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.

What is a good cycling pace?
　　Back in the day, the benchmark for a decent club cyclist was always being able to ride 'evens' – averaging 20mph (32kph) on the club-run and breaking the hour for a 25-mile (40km) TT. 　　At a pro level, though, for example, Sam Laidlow’s record-breaking Kona ride in 2022 averaged 27.6mph (44.4kph). And the winner of 2023's fastest-ever Paris-Roubaix, Mathieu van...
How to overcome your fear of going fast on descents
　　If you've had a bad fall on the bike recently and are struggling to regain confidence on descents then help is at hand. 　　You've probably ridden downhill thousands of times without trouble but it just takes one 'off' to smash your confidence and reduce the enjoyment of cycling outdoors. 　　So, whether the road surface was wet, gravelly or you were...
How to develop a smoother, more efficient pedal stroke
　　Pedalling technique is a big topic of debate among cycling coaches, with some advocating drill sessions, single-leg work and the use of pedalling analysis software. At the other end are those who say just get out, ride your bike and your pedal stroke will look after itself. 　　As with most things, the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle. If...
How to improve your cycling efficiency
　　Cadence refers to the amount of times you complete a full pedal revolution each minute, and is something you will naturally settle on with time spent in the saddle. 　　Studies have shown that it’s an individual preference and also that different types of riding suit different cadence zones – time trialling is generally a slightly lower cadence; bunch racing a...
How to beat speed wobbles on the bike
　　Speed wobbles on the bike are a curious phenomenon. At best they’re frightening. At worst they can result in a crash. But the good news is that they’re completely avoidable. 　　What is a speed wobble? 　　A speed wobble is a fast oscillation of the front wheel. It starts as a little shimmy and can lead to the whole bike shaking...
Single-sided power meters: what are they, how do they work and what are their benefits
　　A single-sided power meter works by having stress gauges on one crank arm or pedal, transmitting this information to your head unit and then this data is simply doubled to produce an estimated figure of your overall power output in watts. 　　Single-sided power meters have made training and racing with power far more accessible and affordable. There are however plenty...
Interval training: what it is, how to do it and why you should do it
　　Interval training workouts involve structured exercising at different intensities with recovery periods in between. High intensity is usually anaerobic exercise, while the recovery periods involve activity of lower intensity. 　　High-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts exercise the cardiovascular system, which will then improve the athlete's aerobic capacity leading them to exercise for longer and/or more intense levels. 　　To be faster come...
What is TSS in cycling?
　　Before drilling into what Training Stress Score (TSS) is and how it relates to cycling, there are a few other metrics to understand. 　　FTP (functional threshold power) was defined as the maximum power that you could hold for 60 minutes. However it’s better viewed as your sustainable power so, for an untrained cyclist, it could be what they could manage...
Are gut bacteria the secret to qualifying for Kona?
　　This October, researchers from all over the world will be teaming up for a first-of-a-kind study on probiotics and the gut microbiome of triathletes at the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. 　　The highly competitive field combined with the gruelling conditions on the Pacific island of Hawaii will serve as the perfect venue for this project, which is being led...
How to deal with heavy legs on the bike
　　Can't get going on the bike leg post-swim? It's not unusual, and there are several factors and scenarios that could contribute to this frustrating situation mid-race. 　　Here are some considerations and tips to prevent and treat the feeling should it affect you. 　　Can the swim affect my bike leg performance? 　　If you've had a stressful swim – say you've been...
How to cycle uphill like a pro
　　Whether we’re competing at a pimply Perranporth Triathlon or a pancake-flat Dorney, many of our training rides require the strength, skills and necessary strategies to peak up (and downhill) as, unless you live in East Anglia, ride long enough and you’ll be heading upwards… and then downwards. 　　Hills should be an integral part of your training plan. They naturally build...
How to switch intensities on the bike
　　Elite, draft–legal bike legs can be brutal. Yes, high-aerobic threshold power is critical to be able to deal with the racing demands but there’s more to it than that. 　　Short laps on the bike generally mean lots of corners, so lots of decelerating and accelerating, while large packs make the effort more like an on/off light switch. 　　Often the hardest...
