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.

No Fireworks? No Problem. Alaskans Celebrate Fourth of July by Launching Cars Off a Cliff
  For years, Alaskans have been gathering on the Fourth of July for a unique and destructive tradition known as the Glacier View Car Launch. While most towns and cities in America celebrate the holiday with fireworks displays, local bans on pyrotechnics make it illegal throughout much of the state. The alternative? Launching junkyard vehicles off a 300-foot cliff into an...
2026 Nissan Sentra First Drive Review: Keeping the Affordable Sedan Alive
  The Nissan Sentra has been a steadfast sedan offering for 43 years. In fact, Nissan has sold some 6.5 million Sentras over nine generations since 1982.   Fast forward to the present, and sedans of all sizes seem to be losing popularity in favor of endless hordes of crossovers. Nissan even axed its own Maxima sedan in 2023, and there’s a...
A Backcountry Ski That Feels at Home Inbounds: Blizzard Zero G 96 Review
  There are plenty of frontside skis I’d take into the backcountry because even if they’re a bit heavy on the climb, they’re worth it for the downhill. The reverse has never been true for me. I cant think of any backcountry-specific skis that really hold up against inbounds-focused skis when it comes to lift-served terrain.   On most days when I...
Big Grille, Elegant Body, Rugged Intent: 2027 Kia Telluride X-Pro Revealed
  Kia is about to launch a brand-new Telluride. The three-row SUV is getting longer and taller, but its the design that is going to catch your attention.   Our first look is at the rugged Kia Telluride X-Pro trim, and it comes with a 1960s car face and a Range Rover–like rear end. Between the front and rear, the new SUV...
Last Chance: Buy Your 2025-2026 Epic Pass or Forever Hold Your Peace
  Ski season is here, the resorts are opening, and if you haven’t bought a season pass yet, your time is running out — at least, for the Epic Pass. Vail Resorts announced that on Nov. 16, the Epic Pass will be pulled from sale. That leaves any prospective (procrastinator) buyers less than 1 week to pull the trigger.   So far, among Vail’s...
Rod Johnson, Founder of Midwest Mountaineering, Dies at 76
  The outdoor industry lost one of its pioneers last month. Rodney Johnson, who founded Minneapolis-based outdoor store Midwest Mountaineering, passed away at the age of 76 on October 26.   Johnson operated the store for over 50 years, helping an untold number of folks enjoy the great outdoors.   Who Was Rodney Johnson? Johnson was an avid outdoorsman, climber, hiker, and paddler....
I Let a Headband Hack My Brain for Better Sleep (I Think It Worked): ‘Elemind’ Sleep Headband Review
  If I’d seen this thing a few years ago, I’d have laughed. A headband that listens to your brain and uses your brainwaves to nudge you toward sleep sounds like a plot point from a bad sci-fi movie.   Good sleep fixes more than good coffee ever could. It sharpens focus, speeds recovery, and makes long days in the field or...
Lightweight Support for Epic Trails: Salewa Launches Its All-New Pedroc 2 Powertex Shoe
  Avid hikers know that it takes a special kind of shoe to hit that elusive sweet spot between heavy (but supportive) hiking boots and ultralight (but squishy) trail runners. For trail trekkers who want the best of both worlds, look no further — Salewa’s new Pedroc 2 Powertex (Mens Womens) is a nimble hiking shoe that’s light and stable enough...

  For a limited time this week, you wont have to travel to Alaska or Iceland to see the Aurora Borealis, aka the Northern Lights. Residents across a swath of the U.S. will have the chance to see the enchanting phenomenon tonight.   Heres what you need to know.   What Are the Northern Lights? According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration...
Quicker and Much More Fuel Efficient for Just $2K: 2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid Review
  Once I come to a complete stop on a barren straight patch of Texas highway, the engine automatically shuts off. Undeterred, I hold the brake with my left foot and bury the accelerator with my right foot. Nothing happens. That is, until I lift my left foot from the brake.   In the blink of an eye, the engine kicks on...
Trump Issues First Pardon for Cutting a Switchback: Michelino Sunseri Saga Reaches Surprise End
  After more than a year of controversy and court battles, the Michelino Sunseri saga has taken a surprising turn. On Nov. 10, President Donald J. Trump pardoned the ultra-athlete, who in September 2024 was charged with cutting a switchback in Grand Teton National Park (GTNP) during a Fastest Known Time (FKT) attempt.   Sunseri was subsequently found guilty in September 2025...
SEMA 2025 Best in Show: The Automotive Gear That Stood Out
  Every year, I scour the annual SEMA Show to find the best new vehicles and products on display. The 2025 show had some highlights, but was thin on innovation and truly new products worth talking about.   There is little doubt that the pandemic, supply chain issues, tariffs, and economic uncertainties have impacted the automotive aftermarket. Business consolidation remains a prevailing...
