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.

Do Huberman’s Wind Down Glasses Actually Work? We Asked Experts.
  Elite athletes have a remarkable ability to focus on what they can control and let go of what they can’t. They are process obsessives, honing in on the manifold factors—like diet, exercise, and recovery—that can make the difference between being first and being a footnote. Nutrition, weight lifting, and mental performance have all taken turns revolutionizing training, yet aside from...
Katabatic Alsek 22 Review: Cold Sleepers Rejoice — This Sleeping Quilt Works for All
  I hit about mile 200 before I swallowed the bitter pill: I might not be cut out for this sleeping quilt thing. It was half a month into my thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail, and while the days crossing the sand-filled basins brutalized with heat, the nights along the high-rising desert ridges plunged to near freezing.   I also found...
Bouncing Back From Heart Attacks, With Chef and Angler Ranga Perera
  In and around his home of Bozeman, Montana, Ranga Perera is highly sought after as a fly fishing pal and even more highly sought after as a personal chef. There’s nothing unusual about that combination, until you learn that his family came to the States in 1991 from Sri Lanka after a happy childhood was disrupted by a violent civil...
The Benefits (and Drawbacks) of Adult Beginner-ness, With Mirna Valerio
  Everyone knows it’s important to try new things, but combating that internal voice, which begs us to stay within our comfort zone ain’t easy—even for a professional tryer of new things like Mirna Valerio. Known on the internet as The Mirnavator, Mirna knows what she’s talking about. She took up running in her late 30s, then road marathons, then trail...
HUK Pro Series Review: Badass Bibs & Jacket for Foul Weather Fishing (and More)
  Bad weather doesn’t stop the work. It doesn’t stop the fish from biting either. Whether you’re stringing lines in the field after a long winter or casting into icy Montana rivers before the runoff hits, the cold doesn’t care. Neither does the rain, the wind, or the occasional frozen mix that pelts your face sideways.   That’s where the HUK Pro...
Taking the Battle of the Sexes Outside, With Katie Burrell
  You probably know Katie Burrell from Instagram, where she’s built a sizeable following by skewering outdoor stereotypes and having World Cup race ski-sharp takes on how relationships live and die on trails of all sorts. But she’s also a seasoned standup comedian who wrote and starred in 2023’s homage to 80s ski comedies, “Weak Layers,” all of which is why...
How to See Manhattanhenge (and 9 Other Urban Solar Alignments) in 2025
  On four nights each year, sky-watchers flock to the streets of Midtown Manhattan to experience one of the nations best-known urban astronomical events: Manhattanhenge.   During this phenomenon—named in honor of England’s famous Stonehenge—the sunset aligns perfectly with the city’s east-west grid, sending a blaze of sunlight down the streets and casting the city in a dramatic glow. The first Manhattanhenge...
Meet the Electric Minivan Designed to Spark Joy
  Upon first sight, my younger daughter hugged the yellow Volkswagen ID. Buzz. Arms draped across its cheerful face, she said, “Can we keep it?” A reasonable question for a car that looks like it time-traveled from Woodstock to Haight-Ashbury via Pixar Studios.   The ID. Buzz is Volkswagen’s reinterpretation of its microbus—a car so entrenched in American counterculture that you would...

Worthy Watches for Every Deserving Dad
  Consider gifting Dad a watch for Father’s Day—a real banger he won’t just pretend to love. Choosing a timeless gift will nail the right sentiment, but picking the perfect timepiece out of a few (gazillion) options can present a quandary. That’s where Citizen comes in.   “A watch isn’t just a watch,” says pilot and proud father Jeff Shapiro, who relies...
‘Unforgiving Hours’ Captures Gritty History of Endurance Sports
  Is competing in endurance sports a terrible idea? Thats the (somewhat rhetorical) question posed in a new collection of stories examining the painful journeys of endurance athletes trying to achieve goals unimaginable to the casual observer.   The book offers many fascinating tales, like a 70-year-old competing in an ultramarathon, a sailing trip from Washington State to Alaska, or attempting six...
