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.

Handmade, 3-Season, Ultralight Sleeping Bag: Western Mountaineering Alpinlite Review
  My climbing partners and I trudged into camp around noon on Mt. Rainier, and I immediately tore off my boots. We’d been on the move since 9 p.m. the night before — a 15-hour push to the summit and back from a low camp. I dragged myself into my Western Mountaineering Alpinlite sleeping bag and plunged into what felt like a...

Lightweight, Packable Box of Shade: Helinox Royal Box Review
  Over decades of living and visiting North Americas sunniest and hottest places, I grew tired of flimsy packable shades and versions that were anything but portable. I had given up, no longer willing to toss sunshades in the trash after a summer or deal with heavy behemoths that took up too much space in my vehicle.   Helinox had seemingly dodged...
3 Million Feet Uphill: Meet the Man Skiing Toward a Vert World Record

Going the Distance: The KEEN Targhee IV Stays a Step Ahead
  The mountains are no place for an average boot. Sparse, yet full of life, alpine zones’ rugged terrain, copious moisture, and extreme temps are exceptionally tough on hiking boots. The same can be said for the high desert, where abrasive red rock and scorching temps conspire to tear up your everyday hiking footwear.    Both conditions are typical in the areas...
