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.

Flatwater-Friendly, Whitewater-Tough: Liquidlogic Remix XP Kayak Review
  “You want to Rochambeau on it?” My paddling partner and I were scouting the first of the S-Bend rapids on Washington’s Skagit River, and while not the rowdiest water, my kayak was full to the brim with overnight camping kit, making for an unknown element in how it would fare.   Carrying all this kit in a whitewater boat is a...
Forgiving, Tough, and Fun Down Whitewater: Glide Lochsa 3.0 SUP Review
  Sometimes, you end up having a much tougher day on the water than you anticipated. Thats what happened to me in March, when I returned to my favorite section of the Chattahoochee River to test the Glide Lochsa Whitewater SUP 3.0 against some Class II-III whitewater.   Unfortunately, I made a classic rookie mistake — I neglected to check the water...

Video: This Puffy Jacket Made Mount Everest Base Camp Feel Like Home
  Conditions can be inhospitable at the foot of Mount Everest. Swirling winds blow snow and debris, overnight temperatures drop below zero degrees Fahrenheit, and the midday sun will burn uncovered skin and gear.   Our Everest correspondent, Ben Ayers, recently spent a month living at the Mount Everest Base Camp. During that time, Ayers tested a long list of gear, from...
Cushion for Long Days — Just Stick to the Trail: Nike Wildhorse 10 Review
  I grew up running track and cross-country competitively in southern Colorado, when there were no trail running shoes available anywhere, even at specialty running stores. The luxury of choice simply didn’t exist for trail runners back then. As a kid, I ran the trails in daily trainers meant for the road.   I can recall a time when the Salomon XA...

The Best Rubber Hunting Boots of 2025
  For hunters who find themselves stationary hunting in the cold or tromping through creeks and flooded fields, rubber hunting boots are a must. Sure, you can get by with your standard hunting boots, but youll quickly find yourself with frozen digits. Ive hunted whitetails in December in mountain hunting boots, which were far from ideal. With minimal insulation, it became...
This Pair of Sleep Headphones Helps You Sleep Comfortably
  I was at the gym, listening to Tim Ferriss’ Tribe of Mentors: Short Life Advice From the Best in the World, when an interviewee mentioned that a pair of sleep headphones had transformed their once-wakeful nights. A lifelong insomniac, I immediately set down my dumbbells, grabbed my phone, and placed an order.   A week later, my AcousticSheep SleepPhones arrived.   (TL;DR:...
My Favorite Running Gear for When It’s Hot as Hell Outside
  Like many runners, each evening I tell myself that I’m going to wake up at 5 a.m., get out the door at 6, and be home by 7. But more often I sleep through my alarm, or have to deal with an early-morning kiddo problem, and end up running midday. And by high noon, my hometown of Albuquerque, New Mexico,...
