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.

According to park officials, the teen had been hiking with his family when he stepped onto unstable ground. His foot plunged through the fragile crust into scalding thermal...

First Look: HOKA Mafate 5
  Running terrain of the rocky-rooty-rutty variety is fun and rewarding, but no easy task. Add stream crossings, scree fields, and occasional snow patches, and it’s no surprise wild trails demand focus and athleticism at any pace, even the most leisurely. If you up the stakes by racing, then every foot strike carries even more weight.   That heightened challenge is why...
This Big, Bizarre-Looking Duck Is Making Down Gear Warmer, Longer-Lasting, and More Affordable
  Despite every manner of challenger — from biodegradable synthetics, to alpaca fleece, Seawool made from crushed oyster shells, and even salvaged bison fiber — the undisputed king of warm, insulated gear remains goose down.   An analysis by the Global Trends Observatory forecast that the market value of down, which stood at $3.5 billion in 2023, will hit $5.2 billion by 2032. Its...

I’m a Better Person After I Jump Into an Alpine Lake
  There’s nothing quite like it. Not the spa cold plunge. Not the chlorinated pool. Not even the ocean I lived beside for nearly a decade. I’m talking about a true alpine lake dunk—the kind that leaves your skin tingling, your breath caught in your chest, and your mind somehow quieter.   I got my coldwater start at Fern Lake in Rocky...

Leatherman Recall: Multi-Tool Blade Defect Poses ‘Laceration Hazard’

The Consumer Product Safety Commission, which is assisting Leatherman in the recall, lists the number...
First Look: Insta360’s X5 Is the Best Camera for Travel and Outdoor Adventure
  When 360-degree video first debuted, it wasn’t much more than a neat party trick. But Insta360’s latest flagship camera, the X5, has leveled up the game so much that it now isn’t just the best 360 camera out there—it’s one of the best adventure travel cameras available, period.   That’s because the X5 is a serious storytelling tool, perfect for travelers...
This Pack Made Packrafting the Arctic Possible: Seek Outside Unaweep 6300 Review
  Six hundred fifty pounds sure sounds like a lot of weight. Until you’re trying desperately to squeeze three fellers, 8 days of supplies, packraft kits, and bear protection into the back of a Cessna 185 on floats. Then it’s just a cruel number.   The ancient scale on the porch of Brooks Range Aviation in Bettles, Alaska, weighed our fate: 630...
