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.

Smear Butter on Big Terrain: Scott SEA 108 Review
  This was the best day of the season! The Sunday sun shined bright overhead after a massive storm blasted Colorado throughout the day before. Eighteen inches far surpassed the forecasted 7, and there were easily 2 feet of fresh coldsmoke powder (if you knew where to look).   And look we did: My friends and I barreled and slashed through deep...
Should We Spare a Cougar That Attacked a Child?
  Dear Sundog,    Last September, in California’s Malibu Creek State Park, a mountain lion pounced on a five-year-old child.

The lion was behaving just as nature intended. — People against he Unethical Murder of Animals   Dear PUMA,   This...
I Worked Out Like 82-Year-Old Mick Jagger for a Week. Here’s What Happened.
  Mick Jagger is 82 years old and on the Rolling Stones “Hackney Diamonds” tour. The shows run somewhere between two and two-and-a-half hours long. Jagger is running, gyrating, singing, and dancing at each one. I couldn’t help but notice that Jagger is in incredible shape—for a person at any age. How does he do it? And what would it feel...

Yoshino Power B4000 SST Power Station Review: Swanky, Solid State, and Safer
  My partner and I were camping on a friend’s land when he rolled up and found us testing the Yoshino Power B4000 SST. Like us, he’s a connoisseur of portable power stations, and I could tell from his inquisitive grin that he was already plotting ways to convince us to part with it.   He was initially enamored because it doesn’t...
