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.

Swift, Slick, and Sturdy Vehicle Awning: Kammok Crosswing Review
  Some vehicle awnings were quick to deploy and retract, but folded in winds I considered weak. Others required much more effort and sometimes two people to set up. Putting them away could be incredibly inconvenient and time-consuming. And I didnt consider any of them adventure-ready, meaning I could get them up as soon as a rainstorm blew in, and they...

Lighter, Cheaper, Faster: BioLite Charge 100 Max Review
  Early on, I adopted a blurred background for Zoom meetings — no one needed to know I might be taking that meeting from the parking lot of my favorite local trail. And I don’t see the way I work changing any time soon. If anything, I see myself working more remotely and spending more time on Hipcamp looking up future...
Janja Garnbret Is the Simone Biles of Climbing: You Need to See It to Believe It
  Every Olympic Games brings us a small handful of iconic moments. Often, these moments come from athletes so dominant in their sport that they stand out even among the best competitors in the world.   And, as this years Paris Games have already shown — its not always about winning a gold medal.   Brazilian surfer Gabriel Medina captured the worlds attention...
Shock Value ‘Hunters’ Fuel Anti-Hunting Fire: We Must Demand Higher-Caliber Ethics
  Ethical behavior is doing the right thing when no one else is watching — even when doing the wrong thing is legal. — Aldo Leopold   I begin this story with this classic Aldo Leopold quote because, lets face it, mistakes happen. At one point or another, every hunter makes mistakes. Some are small and insignificant. Some lead to longer treks...
Budget-Beater Luggage: Rockland Melbourne 20 Carry-On Review
  Airline travel is rough on luggage, and when some carry-on baggage bashing is inevitable these days, there seem to be two practical approaches: Frequent fliers may elect for the crème de la crème of bags — sturdy, long-lasting, and, often, pricey. Others, however, just need the dang bag to get there in one piece — without forking over half your...
KEEN’s Hyperport H2 Hybrid Adventure Sandal Is Ready for the Water
  Few states hold as many hidden treasures as Nevada. Minerals, mountains and majestic, sparsely populated landscapes are par for the course. But less high on the Nevada adventure radar? Hot springs. Lots of ’em.   Sure, the state looks incredibly dry when you’re zooming through on I-80, but that topography hides some of the most geothermally active zones in the United...
Retro Looks Meet All-Day Comfort: L.L.Bean Women’s Mountain Classic Quilted Booties Review
  There’s no better feeling than slipping into a warm pair of down booties after a long day of skiing. Especially when the booties you’ve bought are easy to throw on and pretty much mold to your feet after a few wears.   I rocked the L.L.Bean Womens Mountain Classic Quilted Booties during a seemingly never-ending winter here in Colorado. For the...
