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.

Buy It for Life: Is a $760 Carry-On Worth It?
  Until a few months ago, Id never heard of Saddleback Leather Company. But today, Im looking at a $760 leather duffel bag that appears to be from another century. The Deep Pocket Leather Duffle shines with heavy hardware and sturdy stitching that could have been inspired by the 1800s.   And frankly, barring some sort of over-the-top disaster, I expect itll...
A Line We Shouldn’t Cross: Why Alex Honnold’s Live Skyscraper Climb Is a Step Too Far
  I like Alex Honnold. A lot. Not in the casual, “I watched the movie” way. I like Honnold, the person. I particularly respect something that’s rare in a modern celebrity: He’s exactly the same person on-camera that he is away from it.   The bluntness. The oddball pragmatism. The almost clinical way he talks about risk, fear, and effort. Most public...
Serious Warmth at a Standout Price: REI Co-op Women’s Campwell Down Parka Review
  The REI Campwell Down Parka is like a comforting cup of cocoa on a chilly day. After 3 weeks of testing this womens parka around Colorados Roaring Fork Valley, I found it delivers serious warmth and coziness when you want it most. And it comes at a price thats tough to beat.   This jacket replaces REI’s older Norseland Parka, and...

Bone-Dry Storm Gear for the Sopping-Wet Angler: Columbia Force XII Collection
  As a native Cape-Codder, foul-weather and chilly temps are arguably the two biggest challenges to enjoying my fall and winter fishing trips. While run-and-gun fishing offshore and getting clobbered by the rain and breakers from the beach, Fort Knox-level storm gear is the only way I endure the elements and keep fishing.   Enter the Columbia Force XII Collection, an iron-wall...
Colorado to Pause Gray Wolf Reintroduction Through 2026
  Since its inception in 2020, Colorado Parks and Wildlifes (CPW) gray wolf reintroduction program has been a hotbed of controversy. The plan to source wolves from Oregon and Canada and release them in Colorado has sparked criticism from livestock owners, as well as a split with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).   Now, the program has hit a major...
Warmth and Comfort at a Fair Price: The North Face Montana Ski Gloves Review
  Cold hands can ruin a ski day faster than anything. Thats why Im so picky about what goes on my digits. Get this wrong, and it doesnt matter how good the snow is. Youll spend the day thinking about numb fingers instead of powdery turns.   Luckily, The North Face Montana ski gloves are built for skiing. They’re not trying to...
Affordable Coziness for Downhill Resort Laps: REI Women’s Powderbound Insulated Ski Jacket
  I didnt need many ski runs to understand what the Powderbound womens ski jacket does best. Tested during an early-season weekend at Aspen Snowmass, I quickly realized its a comfortable, no-fuss resort jacket that prioritizes warmth and thoughtful attributes over technical bells and whistles.   And this is a good thing. The Powderbound is part of REI’s value-oriented ski lineup. It’s...

House Votes to Allow Mining Near Boundary Waters
  The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) in Minnesota is a popular spot with paddlers, hikers, and anglers. Soon, it may be opened for nearby mining, which critics argue will damage its pristine nature. On Wednesday, Jan. 21, the House of Representatives passed a bill to overturn a 20-year ban on mining in the area.   The Area      (Photo/Sean McCoy)...
