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.

Under Armour Outpaces Nike at Boston Marathon: The Shoes That Helped Sharon Lokedi Set Course Record
  The Boston Marathon isn’t a record-chasing course. It’s tactical, uneven, and often at the mercy of New England spring weather. Here, the win matters more than the clock. So, while no one expected Kelvin Kiptum’s 2:00:35 world record or Ruth Chepngetich’s 2:09:56 mark to fall, few would’ve guessed that a lesser-known brand in pro road racing — Under Armour —...
A Great Light Hiking Boot Gets Better: Salomon X Ultra Mid 5 Review
  Water flowed over the sand and splashed across the toes of the Salmon X Ultra 5 Mid hiking boots. My legs pumped over the soft, wet sand in the morning light.   Thousand-foot-high dunes shimmered below the vastly higher mountains of the Sangre de Cristo range. Snowmelt ran across the sand, a short-lived river that behaves much like a landlocked beach....
Epic Occupations: Tower Climbing Grease Monkeys
  More than 10% of the U.S. power supply is generated by wind. This natural resource may seem like an easy source of renewable energy. But harnessing the power of wind is another story. That’s where wind turbines come in.   Over 75,000 of these behemoths have been erected across the U.S. You’ve likely seen onshore windfarms driving down the highway. What...
Epic Occupations: Café Racers for Clean Water
  For David Chang, motorcycles are more than a way to get from point A to point B. They’re freedom on two wheels. Chang started Café Racers of Instagram (CROIG) as a creative outlet when his corporate job wasnt filling his cup.   What started as a passion for custom motorcycles grew into a massive community of like-minded motorcycle lovers, and soon Chang...
Bantamweight Boots for Nimble Hikes: The North Face Offtrail LT Mid Review
  I felt light on my feet as I ascended the Rainbow Trail toward Methodist Mountain. On my left, spectacular views of Mount Ouray and Pahlone Peak caught my eye whenever I stopped. But as I hiked, I only focused on what was beneath my feet: rocks, branches, loose granite gravel, and lodgepole roots. I found myself jogging the flats and...
Epic Occupations: In the Field With an Environmental Specialist
  Most days, you’ll find Constanza Maas on the job site. As an environmental specialist, she spends much of her time drilling into the earth, testing air and water quality, and sampling soil to monitor contamination on Canadian construction sites. But Maass impact runs deeper than environmental compliance — she’s also reshaping what leadership looks like in the trades.    After facing...
Go Light, Tread Hard: Crispi Lapponia III Hunting Boots Review
  It never fails to snow a solid 8 inches the night before my first day of turkey hunting in Colorado. As usual, 2025 delivered a heavy blanket of snow to my turkey camp, not the conditions Id expected for testing the uninsulated, lightweight Crispi Lapponia III hunting boot.   But there I was, awake in the dark at the tail end...
Barnes Harvest Collection: Affordable Ammo That Hits Where It Counts

Barnes and Sierra teamed up to create a new line of ammo aimed squarely at whitetail hunters called the Harvest Collection. While the branding sounds like something you might find in the pumpkin...

The Trail Running Shoe That Keeps Getting Better: Brooks Cascadia 18 Review
  As someone who spends a lot of time on rugged, unpredictable trails, Ive come to trust a select few shoes to handle the demands of varying terrain. The Brooks Cascadia has been one of those shoes for years. After testing the Cascadia 18 on everything from rocky mountain trails to rolling desert trails, I can confidently say it continues to...
Epic Occupations: High Speeds, High Stakes on the Jobsite
  If you passed Andrew Comrie-Picard on the road in his home city of Los Angeles, you’d never guess his odometer frequently tips above 100 mph. “I drive really slow on normal roads,” says the rally racer turned stunt driver, “and I’m always the person to let someone else merge in. I dont have to drive fast because I get my...
