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.

Portable Backpack Cooler for Family Sports: Titan by Arctic Zone Deep Freeze 30-Can Ice Wall Backpack Cooler Review
  This year, our family officially entered the sports circuit when my daughter made a youth traveling team. We live in a small, remote town in the Colorado Rockies.

An Ode to the Relationships We Owe to the Outdoors  
  The outdoors have a way of delivering to us our soulmates. Sometimes, that’s a romantic partner, discovered on a mountain-summit meet-cute. Other times, it’s the fiercely loyal friends we never knew we needed. Maybe you’ve noticed the same—that your best friends are your adventure friends. There’s a reason for that dynamic. The outdoors draws out the best and the worst...

Diagrams Align Your Practice: Liforme Rainbow Yoga Mat Is Like an On-Call Instructor
  Going with the flow is an essential part of any yoga class. But being able to move quickly through poses is less important than making sure to have proper alignment in each pose.
