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.

Revamped Iconic Frames and Gold Glass Greatness: Costa Grand Catalina Review
  Sporting some killer new options for both frame styles and lens technology, we don’t know whether to be more excited about Costa’s new gold-mirrored lens or revamped Grand Catalina frames. Performance and style-driven, both of these deadly new offerings from Costa are excellent on their own and even better when paired together.   Costa has been busy. Just when I thought...
Nomad Grill & Smoker Review: This Portable Grill Actually Brings the Heat
  Everyone loves a backyard barbecue, but what if you don’t have a backyard? Not long ago, I ditched my house for a second-floor apartment. While I don’t miss mowing the lawn, the absence of convenient outdoor cooking hurts, as smoking and grilling have been huge fixtures of my year-round lifestyle, especially since beginning three book collaborations with barbecue master Aaron...
Kid-Friendly, Climber Approved: The ‘Via Ferrata’ Experience
  Its a crisp July morning in Jackson Hole. My kids are lined up at the base of a cliff, helmets on, and ready to climb.   You clip the cable and just go, our guide explains. A set of ladder rungs snakes 50 feet skyward, disappearing around a bend.   Id booked a half-day excursion to show my kids the proverbial ropes...
Add Music Without Losing the World Around You: Shokz ‘OpenFit Air’ Review
  Mobile music is a miracle. From airplanes to morning runs to conference calls from a park bench, earbuds have changed how we work and unwind. But they do have downsides: discomfort and disconnection from reality.   The Shokz OpenFit Air solves both these problems while still bumping the bass, ringing that treble, and sounding good enough to sing along. Just remember,...

  An intrepid spirit is all a good adventure dog truly needs—but having the right gear can help pups and their guardians enjoy the journey. Canine hikers can’t always advocate for themselves, so we prioritized products that put safety, comfort, and function at the forefront. For all the joy they give us, our favorite companions deserve the best.   At a Glance...
An Ode to My Overalls
  For six months last year, once a week between May and October, I put on a pair of overalls and played farm girl as a volunteer on a goat dairy near my home in Boulder, Colorado. I’ll soon start shifts for this summer. The experience has taught me a lot: That everything on a farm has a purpose. That nothing...
Plenty of Room to Grow: Osprey Poco Plus Review
  There are so many options for baby-wearing and child-carrying, and I, for one, was overwhelmed when I first looked into carriers. When I finally found the Osprey carriers, I felt a little more confident that my need to explore outdoor spaces would not be inhibited by my new tiny roommate.   This leading brand in backpacking gear delivers in all the...
5 Ways to Get Equipped for Off-Road Adventure
  It’s no surprise that overlanding is booming—when it comes to outdoor adventure, there’s nothing more accessible. With a few key pieces of gear, you can explore the backcountry and camp in comfort in the most remote places. But that doesn’t mean you should just hop in your vehicle and leave the pavement behind. You can avoid a lot of trial...
Driving Toward a Better Future
  Some vehicles are so popular they have their own online forums. Others even have IRL followings. But the Defender community takes fandom to a new level, gathering for an annual festival and celebrating the Defender Service Awards presented by CHASE, which support mission-driven nonprofits with cash and a customized Defender 130. Applications for the 2024 Defender Service Awards will be accepted from June...
The 10 Best National Parks in Canada
  Yosemite, Great Smoky Mountains, Acadia …. We spend a lot of time salivating over the national parks in the U.S., but there’s a brilliant system of goodies just across the border in Canada. Try Banff. But how many can you even name?   Our neighbors to the north have 37 national parks and 10 national-park reserves. The latter are managed in...
First Look Review: COROS’ First Bike Computer, the DURA
  COROS rolls into cycling today with the DURA, the brands first foray into bike computers. This seems logical, as many of its wrist-mounted products, with just a few more functions, would function well as cycling computers if they had bigger readouts and were on the handlebar instead of the wrist.   I received a pre-launch sample, but Ive only ridden with...
