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.

Sea Eagle SE370 Kayak Review: Reliable, Not Flashy — This Inflatable Gets the Job Done
  Picture this: Two wildland firefighters on their day off, racing back upstream to beat the setting sun, with an 5 a.m. start time for the next day, dragging an inflatable kayak up the last shallow section in the dark, while only semi-ironically belting out an original cadence musical rendition of David Goggin’s “Who’s Gonna Carry the Boats?”    I doubt this...

Gabby Shepard Wants Everyone to Care About the World Below the Surface
  The first time Gabby Shepard sank below the ocean’s surface and took a breath from a scuba tank, her world changed. “Everything melted away,” she says. “I was mesmerized. Just totally captivated.

Inhaling Carbon Dioxide Could Boost Athletic Performance—But At What Cost?
  Back in 1969, naval researchers took blood samples from the crew of a Polaris nuclear submarine over the course of an eight-week patrol. Three-quarters of the sailors were smokers, so carbon monoxide levels were chronically elevated in the sealed confines of the sub. After a few weeks in this toxic miasma, the crew’s levels of hemoglobin, the crucial protein in...

Bunkers in Yellowstone: Deepfake Vid Uses Real Journalists to Promote Fake Housing

Paddling Western NC With Olympian Evy Leibfarth
  Bryson City, North Carolina, is more than just a postcard-perfect mountain town — it’s where Olympic kayaker Evy Leibfarth grew up learning to paddle the rapids of the Nantahala River. “I think it really instilled that love of being outdoors in me from a really young age,” she says.    Her days here are simple and stacked: lunch at River’s End,...
