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.

Why You May Want to Consider Teaching Skiing As a Side Gig
  Like many New York City millennials, my partner and I moved upstate with our two rescue dogs early into the pandemic. We ended up in the Catskills near a ski mountain and I wasted no time applying for an instructor role. I’m now in my third year as a private ski lesson instructor, and I still work full-time during the...
Wagoneer S Launch Edition First Drive: A Solid Electric Crossover That Just Happens to Be a Jeep
  The new Wagoneer S debuted last year as the first all-electric Jeep in history, other than full-on prototypes shown off at Moab and SEMA. By finally delivering upon the promise of the 4xe nameplate — previously seen only on hybrid models — Jeep takes a different direction than those hardcore off-roaders, catering instead to the mid-size electric crossover market.   The...
Modern Look, Nostalgic Style: Saddleman Saddle Blanket Seat Covers Review
  If youve road tripped around the West, chances are youve seen the bench seat of an old truck covered with a woven saddle blanket. While theyre made to cushion a horses back, it turns out the durability, protection, and ability to absorb sweat also make that design fitting for a truck.   With a little bit of cowboy-boot-and-country-life flair, the Saddle...
An Ode to the Relationships We Owe to the Outdoors  
  The outdoors have a way of delivering to us our soulmates. Sometimes, that’s a romantic partner, discovered on a mountain-summit meet-cute. Other times, it’s the fiercely loyal friends we never knew we needed. Maybe you’ve noticed the same—that your best friends are your adventure friends. There’s a reason for that dynamic. The outdoors draws out the best and the worst...
Young Americans Are Drinking Less. How Will It Change Adventure Sports Culture?
  Mountain sports are saturated with alcohol. Summit beers, lift beers, après ski, post-ride happy hours, whiskey around the campfire—some days it feels like you could drink from beginning to end of your favorite outdoor activity. But as public health officials issue warnings over alcohol and younger Americans report that they drink less than previous generations, it’s worth asking whether our outdoor...
Knife Recall: GiantMouse Warns of Locking Defect in Folding Knives
  High-end knifemaker GiantMouse, in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), has issued a voluntary recall of its GM12 and GMP12 folding knives. The Michigan-based company warns of a laceration hazard posed by a potentially faulty locking mechanism. GiantMouse is asking owners of these knives to immediately stop using them and store them in a safe place, and to...
Portal Axles, Big Lift, Massive Torque: Audi Q6 Offroad Concept Is an Electric Monster
  The Q6 e-tron offroad concept is an Audi thats ready for anything. An EV with an extra 6 inches of ground clearance, portal axles, and some massive tow hooks on the front and rear bumpers. This is an Audi that could give any Jeep a run for its money crawling over rocks and then absolutely destroy it when its time...

How to Learn a New Sport with Your Significant Other
  It takes a lot to push yourself to your physical limit alongside a significant other. It takes even more to do so for 12 straight days in some of the country’s most unforgiving terrain. And yet that’s what Andrew Hamilton and Andrea Sansone did in July 2024, when they set the couple’s record for hiking all 58 of Colorado’s 14,000-foot...
I Wear This Running Gear All Day, Even on a Plane (And Nobody Knows It)
  On a quick trip to San Diego over the holidays, my friends couldn’t stop asking about the shoes I had worn on the plane and around town.   “Those are cute, who makes them?”   “Ooh, what are those?”   “You don’t run in those, though, do you?”   The answers to these questions were Tracksmith, my sneakiest, most versatile shoes, and yes, I...
Snake Yoga Is Terrifying and Transformative
  Growing up in South Florida, a mere 30 minutes from the Everglades, the creatures that go bump in the night never really scared me, especially when it came to snakes. When I discovered snake yoga was offered an hour away from my current home in West Los Angeles, California, I was intrigued. I’ve been practicing yoga for four years and...
The 13 Most Magical Long Walks In the World
  I’ve tackled sections of the Pacific Crest Trail—backpacking, day hiking, and trail running—but to think of taking months off to complete all 2,650 miles of this trail, which climbs mountain passes and traverses remote California, Oregon, and Washington, feels overwhelming. A long-distance walk, on the other hand, feels more manageable, like something any of us could pull off, given some...
