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.

  If you own a pair of boobs you understand the struggle of finding the perfect sports bra. The unsung (often invisible) heroes of any outdoor activity, sports bras can make or break a day.

The 4 Types of Archery Bows: Recurve, Longbow, Compound, and Crossbow

Here’s What I Wish I Knew Before Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail
  At the time, I thought I was a genius.   I was about 250 miles into the Pacific Crest Trail, still a relative novice. It was lunchtime, and as I looked through my food bag, I saw the usual suspects: ramen packets, peanut butter, and lots of high calorie snacks. I considered getting out my stove and cooking a “ramen bomb”—combining...

Is Your Local Bouldering Area in Trouble? Call the Zoo.
  At the summit of North Carolina’s Ridges Mountain lie hundreds of bulbous black boulders whose splitter cracks and vexing friction problems have long tested climbers during winter months when temperatures drop at the mountainous crags around Boone and Asheville.   But the Asheboro Boulders, created from granitic rock formations more than 586 million years old, have also drawn the interest of...
Purified Water on the Go, Just Add Salt: Aqua Research H2gO Global Purifier Review
  With over 30 years of hiking, backpacking, and camping, I’ve used my fair share of water filters. For years, I swore by the MSR MiniWorks. Then I used its HyperFlow Microfilter for a while. Recently, I’ve been using a Grayl Purifier. Overall, my experience with these devices has been great. However, all three rely on filters and elements that eventually...
Making It Look Way Too Easy: Dane Jackson Delivers in 2023 Highlight Reel
  Its pretty easy to make the argument that Dane Jackson is one of the very best — if not the best — whitewater kayakers on the planet, maybe ever. He was raised on the road traveling the world in a kayak, and continues that pursuit to this day.      In 2023, Dane turned 30, got engaged, and won his fifth...
Why Are People Afraid of Riding Bikes in Cotton?
  There are a few things you learn right away when you start cycling “seriously.” Carbon fiber is the best material for a bicycle. (False.)  You need to use clipless pedals for maximum efficiency. (Double false.)  And of course you should avoid wearing cotton, since it’s a very poor choice when it comes to cycling attire. (Wildly, ridiculously false.)   So what...
Cooper Tires Discoverer AT3 Review: Sticky When Slick
  The blizzard was somewhat unexpected. I woke in Breckenridge, Colo., to 8 inches of fresh snow and more in the air.   Id planned to go skiing, but a stomach bug and a pending chore stymied my plans. I needed to get up to Leadville to grab some gear for a buddy, and the roads would be horrible. Oh well, I...
