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.

Your Guide to Spain’s Quintessential Thru-Hike: El Camino de Santiago
  When I first heard of the Camino de Santiago, I was in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina hiking the Appalachian Trail (AT). I overheard someone exclaim, “You’re telling me there’s a hike in Spain where I can sleep in a bed, take a hot shower, eat and drink as much as I want, and I’m here instead?”   Soon, I...
Where Touring Ease Meets Real Power: Atomic Backland XTD Carbon Ski Boot Review
  Relieved. That’s the only word for how I felt the first morning I stepped into Atomic Backland XTD Carbon touring boots ($1,140). After testing many boots that pinched, folded, or left hot spots by the second lap, I slid into these and immediately relaxed.   The fit felt dialed without adding a footbed or a single shell punch. That never happens...
Peak Organization for Backcountry Tools, Gear, and Supplies: Mountainsmith Mayhem EVO 30L Review
  The places I like to hike are generally poorly blazed and aren’t easy to find on a map. That way, I get to wander around, foraging and grooming overgrown trails, with the reward of hanging my hammock without being bothered. Because of this, I need to be able to carry axes, saws, ropes, wedges, and the kind of tools most...
Massive Battery Upgrade Meets Modern Connectivity: Midland ER310PRO Emergency Weather Radio Review
  Growing up in Hurricane Alley in North Carolina, I’ve heard the emergency alert warning tone crackle to life on a weather radio more times than I could count.   Midland has always been my weather radio of choice, but I always gravitated toward the simpler models. When my editor dangled the prospect of reviewing the new Midland ER310PRO Emergency Weather Radio...
2027 Ram TRX Regains Apex Predator Status: Less Money, More Power Than Raptor R

It has evolved, with a new supercharged Hemi V8 that makes it the most powerful production pickup ever. The 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX has one heck of a name, but its also going to have one...
Own a Piece of Ski History — Or the Whole Thing: ‘Vintage Ski World’ Up for Sale
  Tucked away on the edge of town in Carbondale, Colo., is a goldmine of ski history, memorabilia, and sick vintage gear. The warehouse is challenging to find, even when you know where it is. But follow the signs toward Vintage Ski World to an innocuous warehouse door, and beyond it youll find Richard Allen, 73, and his unbelievable collection of...

DHS plans to...
The Anatomy of a Hunter’s Truck Camp
  Presented by Ram Trucks      Packing a truck for a hunting trip is part logistics, part intuition. Every loadout is shaped by variables — weather, terrain, trip length, and who’s riding with you — but the goal is always the same: arrive with a camp that’s safe, efficient, and comfortable enough to recover for the next day’s hunt.   After nearly...
Gold-Infused, Ultrasonic Duck Plumes: Zenbivy Ultralight Sleep System Promises Warmth & Water Resistance
  While some brands are just starting to use Muscovy down in insulated products, Zenbivy has been doing it for years. But the brand claims its latest rollouts take the power of Muscovy fill even further. Going into 2026, Zenbivy will offer two new ultralight Muscovy technologies, which it says represent the future of Muscovy Down.   Muscovy down, for those unfamiliar,...

Look Good and Be Prepared for Anything: Wiley X Apex Sunglasses Review
  Form over fashion is my stance on sunglasses. As an angler, hunter, and outdoorsman, I want something that performs in the field above all else. Appearance and general coolness are the last things I take into account when selecting my next set of shades.   Almost all of my sunglasses have a full wrap, which certainly isnt cool. Some are passable...
