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.

You Can’t Handle an Adventure Dog
  I had just clipped the third bolt on a warm up route at a crag called The Shire when I heard the shouting below me.

  With 40mph winds blasting my face, I jumped into the flapping tent, desperate to get shelter from the snow pellets hitting my forehead.

A Lightweight Winter Companion: KUHL Spyfire Parka Review

Go Faster and Farther With These Road and Gravel E-Bikes
  What makes for a great road and gravel e-bike? The formula is simple: familiar handling, comfortable positioning, and the right amount of assistance to make the rider feel connected to the bike. How a bike approaches that formula is very different, however.   These bikes have come a long way over the past few years. The best e-bikes are hard to...
An Instagram Star Did a Backflip on the Top of Mount Everest
  Over the years, climbers have transformed the summit of Mount Everest into a concert venue, a nudist colony, and even a frisbee launchpad. But prior to this week, nobody to our knowledge had used the worlds highest point as a trampoline.   That changed when an American climber named Devon Levesque executed a backflip on the summit on Tuesday, May 21. Levesque,...
