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.

Hut-to-Hut on Horseback: Guide to Bearcat Stables’ Vail to Aspen Ride
  The view from Margys Hut looks south into the Elk Mountains near Aspen, Colo. I sipped a beer from the porch, watching the alpenglow shine pink on the alpine slopes of Ashcroft Mountain, Mount Shirmer, Green Mountain, and some others I couldnt name. Inside, I could hear happy hour sounds: people laughing, conversations, and exclamations over the appetizers. I soaked...

Watch: CO Eagle Couple’s Nest Struck by Lightning, Birds Survive Explosion
  Disclaimer: No eagles were harmed in the making of this film — only shell-shocked. Just north of Boulder, Colo., the Stearns Eagle Nest sits in an old cottonwood tree. Its known by locals for the parent couple it belongs to. Or, at least, there used to be a nest there.   On August 6, it sustained a direct hit from a bolt...
Duluth’s Industry of Outdoors: The Promise and Problems of Transforming a Boom Town
  We slept in an RV parked in my friend’s yard. He keeps it there, stowed permanently, for people needing to crash when coming through town. It was Labor Day weekend, sunny and 70 degrees, a perfect day in a port city known for fickle weather on the edge of the world’s largest lake.   I was up to visit for a...
American Muscle, Timeless Charm: Shinola ‘Lake Michigan Monster’ Review
  I hit my fourth dive nearly perfectly, sluicing into the water at an angle so ideal that the speed nearly popped my contact out. As I emerged from the sun-warmed (but still chilly) waters of Lake Michigan, much farther from the boat than I had imagined, the nautically tattooed captain let out a holler: “You had some speed there!”   I’m...
Familiar Design With Handmade, Modular Twist: QuikrStuff Mach 2 Bike Rack Review
  My old bike rack was starting to get pretty beat up before someone backed their truck into it and drove off. I still used it for another year after that (probably at great liability), and it worked. But it wasnt ideal. It was bent askew. It wobbled no matter how much I tightened it in the hitch; it creaked and...

The partial remains of Andrew Sandy Irvine were discovered by a National Geographic expedition, the organization announced Friday. Irvine, 22, and famous climber George Mallory, 38, disappeared on Everest on June 8, 1924, during one of the first major attempts to summit the...
Tech-Heavy Ski Boot for Mortals: Fischer RC4 PRO MV BOA Review
  Few skiers besides actual racers want to spend their ski day in a true race boot. But the most aggressive expert skiers can push through the stiffest recreational ski boots. So Fischer serves up its RC4 PRO line, which comes close to the power of a plug boot in a more approachable package.   New for 2024-25, the Fischer RC4 PRO...
Trash Into Treasure: Mammut Albula IN Hooded Jacket Review
  I have pretty high standards when it comes to down jackets, which is why I was ultimately blown away by this synthetic coat from Mammut. Made almost entirely of recycled materials, the Albula is among the most sustainable down jackets I have tested in my day.    For the past 7 years, I’ve lived on the western slope of Colorado, enduring...
