready to rethink that...
Jim Morrison Becomes First to Ski Everest’s Deadly North Face: Watch His Run
  Everest has been skied and snowboarded, but past attempts have always been on the southern slope. On Oct. 15, world-renowned skier Jim Morrison flipped the script, though.   Instead of going the same route as everyone before him, Morrison decided to ski the infamously dangerous north face of the mountain. In the process, he bagged a first descent and entered the...

Which STI Will We Get? Subaru Shows Off 2 Very Different Hot Hatch Futures
  What’s Subaru without the iconic STI hot hatch? That’s a question that performance fans have been wondering about ever since the last model finished its run 3 years ago.   Apparently, Subaru planners have been asking the same question — but they’ve come up with two very different answers. Two concept versions are making their debut at the Japan Mobility Show...
Feathered Friends Swallow UL 20 Sleeping Bag Review: Arctic-Proven, Premium Sleeping Bag Choice
  All of the trip reports I was reading told me I was foolish for bringing a down sleeping bag to Gates of the Arctic National Park. The entire park is a bog — good luck. Not to mention our intention to paddle down two rivers during the trip, packing away all of our insulation inside our boats for the ride....
Salmon Reclaim the Klamath: First Chinook Seen Above Dams in 100 Years
  This week, river watchers and tribal elders are quietly celebrating what was once thought improbable: Chinook salmon are making their way upstream in the Klamath River Basin for the first time in over a century. After four dams were removed, the fish have reached tributaries in the upper Klamath Basin, marking a major ecological milestone.   The Return of Salmon In...
Concealed-Carry Benchmade: Old-School ‘Successor’ Folder Adds New Twist
  It took a meeting with HR to figure it out. But Im now carrying Benchmades newest old-school knife, the Successor, in a unique fashion.   It took a pair of slightly tight pants to finally push me over the top. After a few weeks of carrying the very pretty Benchmade Successor inside a handsome sheath in my front pocket, I just...
