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.

Umpqua Northfork Chest Pack Review: Tough, Simple Fishing Rig Under $100
  Most fishing pack manufacturers have been following the same pattern with new products: increased technology and increased prices. In the past, Umpqua Feather Merchants was one of the leaders in this trend. Its prior line of packs, the Zs2, was one of the most feature-rich, advanced packs on the market. The new Northfork Chest Pack bucks the trend and offers...
Meet the Endurance Athletes Going the Extra Mile to Fight Cancer
  When Scott Bauwens’s sister-in-law was first diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia a few years ago, he set a simple goal. He’d fundraise for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS), but only for a single campaign. Then, duty done, he’d go back to business as usual. But during that first campaign, something happened that changed his life. He started to meet...
Scientists Braved 130-Mile-Per-Hour Winds on Mount Washington
  I have a secret fascination with the Mount Washington Observatory (MWOB), the weather station situated atop Americas windiest mountain.   Every few days, the scientists living inside the MWOB publish an observation blog or an Instagram post about the extreme conditions on the 6,288-foot peak, and the photos or videos always boggle my mind. Plunging temperatures mixed with fog will occasionally...
‘Icefall Doctors’ Embark on Mount Everest’s Most Dangerous Job
  A team of eight Sherpa climbers and a small camp staff left Namche Bazaar yesterday for Mount Everest Base Camp. The Sherpas task is to find a route through the maze of seracs (hanging ice blocks) and crevasses from the broken Khumbu Glacier. They have been doing this every spring since 1993. This team is called the Icefall Doctors.   Every...
Chasing the Mint 400: 2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV LT Review
  In 2024, 1.3 million EVs were sold in the USA; globally, that number jumped to 17.1 million. It’s safe to say that EVs are no longer a novelty. I’d long said that when pickup trucks — often the bestselling vehicle type in the country — started being sold as fully electric, we’d know they had caught on.   Ford, GMC, Rivian, Tesla, and...
How to Sleep Better Outdoors
  Here’s how bedtime in camp goes in your mind: After a long day exploring some beautiful, wild place, you settle in around the campfire, favorite beverage in hand. Your eyes get droopy as you watch the sun set and stars begin to blink on. Finally, you snuggle into your cozy sleeping bag, yawning once before dropping off to sleep immediately...
The Beginner’s Guide to Making Sausage at Home
  Last September, I attended From Field to Table, a wild game butchering course hosted by Outdoor Solutions, an all-in-one training and outfitter referral service for people who want to get started hunting. After conservation, the purpose of hunting is to put the healthiest, most sustainable, and ethically harvested meat on your dinner table. So when I got the chance to elevate...
No-Carbon, Lower-Stack Super Shoe: Norda 005 First Look Review
  Every time I’ve met with Norda founder Nick Martire, it’s as if I’m Mark Cuban and we’re on the set of Shark Tank. The pitch is always passionate and intense. He is an entrepreneur straight out of central casting; each interaction is superlative-laden and memorable.   Norda is a darling of the trail running scene, but there isn’t a line of...
Kicking Horse Gondola Car Breaks Off in Third Lift Incident at Resorts This Season
  A gondola car carrying eight people detached from its cable at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in Golden, British Columbia, on March 10. According to witnesses, the Golden Eagle Express car fell about 10 feet after departing from the lower terminal at 9:20 a.m. No one was seriously injured, but passengers were trapped for several minutes, and the patrol manually evacuated every...
Foot Furnace: Meindl Nordkap PRO GTX Winter Boot Review
  It had just turned from dusk to dark on Minnesotas frozen Lake Mill Lacs, and the temperature was plummeting. Somewhere around -10 degrees Fahrenheit, a 30mph wind made it feel much colder. My friends and I hustled to break down our ice fishing shelter after a long day on the ice, and time was of the essence as fingers and...
Smugglers Sentenced After 113 Exotic Birds Drown in Botched Heist
  Four men have been sentenced for attempting to smuggle more than 100 tropical birds from Puerto Rico. Their failed plan resulted in all the birds drowning.   Federal authorities reported that the smugglers, all Dominican nationals, were caught last May. They were transporting the birds in a flagless vessel about 30 nautical miles north of Puerto Rico. When the U.S. Coast...
