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.

Glass That Earns Its Price Tag: ZEISS Conquest V4 4-16×44 Review
  In the waning light on a chilly Wyoming evening, I lowered my head to the ZEISS Conquest V4 4-16X44 Riflescope, took aim at a distant target, and fired. GONG! Thats a hit. I adjusted my elevation turret more and took aim at a 600-yard target. GONG! Another hit.   I smiled and got up from my seat. After only a few...
Make Seamless Skin Track Transitions: Black Diamond Dawn Patrol 25 Pack Review
  Skinning up Cameron Pass, the cool crisp air blew through the trees, and snow floated above me. The new Black Diamond Dawn Patrol Pack fit seamlessly on my back as I cut a skin track up the mountain. The pack carried all my gear, clothes, and food — it was almost an extension of myself, moving freely with me as...
Buy It for Life: Is a $760 Carry-On Worth It?
  Until a few months ago, Id never heard of Saddleback Leather Company. But today, Im looking at a $760 leather duffel bag that appears to be from another century. The Deep Pocket Leather Duffle shines with heavy hardware and sturdy stitching that could have been inspired by the 1800s.   And frankly, barring some sort of over-the-top disaster, I expect itll...
Colorado to Pause Gray Wolf Reintroduction Through 2026
  Since its inception in 2020, Colorado Parks and Wildlifes (CPW) gray wolf reintroduction program has been a hotbed of controversy. The plan to source wolves from Oregon and Canada and release them in Colorado has sparked criticism from livestock owners, as well as a split with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).   Now, the program has hit a major...
2026 Ineos Grenadier Review: Small Changes Make a Big Difference
  Plenty of Americans still might not even recognize an Ineos when they see one on the road. But the off-road and overlanding crowd should know this upstart automaker well by now.   Surprisingly, Ineos can report with pride that after two model years on sale, over 12,000 vehicles now roam the United States. That’s out of 30,000 sold globally after originally...
A Rocket Ship Spinning Rod for Trout and Panfish: Shimano Compre Lite Rod Review
  While sitting on the boat ramp at the end of an eventful day on the water, my snobby fly-fishing buddy turned to me and said, Let me see that thing. The thing he was referring to was the Shimano Compre Lite Spinning Rod in my hand. I handed it over and watched with a smirk as he guiltily flipped the...
Camp Futon, Alpaca Quarter-Zip, Winter Olympics Accessories, and More Emerging Gear
  Its a little too easy (at least for me) to dismiss alarming weather events. But theres no denying that much of the country is about to get hit by a serious winter storm — and nothing reminds you of the importance of solid gear like a bone-chilling freeze.   With several months of winter still ahead for many of us, its...
World’s First 360-Degree Drone Sends You Soaring: Antigravity A1 Review
  Though my girlfriend sat right in front of me on a wide patch of rock in Stone Mountain Park, her vision of the world soared high above. Id rigged up this fancy new drone on a sunny December day in Georgia, and without any tutorial, handed her the controls and goggles.   As the drone flew hundreds of feet above us,...
2026 X Games: How to Watch & When to Catch Free Music, Events
  This weekend, athletes and fans will descend upon Aspen, Colo., to watch one of winter sports most anticipated competitions of the year. From January 23 to 25, the X Games returns to Buttermilk Mountain for its 25th year. Skiers, snowboarders, and — for the first time since 2021 — snowmobilers will compete head-to-head for spots on the podium.   This year, all...
The Next Great Knife Steel: What Is MagnaMax?
  In the last year, the knife industry faced some challenges that could have had some long-lasting impacts. From the closing of a primary U.S. steel supplier to threats of tariffs that disrupted supply chains and pricing, 2025 was, in certain regards, a hot mess.   During that time of unrest, rumors of a new super-premium knife steel started to float around...
A Line We Shouldn’t Cross: Why Alex Honnold’s Live Skyscraper Climb Is a Step Too Far
  I like Alex Honnold. A lot. Not in the casual, “I watched the movie” way. I like Honnold, the person. I particularly respect something that’s rare in a modern celebrity: He’s exactly the same person on-camera that he is away from it.   The bluntness. The oddball pragmatism. The almost clinical way he talks about risk, fear, and effort. Most public...
Eternal Ice HD Pro Ice Bath + Chiller Review: A Durable Tub for the Great Outdoors
  Cold plunge and chiller combos often cost $3,000 or more, which is why durability should be a factor when considering one. Often, a chiller will go out, or the tub itself can crack or degrade over time, especially when exposed to the elements. A cracked tub can throw that $3,000 investment right out the window. Which is why, when I...
