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.

From Car to Crossover, and That’s a Good Thing: 2026 Nissan Leaf Review
  America’s first mass-market all-electric vehicle has largely faded from view in recent years. Its design and technology are clearly dated compared to the flood of competitors that have rolled into showrooms since the Nissan Leaf first debuted, during the 2011 model year.   The third-generation Nissan EV addresses many of the problems that would have otherwise marked Leaf for obscurity: limited...
Maneuverable SUP Styles Whitewater: NRS Clean 96 Review
  We pulled our standup paddleboards out of the river and onto the rocky beach to scout the crux. A section of class II rapids decorated the width of the Upper Slocan River in British Columbia. Smooth water wasnt in our line of sight. I might portage, one friend said, as two experienced paddlers from our group rode by and started...
World Class Academy Prepares Students for Life Beyond the Classroom
  What if high school included kayaking classic whitewater in Patagonia, climbing tufas in Greece, riding A-Line in Whistler, or kiting perfect wind in Brazil—while earning a diploma and applying to college? At World Class Academy (WCA), that’s just a typical semester. For 25 years, WCA has combined rigorous academics with elite-level adventure sports, creating a totally unique high school experience....
‘A Bittersweet Moment’: Nonprofit Locates Kayaker’s Remains in National Park Lake After Year-Long Search
  Wesley Dopkins was last seen in June 2024, paddling a kayak across Jackson Lake without a life jacket. Over a year later, a nonprofit search and recovery (SAR) organization known as Bruces Legacy finally located his body using advanced sonar technology.   The organization is one of many regional SAR groups across the country, helping to fill the gaps that law...

Snappy, Agile, and Highly Versatile: Salomon Pulsar Women’s Trail Running Shoe Review
  Trail runners have more choices than ever, but many shoes these days lean heavily toward oversized midsoles and premium price tags. Launched on September 1, 2025, the Salomon Pulsar women’s trail running shoe takes a different approach: lightweight, speedy, and versatile enough to handle everything from pavement connectors to rocky singletrack.   I tested the Pulsar over 25-30 miles on my...
Budget Layer for Resort Shredding: The North Face Freedom Ski Pants Review
  The $650 ski pants Ive been testing for most of the season are awesome.They defend me from the elements at the resort and on the skin track. Theyre lightweight, and they look cool.   So when I slipped into The North Faces Freedom ski pants for men and started bouncing through powder at the resort, I wasnt expecting much. Theyre about...
Find Foliage: Hipcamp Launches Interactive Leaf-Peeping Map to Plan Fall Camping Trips
  Fall is one of the best times of year for camping road trips. The weather is cool, campgrounds are less busy, and of course, autumn colors are popping off, painting the landscape in vivid hues of orange, red, and yellow.   But if youre traveling somewhere, choosing your route and where to stay can be a bit of a crapshoot. Unless...
Reversible Hoody Can Be More Breathable or Warmer: Mountain Hardwear AirMesh Review
  A thick layer of clouds descended as a friend and I scrambled to pitch the kitchen tarp deep in the backcountry. I quickly donned my fuzzy new midlayer — Mountain Hardwear’s AirMesh Hoody — before the hail started coming down. It gave me just enough warmth to fire up a round of backcountry bruschetta in the frigid late summer downpour....
Backcountry Powerhouse With Warmth, Moisture Management, Durability: Vans Viaje Range Snowboard Boots Review 
  When I need a snowboard boot that can keep up with freezing, long days in the backcountry, the updated Vans Viaje Range snowboard boot is my go-to. It also helps that I can pretty seamlessly ride my snowmobile without needing to swap boots.   I have the original version of this boot that launched in 2020, and I still love the...
