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.

The Biggest Breakthrough in Trail Camera Tech: Tactacam Reveal Ultra Trail Camera Review

Unfortunately, I didnt get to, thanks to...

As Bear Attacks Increase, Scientists Hope AI Can Reduce Conflicts

Precise, Progressive, 4-Buckle Goodness for Speedy Skiers: Nordica Promachine 3 First Look
  Its been a garbage snow year in Colorado so far, which means a whole lot of turns on groomers and not much back bowl action. Fortunately, those groomers are magnificent testing grounds for Nordicas newest flagship boot, the Promachine 3.   So I leaned hard on my uphill boot, throttling into the Faction Dancer skis I was also testing, and let...
Spot, Snap, Search: AI Binoculars Take Pics, ID Birds

Now for sure, these aren’t...
