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.

Memory Foam Molded to Your Feet: Meindl MFS-Vakuum Hiker Review
  I used to dread breaking in new hiking boots whenever I finally had to retire a pair Id beaten to death. New pairs of boots always pinched, rubbed, and squeezed my feet in weird ways until, eventually, they would soften up and relent.   For whatever reason, that process has gotten easier over the years. Maybe I just got used to...
All the Muscle, None of the Fat: Kenetrek Bridger High Hunting Boot Review
  I’ve worn Kenetrek boots on and off for years. Despite trying different brands and styles of boots, quality and dependability always bring me back to a pair of Kenetreks.   The new Bridger High offering fills the gaps in the straight leather heavy-duty hunting boot market. While every boot fills a different need, the Bridger High will surely be a go-to...
EXØD ‘Air Station Pod-01’ Is a $2,000 Portable, Inflatable Home
  The evolution of the tent has been a wild ride. Simple lean-to tents have been discovered dating back to 40,000 BCE. Theyve been used by nomadic tribes, armies, and traveling circuses in the millennia since. Then, in the mid-20th century, the classic survival tent, most often used for recreational camping and backpacking today, came into being.   Tent tech has been...

Onewheel Rally, Filson Camp Chair, Knog MTB Light, and More Emerging Gear
  When the going gets hot, weve all got to be a little more creative. If daytime temperatures feel overwhelming, why not have some outdoor fun in the cooler moments at night? That was my first thought when gazing at the beautiful night photography for Knogs new MTB bike light.   It made me reflect on night climbing in Central Texas to...
Lighter, Cheaper, Roomier: Blue Coolers Ice Vault Review
  For a number of years, coolers have been all the rage. With about a million options for what seems like the same cooler over and over again on the shelves, how do you even know which one to choose?   Lets face it. We are still living in the era of YETI. Its almost impossible to review or even speak about...

Fjallraven Kajka 35 Review: Wooden Stays Support This Durable Backpack
  Theres a lot to consider when buying a backpack, and for many shoppers, packs tend to look more alike than different. But when recently shopping for packs, I bumped into the Fjallraven Kajka 35, and the frame became the reason I ended up picking that specific pack.   Most internal frame packs have stays made from metal or carbon fiber. For...
2025 Nissan Rogue Gets Rock Creek Off-Roader
  The Nissan Rogue just got more rugged. The 2025 Nissan Rogue Rock Creek adds a chunky new front fascia, more cladding, and all-terrain tires. Some versions of the Rogue are also more tech-heavy with the addition of an invisible hood camera view and ProPilot Assist 2.1 hands-off highway driving, but those features will be surprisingly absent from the new off-road...
Wiley X Is Sneaky Good: ‘WX Founder’ Sunglasses Are a Pleasant Surprise
  Reviewing sunglasses is tricky business. Its really hard to quantify things like clear, sharp, or defined. But those adjectives tend to roll off the page, describing good optics without much support.   Historically, a handful of top sunglasses brands have earned those accolades consistently. Although Wiley X is good, it hasnt been one of them.   Until now. Ive worn the Wiley...
Neso 1 Beach Tent Review: Not Your Average Beach Umbrella
  Have you ever had your flimsy old beach umbrella blow away after just the smallest gust of wind at the beach? Its a beautiful, sunny day and the perfect opportunity to relax by the water, but the lack of reliable sun coverage hinders the whole experience. You can feel a sunburn forming, and there is no shade to read a...
