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.

Kei Cars Coming? Trump Wants ‘Very Small,’ ‘Really Cute’ Cars to Be Sold in the US
  On Dec. 3, the Trump administration held a press conference announcing a shift in fuel economy regulations. However, if you were paying attention, Trump also basically said he’d like to see kei cars offered in the U.S. While he didn’t specifically call out the term “kei” (pronounced “kay”), he was clearly referring to them.

Watch ‘Inaccessible’ Trailer: Skier, Hunter Griffin Post Explores How Unreachable Public Land Affects Everyone
  In the U.S., over 16 million acres of public land are inaccessible because theyre locked up behind private parcels.

Dometic Recon Cooler Review: Smart Design With Real-World Usability
  It started with the yellow. The Dometic Recon cooler is hard to miss: bright, bold, and easy to spot in the back of a Jeep or tucked among camping gear. When I pulled the 41L version into rotation for testing around Colorado’s Roaring Fork Valley, I was curious whether this injection-molded cooler could deliver more than just good looks.   Of...
SITKA MicroDown Jacket Cuts Weight, Not Warmth

The folks at SITKA Gear are very familiar with living out of a backpack, and in light of the beginning phrase,...
Columbia Trolls Flat-Earthers: Take a Photo and ‘Win’ the Whole Company
  Its hard to take flat-Earthers seriously — but maybe we should at least acknowledge them.

Tim Boyle actually makes a proposition for those who believe in this strange view of...
BOA Killer? ‘Zip’ Laces Quietly Impress at 2025 ‘Running Event’
  At first glance, I wasnt sure I was looking at the future of footwear. I stood on the edge of a cramped booth at the farthest edge of The Running Event in San Antonio.
