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.

The 2024 Sweat Science Holiday Book List
  Nothing says “winter holidays” to me like the combo of a cold day, a warm fire, a soft couch, and a book.

GoPro HERO13 Review: Cinema-Quality Features and a Few Frustrations
  “Can you hit that jump again?” I ask photographer Brooks Curran, who, I’m discovering, is also a very talented mountain biker.   “Yeah, no problem, he responds, undeterred by how massive these dirt jumps are. The last time he went off the jump, I missed the shot with the GoPro HERO13’s new burst slo-mo feature. That was OK, though, because Brooks...

The Best Deal in Shotguns: ATA Arms NEO X Max-7 Review
  I know Im a little snooty when it comes to shotguns. But darned if the ATA Arms NEO X Max-7, a sub-$550 semi-auto shotgun, won me over and quickly. Simply put, this might be the best value in shotguns today, shoot maybe ever.   So before I get into why I find the ATA Arms NEO X Max-7 so freaking good,...
Making Thanksgiving Dinner Doesn’t Have to be Stressful. Here’s What You Need to Know.
  I used to have a recurring dream in which I’m sitting on my mat awaiting instructions from a panel of my yoga teachers. I’m at an Iyengar yoga assessment, for which I’m completely unprepared. And I am terrified. After what seems like an eternity, they tell me my task: I’m to carve a Thanksgiving turkey right there on my mat...
BeerJunkie 2-for-1: Dortmunder Gold Lager & Gunner’s Daughter Milk Stout Review
  For the record, you shouldnt judge a beer by its can — but as Paul The BeerJunkie Pabst proves, sometimes a great brew can be as beautiful on the outside as it is in the first sip.   This week, Pabst has two brews (part of his Two-fer Holiday Special) that couldnt be more different. From Cleveland, Great Lakes Brewings Dortmunder...
What Does It Take to Ski 3 Million Vertical Feet? We Asked Noah Dines.
  When skier Noah Dines answered my phone call in late November, he was skinning up a 400-vertical foot stretch of artificial snow at Waterville Valley Resort in central New Hampshire. Anyone who skis uphill at a resort knows the activity is pretty uninspiring, akin to running on a treadmill, but Dines didnt care—he was chasing a record. If you caught...
How to Visit Jackson Hole on the Cheap—You Just Need to Know These Tips
  Ski trips shouldn’t be relegated to the rich and even richer. We all deserve to go powder chasing midwinter without dissolving our bank accounts. But these days, finding a budget way to ski requires serious homework. You can always venture away from the headliner areas to smaller, less crowded local ski hills that want to entice visitors through budget deals,...
How Milkweed Inn Challenged My Idea of Food
  It’s not that I don’t like food. I do. I carry frozen cheesecakes on winter expeditions. They’re caloric and they don’t freeze hard, so you can bite off chunks without chipping your teeth. I once ate the same dead catfish boiled over a fire for three days. Was it good? Absolutely not. I like cardamom, snap peas, and Asian pears....
Ready for Winter Adventures: Michelin X-Ice Snow Tire Review
  It’s 23 degrees and snowing hard. It’s the first good snow of the winter and there’s 6 inches of fresh powder on top of what was clear, rain-slicked pavement just a few days ago. The outlook for the next couple of months is a continuation of the same, with small warming breaks between storms.   That can make winter driving conditions...

Costa Sunglasses Are Wildly on Sale for Black Friday
  You know what they say: Good shades aint cheap. I was a gas station sunglass wearer for most of my life until I actually had a nice pair of sunglasses.
