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.

Hollywood’s Latest Rack Is Its Best Yet: Hollywood Racks CrossTrack Review
  Hollywood Racks might not be the first brand that comes to mind when considering a new hitch bike rack. Its latest model, the CrossTrack, aims to change that.

Where Mystery Ranch Ends and YETI Begins: Ranchero EDC Backpack Review
  If it aint broke, dont fix it. Those wise words often conflict with the increasingly consumer-driven, never-satisfied outdoor industry. Its not inherently nefarious (mostly); outdoor athletes, recreational adventurers, and daily grinders will wear down, nitpick, and expose areas of improvement time and again.   Sometimes, a small change results in massive backlash, while other times, a sweeping change will drastically evolve...

How to Train Your Physiological Resilience
  Everyone has a plan, Mike Tyson famously said, until they get punched in the face. The endurance athlete’s version of that dictum might be: everyone has a great VO2 max and an efficient running stride until they’ve run 20 miles. How you fare in those final miles depends, in large part, on how steeply these factors have declined over the...
U.S. Tariff War Likely to Have Massive Impact on New Car Prices
  Earlier this week, U.S. President Donald Trump enacted new 25% tariffs against Canada and Mexico — while also increasing previous duties targeting China. While Trump subsequently decided to delay enacting the new duties against automobiles and auto parts for a month, virtually every vehicle on the market could see a significant increase in cost if a resolution to the trade...

Driving a Rental Car in the Snow Is a Recipe for Disaster. Here’s How to Stay Safe.
  I’d put on tire chains before, and I might have set a speed record for attaching them had I been in my own driveway. But, somewhere on the side of a snowy mountain pass in the tiny alpine country of Andorra, all that muscle memory evaporated. We’d bought the correct chains for our vehicle down in town, but now they...
