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.

Its innovating with its designs, striving for equal parts function and fashion. The brands latest release, the BN5000 goggle, is a prime example.   On October 7, Pit...

This Trail Trainer Changed How I Run: Craft Xplor Pro Review
  A light rain began just strides into my first test run in these road-to-trail shoes. I hadnt yet made it to the trails, and the sidewalks were already slick. I approached the corner of a city block, ready to make my usual shuffle step before a 90-degree turn at the end of the sidewalk. Yet, rather than feeling a little...
Smith Vantage 2 MIPS Ski Helmet Review: Top Lid Gets Subtle Upgrades
  The cold wind gusts directly onto my face as I ride the Lenawee Mountain chairlift at Arapaho Basin. Feeling the bitter cold whip into the plentiful vents of the Smith Vantage 2 MIPS ski helmet reviewed here, I reach to the top of the lid and slide forward two small tabs. Instantly, the vents close, blocking the wind and warming...
Yours for the Next Decade: Flylow Chemical Men’s Ski Pants Review
  My home mountain range outside of Vail, Colo., is notorious for challenging tree skiing due to pokey or fallen beetle-kill pines. I’m used to my ski outerwear torn and tattered by scraggly branches. But wearing the updated Flylow Chemical mens ski pants felt like leg armor. The burly main fabric and reinforced knees fended off sharp sticks and rocks. That...
Early-Season Hunts Never Felt and Looked So Good: Forloh Insect Shield SolAir Shirt and Pants Review
  A thick, dark buzzing cloud hovered overhead as I sat down on the edge of the marsh for an early-season teal hunt. As I heard the hungry mosquitoes, I instantly regretted forgetting the bug spray. After missing shots because I was trying to keep the mosquitoes at bay, I vowed to find a better option.   I headed to my dove...
Proven Voice Calling for Far-Flung Expeditions: Iridium 9555 Satellite Phone Review
  Blasted with gusts of cold air and early April snow, we stared in awe as the glacier ski plane taxied down the Ruth Gorge and took off. Suddenly, we were alone. Thankfully, we found comfort knowing that within the 5 weeks of supplies we had with us, we brought an Iridium 9555 Satellite Phone to keep in touch with family...

Thats where volunteer conservation groups like the Eastern Sierra Conservation Corp (ESCC) step up to fill the gaps.   Since 2016, this small but...
Outdoor Adventure and the Art of Self Reliance, with Nick Offerman
  Ruggedness, dependability, and handiness define a lot of outdoor archetypes, from the ski patroller to the river guide to the park ranger. So why would you find all three in a famous actor? Maybe because the actor in question—Nick Offerman—is an avid outdoorsman in his own right. Surely you know Nick from one of his many memorable roles,  like Ron...
