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.

Ram CEO Says ‘Tear It Up’: Cringeworthy Off-Road Truck Ad Moment
  More and more vehicles are getting the ruggedized treatment and/or being created for real off-road adventures. Advertising around such vehicles continues to push the boundaries of responsible off-road use in the name of hyping a product.

Acebeam Terminator M1 Review: Flashlight & Laser in One Small Package
  I was a kid working in a camping store in 1997. Princeton Tec launched its first LED module to replace its standard halogen headlamp bulb. I thought I was living in the future. Today, LEDs rule the lighting world, from flashlights and headlamps to home light bulbs.   But have you ever heard of LEP? It’s not a big deal if...

Modern Shilin Cutter: Fox Knives ‘Chilin’ Review
  I have phases where I become laser-focused on a particular style of knife, knife steel, or handle material. Right now, I am down a rabbit hole with Micarta (green canvas, to be exact). It’s not just the way it looks; it’s also the way it feels and performs in all conditions.   In my obsession with this material, I happily stumbled...

Research Suggests Trans Women Don’t Have a Complete Athletic Advantage
  In the last few years, women’s sports have been a highly visible arena for the broader cultural and political debate over the rights and inclusion of transgender people. As transgender athletes come out, pursue gender-affirming medical care like hormone therapies, and try to compete in the division that aligns with their gender identity, many sports’ governing bodies have developed policies restricting...

The Best Adventures in Minnesota Require a Paddle
  There are a lot of ways to experience the depth of a wild landscape: hiking, horseback riding, biking, off-roading. But none offer the same elegance and simplicity as paddling. Which is fortunate, because paddling also happens to be the best way to indulge in the vast solitude of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW). With more than 1,200 miles...
