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.

Climbing on Drugs? Everest Clients Pay $154K for High-Altitude Therapy
  The original version of this article was published on ExplorersWeb.   A group of commercial Everest climbers plan to complete their climb in a week by chemically boosting their acclimatization and performance using a new method: They will sip xenon gas just before the climb and then push straight for the summit.   While traditional alpinists bemoan the further touristification of Everest,...
The Year’s Best Planet Parade Will Be Visible Starting January 18
  It’s a great year for planet-watching. In addition to this week’s stellar views of Mars, stargazers can admire multiple “planet parades”—the simultaneous appearance of several planets in the night sky—in 2025. Arguably the best parade of the year commences on January 18, with Venus and Saturn appearing within 2.2 degrees, or roughly two pinky-widths, of each other. The parade will...
What the TikTok Ban Means for Outdoor Communities and Creators
  In 2023, Tatiana O’Hara, a content creator in Atlanta, Georgia, began to document her running journey on TikTok. She posted videos as a newbie runner, and soon attracted a dedicated following of other beginner runners. By the end of 2024, she had launched her own local run club. When people are looking for a run club for slower runners, they find...
Denali Calling: Testing the Iridium GO! Satellite Hotspot on North America’s Tallest Mountain
  We huddled in the cook tent at 14,000 feet on the West Buttress of Denali as temperatures plummeted to near 0 degrees F. Do we stay and rest at 14K camp? Or push to high camp at 17K and try for the summit? As mountain guides, it was our responsibility to make the call, and thankfully, we had an Iridium...

Whether you’re ice climbing in winter or chasing waterfalls in spring, this place is an outdoor paradise. Make the most of a visit...
This Idaho Forester Relies on His Skis to Work Through the Winter
  The Idaho Panhandle is tucked away so snugly between Washington, Montana, and British Columbia that people often forget it’s there. The landscape is characterized by dense fir, hemlock, pine, cedar, larch, and spruce forests. Deep greens and wooly, gray skies tightly hug the Purcell Trench, rimmed by the Selkirk Mountains to the Northwest and the Cabinet Mountains to the Northeast....
Help Catch National Park Vandal: NPS Seeks Info on Driver Who Thrashed ‘Eureka Dunes’
  Sometime in late December or early January, someone illegally drove a motor vehicle through Death Valleys Eureka Dunes National Natural Landmark, officials with the National Park Service (NPS) confirmed. Along the way, the driver caused extensive damage to rare and threatened plants protected under the Endangered Species Act. Now, the NPS is seeking information that could help identify the driver....
Muddy Paw Protection: Carhartt Canvas Bucket Seat Covers Review
  If youve worked in just about any kind of rough construction industry, you know Carhartt makes legendarily durable products. Now, its bringing that durability to your car with its canvas seat covers.   While the product line is different, the sensibility remains the same. The Carhartt Canvas Fitted Bucket Seat Cover exceeded my expectations after I tested it for a full...
Softshell Where You Want It, Hardshell Where You Need It: Raide Research TourTech Ski Bibs Review
  Fresh, pillowy snow was piling up on Vail Pass. Determined to get my fill of it, I charged up for my second lap, beads of sweat rolling down my face, neck, and back, wicking through my base layers and — to my relief — the Raide TourTech Ski Bibs as well. I stretched the softshell material, taking the longest strides...

  Storyteller Overland is breaking into the Mercedes Sprinter 170 market with its latest creation, the CREW MODE. It already offers a full line of Sprinter 144 production camper van models, but this new bigger van offering should expand the brands appeal among a wider swath of buyers.   Based on the AWD 170 3500 dually Sprinter chassis, the Storyteller CREW MODE...

  When we put together a pool of reviewers, we want people who adventure big but also live normal lives—because that’s our true audience (very few readers are running 100-mile races or summiting Everest). Enter lead watch tester Meg Healy. There’s no one better suited to deliver real-world reviews of a watch that can track all of your workouts while integrating...
Comfort and Safety Collide at $900: Bell Moto-10 Spherical Helmet Review
  My 95-year-old grandpa is often the toughest, smartest guy in the room. He raced motorcycles across the Mojave Desert and flat-bottomed boats across the Missouri River, survived Rocky Mountain snowstorms on horseback, and even built a house at age 60. The man valued reliable gear and taught me the adage, You get what you pay for.   But even with that...
