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 Blazing Sun to Alpine Gusts: Black Diamond Alpenglow Pro Hoody Review
  Theres gear that works, and then theres gear that makes you feel unstoppable. Back when I guided backpacking trips near Yosemite in the 90s, that gear was a pair of rugged outdoor sandals. I saved for months, and something shifted when I finally threw them on. I didnt just feel prepared, I felt like a badass.   That same feeling hit...
River to Town Water Shoes: Astral Brewer 3.0 Review
  The waves were getting bigger, my paddleboard was deflating, and the situation was getting more extreme with every passing river mile. Id embarked down the Roaring Fork with a motley group of friends on an old paddleboard I hadnt inflated in over a year. Much to my dismay, about 20 minutes into our 3-hour float, I started leaking air profusely,...

Wetland Camo Is Back: YETI Revives the Classic Pattern
  I’ll admit it. I’m irrationally excited about this. Maybe it’s just because I have a soft spot for gear that looks like it wandered out of a 70s-era sporting goods catalog.   YETI is bringing back Wetland Camo, and it feels like a bigger deal than the usual parade of new colorway drops.   The cult-favorite pattern will be available for a...
Walmart Recalls 850,000 Water Bottles After Ejecting Lids Cause ‘Permanent Vision Loss’
  Theres nothing wrong with buying cheap products from Walmart — everyone loves a good deal — but sometimes it can backfire. In the case of a new Ozark Trail recall, thats literally what happened to several people injured by water bottles.   Walmart announced a massive recall Thursday of its Ozark Trail water bottles. The one-piece, screwcap lid can evidently pop...

No Crinkle, Extra Cushion: Sea to Summit Pursuit Self-Inflating Sleeping Pad Review
  Ive been on a journey searching for the right backpacking sleeping pad. Ive slept on minimalist mats that are barely more than a thin layer of insulation against the cold ground. Others have been plush and comfortable, but they required a lot of personal lung power to fill up.   Some were leaky and reliably deflated on me. A few were...
Best Climber in the World? It’s a Woman, Says Austrian Prize
  If the average American is able to name a professional rock climber, its more than likely Alex Honnold or Tommy Caldwell. Considering that both climbers have starred in award-winning documentaries chronicling their rocky feats, thats not too surprising.   But what climber deserves to be added to the list of the sports most skilled and accomplished vertical explorers? According to a...

Rubber Hunting Boots That Won’t Make You Dread Walking: LaCrosse Alphaburly Review
  Rubber hunting boots suck for walking. Fortunately, some like the LaCrosse Alphaburly pro suck less.   I hunt actively, to the point that its probably detrimental to my success. Rubber boots arent exactly the best for that style of hunting. Yet sometimes a good set like the LaCrosse Alphaburly Pro is a necessity.   A prime example is my last deer season...
