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.

How to Pack for Air Travel Like the Ultimate Pro
  It’s fun to imagine an apocalyptic scenario, and purchase the kind of neon green tomahawk you think will help you defeat zombie hoards. (Spoiler alert: it won’t.) But when it comes to preparing for more likely situations—say, an emergency while traveling—many of us are guilty of being caught flat-footed.   I get it. With severely limited space in carry-on luggage, plus...
The 19 Funniest Mountain Project Comments on Yosemite Routes
  Sometimes, we go to Mountain Project for the beta. But sometimes, we go for the chat. And sometimes, the chat is funny. We’ve seen brawls break out over bolts and grades. Stoke-spangled reviews—and ho-hum appraisals of testpieces. Crusty cameos. Sketchy ethics. And non-sequiturs that add to the lore of the classics.   Here are 19 of the funniest Mountain Project comments...
Off-Roading With Italian Flair: Pirelli Scorpion XTM Revew
  If a tire makes you happy, were happy. Its a simple sentiment, but its one I like. Its not limited to Pirellis on-track performance tires, and the companys exec says it applies to even its boring road car tires. And, of course, its latest, the Pirelli Scorpion XTM, is the first tire meant for buyers who plan on spending a...
Shoes That Help Muscles Recover: Roll Recovery SUPERPLUSH Classic Review
  It’s not that I don’t believe the research showing that exercising consistently without recovery time can lead to decreased strength gains and possibly injury. It’s just that finding the time to take these breaks is hard. Needless to say, when a product that promised multitasking recovery benefits rolled across my desk, I was intrigued, especially since it came from a...
Get Ready for Backpacking Season With These Gear Picks From REI
  With warm weather on the way, now is the perfect time to prepare for spring backpacking adventures. That means dusting off the trail shoes, making lists of must-hike routes, and examining that tent seam you promised to fix last fall.   As you take inventory of your backcountry kit, you can count on REI to fill in the gaps and ensure...
Fill Your Own 1-Lb. Propane Bottles at the Station: Ignik Launches ‘TapRack’
  A buddy of mine nearly blew his garage up trying to refill his 1-pound propane bottles for his camping grill. Dont be like my buddy.   Refilling disposable propane bottles at home is downright dangerous (just ask my buddy) and even illegal in most places due to the hazards. But those classic green bottle propane tanks serve us so well for...
Hiking with Your Dog? Watch Out for These Dangerous Plants
  While hiking a snowy mesa in Flagstaff, Arizona, I noticed my dog was limping. Every few steps, she’d tuck up her back paw and hop on three legs. We stopped, and I knelt to inspect. There, piercing her paw pad, was a long cactus spine. Gently, I held her paw and pulled it straight out. I hadn’t noticed the hazard...
Kayak Turkey Hunting: Gear Up, Rig Right, Tag Out
  Most turkey hunters overlook one of the most effective tools: the kayak. When properly rigged, a kayak becomes your stealthy, silent partner, getting you closer to wary gobblers, accessing untouched terrain, and helping you outpace other hunters. A smart kayak setup doesnt just boost your odds; it transforms your entire turkey hunting experience.   My a-ha moment came early one spring...
Better Than the Fan-Favorite Original: Tecnica Zero G Tour Pro Boot Review
  You’re lucky if you show up to a foot or more of blower powder, blanketing the jagged peaks and tumbling glaciers around Chamonix. So I didn’t squander the opportunity. I pushed my jet-lagged body into the backcountry to bounce and slice through the powder lap after lap, stopping only to gape at my surroundings.    But even in this Eden of...
Automakers Scramble to Respond to Trump’s Tariff War
  While the new trade sanctions are expected to add thousands to the cost of the typical new vehicle, even those assembled in the U.S., some manufacturers promise to hold the line on prices — for now.   On Friday, Hyundai launched a new “Customer Assurance” program that aims to soothe consumer fears about the potential impact of the new Trump tariffs on...
Perfect E-Motorcycle for Commutes and Light Off-Road Jaunts: Zero FX Dual Sport Review
  Dual-sport motorcycles are all about versatility. They’re fun on the street and capable in the dirt. And they can even pull budget-friendly adventure duty with a few choice modifications.   With that being said, the dual-sport genre can be a tough one to define. On one end, you’ve got mild-mannered and uber-reliable staples like the Honda CRF300L. While on the other,...
The E-Bike of the Seas: Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu ePDL+ 120 Review
  “So, is it really kayaking, then?” A small crowd had gathered around the dock to inspect the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu ePDL+, the first recreational kayak to incorporate an electric pedal drive. I’m not sure they were immediately sold.   The neo-Luddite in me was steadfast: of course not. But, softening, I reconsidered. Yes, of course. Maybe? The Malibu is...
