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.

What to Do If Your New Healthy Habits Just Aren’t Working Out
  Now that the excitement of New Year’s has long worn off, you might find yourself de-prioritizing the list of resolutions you made at the top of the year.

Weird AF Bike Frame: Cannondale SuperX Bends Carbon for Speed and Comfort
  Carbon fiber is known for its incredible stiffness and strength-to-weight ratio. The bicycle industry leverages these properties to create the most energy-efficient and lightweight machines possible.

Cannondale launched the SuperX gravel race bike today, and instantly, the images...
The Ultimate Go-Anywhere Cross Country Ski: Fischer Spider 62 Crown Xtralite Review
  The Fischer Spider 62 Crown Xtralite Cross-Country Skis with TURNAMIC Bindings ($369) are meant for the trail less traveled. Deep in the Colorado backcountry, I cruised confidently through everything from rolling hills to tight trees.   The following day, I crushed out a few quick laps on the groomed trails out my door in Crested Butte. How could I do both on one...

Forget Roses. The Best Valentine’s Day Gift is Quality Time Outdoors Together.
  Forget roses. I don’t need chocolate. And the last thing I want to do for Valentine’s Day is go out to an overpriced prix fixe dinner. What I want for Valentine’s Day, and what I think is the most valuable gift from one partner to another, is to spend quality time together in the great outdoors. Time outside together is...
Catch More Zs While Traveling: Ozlo Sleepbuds’ Comfy Solution to Noisy Nights
  Few things make sleeping more difficult than the nightly hijinks of drunk musicians.   I used to spend several months on the road every year touring with a band, and the most difficult part by far was simply getting some shut-eye. My ultimate solution involved covering my eyes with a bandana, and — more importantly — shoving whatever pair of hard plastic...
