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 Best Dumbbells of 2024
  Dumbbells can be used for everything from competitive powerlifting training to cardio dance classes. They can apply to a nearly unlimited amount of movements and work almost any muscle in your body. But selecting a dumbbell isn’t as simple as picking one up and lifting it. Dumbbells can range in weight from one pound to 150 pounds and beyond.   Dumbbells...
‘Disturbing and Very Unusual’: Authorities Seek Info in Hunt for Spiked Dog Treat Perpetrator on AT
  On Sunday, May 5, a hiker made an unnerving discovery on a section of the Appalachian Trail (AT) between PA Route 873 and the George W. Outerbridge Shelter in Pennsylvania. Scattered on the ground were handfuls of dog treats set with large barbed fishhooks — a potentially lethal snack for any passing pooch.   The discovery was reported by the Lehigh...

  Want a camper trailer that can sleep four adults, has a full bathroom, and is seriously off-road capable? If so, the Mammoth Overland Tall Boy Genesis Edition might just be for you.

The Easiest Way to Stay Sun-Safe Outside
  Greasy, sunscreen-coated skin is a discomfort for many outdoor enthusiasts. The oily lotion on your hands makes it hard to grip rock, and the layer spread onto your arms and legs becomes a grit and dust magnet on hiking trails. But the sun doesn’t care what your plans are. If you don’t protect your skin while recreating outside, you’ll pay...
Queer Ascent: Arc’teryx Adds LGBTQ-Only Clinics to Annual Climbing Academy
  Registration opens on Thursday for Arcteryxs climbing academy in Squamish, British Columbia. The annual event offers clinics from icons like Will Gadd and modern crushers like Alannah Yip, helping climbers achieve their next goals.   But Arcteryx also has a separate event in Truckee, Calif., this month. It aims to teach many of the same skills — but exclusively for LGBTQ...

The Best Motorcycle Boots of 2024
  Unless you only ride off-road or race tracks, every motorcycle boot has a compromise. Walkability and comfort dont mesh with maximum protection. But its possible to find footwear for riding that’s protective, relatively walkable, and doesn’t look outlandish. That trifecta is the bull’s-eye of this list.Beyond that focus, we wanted to find moto boots that nail comfort.   We skewed this...

(Gear)icatures: How Carl the Carpenter Stays Weather Ready and Gets the Job Done
  Carl the Carpenter loves working hard. Well … he wants to love it, but construction is a young man’s game, and Carl’s no spring chicken. It’s not his first rodeo — or tenth, for that matter.   He works for the weekend. Most evenings, before heading home to his wife and kiddos — you can find him propped on his tailgate,...
The Best Motorcycle Helmets of 2024
  In most states riding without a motorcycle helmet is illegal. Honestly, we also think you should never ride without a cap. Because if you can read this sentence, that’s thanks to your brain: the most crucial tool you own. A brain makes life enjoyable! And full face motorcycle helmets protect your precious cargo.   That said, there are a lot of...
Forage-Friendly Flipper: Vosteed Griffin Hawkbill Knife Review
  Foraging is a lost art that I find incredibly rewarding in the warmer months. It usually starts with fiddleheads and ramps at the beginning of May. Then the hunt for morel mushrooms starts around Mother’s Day, as long as the weeks leading up have been warm and rainy. After that, there’s a wide variety of berries — low- and high-bush...
