Badger GWS
$765.00 - $815.00
Description

  Extra-wide mummy with windproof, highly water-resistant shell; 15° F.

  Don't let a little claustrophobia keep you from getting into a mummy bag; everything about the Western Mountaineering Badger GWS is built for comfort. The 15-degree Badger is a mammoth 66 inches wide at the shoulder and 41 at the foot, and this girth is kept in line with a warm down-filled collar that provides a barrier against convective heat loss and a full-length insulated draft tube along the zipper. The hood is cut large and fills around your face without having to be cinched tight. On top of all that, the Badger GWS has a highly water-resistant/breathable Gore Windstopper™ shell for extreme weather protection. This shell is the most water-resistant, windproof, and breathable fabric suitable for sleeping bags.

  Like all of Western Mountaineering's bags, the Badger 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.

What Do Dads Want for Father’s Day? We Asked Our Gearheads with Kids.
  Dads are notoriously hard to buy gifts for. They’re usually not great about communicating what they want, and anything they want they just buy for themselves when the urge strikes. To help those scratching their heads about what to get dad for Father’s Day, we badgered the dads on the Outside staff to tell us what’s on their wish list,...
Our Favorite New Off-Road Gear from Overland Expo West 2024
  Outside has been covering Overland Expo West for the past nine years. We’ve watched as the show went from a small gathering of hardcore overland veterans to a place where thousands of people, including many who are new to this type of travel (loosely defined as backpacking out of an off-road vehicle), come to check out the latest rigs and...
‘Opt Outside’ Hits Summer: REI Unveils Massive Day of Free Workshops and Adventures
  It has been almost 10 years since the REI Co-op first announced that it would close all of its stores on Thanksgiving and Black Friday for its Opt Outside campaign. The brand said it wanted to encourage customers and employees to spend more time in nature doing what they love.   In the years since, millions of people have participated, many...
YETI Flask, Shot Glasses Are a Toast to the Brand’s Core
  When YETI reached out a week ago to pitch its newest product, I took a moment to consider that it didnt already exist. YETI didnt already have a flask? Really?   Well, now it does, and its everything that makes YETI an icon.   Heavy-duty? Yep. Functional? Absolutely. And yes, its a little more expensive than similar-quality products. But as its not...
Why You (Yes, You) Were Born to Run
  The theory that human endurance evolved out of our need to outrun our prey has intrigued runners for four decades. After all, the idea of “persistence hunting” presents a much more romantic explanation for our otherwise pathological obsession with slogging through the Trial of Miles. According to the original endurance hunting theory laid out in a 1984 paper by David...
Wicked Edge Generation 4 Pro Sharpener Review: Stupid Sharp, Simple, and Steeply Priced
  A universal oddity of any hobby: justifying the gear prices to those on the outside. Mountain bikers get to explain why their dream downhill bike costs more than a motorcycle. Ultralighters get to explain to casual hikers why a pack that taps out at 15 pounds costs several hundred dollars. For knife aficionados, there’s justifying a sharpener that starts at...
Microplastics are Everywhere—Even in Your Testicles
  A recent study about microplastics may make you squirm in your seat. Scientists tested 70 testicles (23 from humans and 47 from dogs) and found the tiny bits of plastic in every single sample. The study, published on May 15, 2024 in Toxicological Sciences, raises concerns about the potential impact of microplastics on the human reproductive system and suggests that the presence...
How the Perils of ‘Alone: Frozen’ Prepared Woniya Thibeault for Motherhood
  Woniya Thibeault, the first female winner of the History Channel’s reality competition show Alone, always wanted to be a mother. But after she turned 46, having already experienced a miscarriage in her late thirties, she accepted the possibility that she may never have children. In June of last year, Thibeault spoke about this difficult realization during a storytelling event hosted by storytelling...
2nd-Gen Rivian Launch: ‘More Power, Performance, and Range’ (Same Look)
  Today, Rivian unveiled the second generation of its flagship R1T and R1S battery electric vehicles. The American automaker said it made hundreds of hardware improvements and changed more than half of gen-ones hardware components to build gen-two.   The updates to Rivians iconic truck and SUV platform are primarily functional — including a decreased carbon footprint over the vehicles expected lifetime, greater...
Climbers Weigh In on Nims Purja Following Sexual Abuse Allegations
  Leading figures in the worlds of international mountaineering and Nepali politics are weighing in on celebrity climber Nirmal “Nims” Purja in the wake of bombshell allegations of sexual assault and harassment.   On May 31, the New York Times published the accounts of two women who allege that Purja, 40, sexually harassed and assaulted them on separate occasions. In one account, Finnish...
I Abandoned My Favorite Headphones for These Hi-Fi Workout Buds: Jabra Elite 8 Active Review
  While some folks are content listening to whatever the gym is playing during their workouts, I just cant do it — unless somebody is playing Wu-Tang. Ive got to be able to change it up to suit the moment — heavy lifting calls for heavy metal. On cardio days, I like to match the BPM of the music to my...
Our Favorite Small-Wave, Alternative, and High-Performance Surfboards
  If a surfboard is a paintbrush and a wave is a canvas, then surfers today have thousands of different tools to make art. Are you a traditionalist, like the Old Masters? Take out a classic longboard. Are you more keen on surrealist style, channeling your inner Salvador Dali? Go for an asymmetrical shape. What about contemporary, akin to Yayoi Kusama?...
