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.

An Inside Look into the 2025 Toyota 4Runner, Tacoma, and Land Cruiser
  I drove a 2024 Toyota Tacoma for the first time yesterday. That’s relevant to an article about the new 4Runner, because both it, the new Taco, and also the new Land Cruiser are all built on the same platform, with the same engines, axles, and suspension. And that creates a conundrum for shoppers, because prices between all those capable and...
Hiking Rewired My Brain. It Can Do the Same to Yours.
  If the cab fare to the southern end of the Pacific Crest Trail cost $1,000, so be it: I was not going to spend an hour crowded into a van grousing about the world with a hiker named Honest Abe.   Abe and I had met on the Appalachian Trail in 2019, and it did not take much conversation for us...

This $16K Electric Motorcycle Has a Video Game-Inspired ‘Nitrous Boost’ Button

Prosthetics on Peaks: Meet the Pro Skier Leading Folks to New Heights
  Pro skier and Mountain Hardwear athlete Rachael Burks brings electric, ball-lightning enthusiasm to the slopes.
