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.

Light-Up Mountain Lamp, Gold SEAL Watch, Hunt-Inspired Sandals, and More Emerging Gear
  It wasnt intentional, but we ended up with a technology-heavy roster of new products this week. Perhaps thats no accident, given that even our outdoor lives look increasingly like an away mission from a Star Trek episode.   That means outdoor creatives will find plenty to interest them, however, including durable new packs for photographers, tough charging cables, and recycled cases...

Part Pack, Part Vest for Fast Alpine Travel: Millet Trilogy Sky 25+ Backpack Review
  We started from the trailhead just before sunrise — headlamps on, moving at a power-hike pace toward a spring ski objective deep in Colorado’s alpine. Within an hour, the skis and skins were deployed, but the pace couldn’t let up.   Now in the alpine, we transitioned back to boots. I slid my skis into the loops of Millet’s new Trilogy...
Feast for the Eyes: ‘Astonishing’ Images From 2025 Pacific Crest Trail Photo Contest
  Photo contests are about much more than recognizing talented shutterbugs. These celebrations of the medium can force us to slow down and take a moment to truly appreciate what were looking at.   The social media platforms we all use —the ones filled with more jaw-dropping images than a Life magazine retrospective —are still more known for doomscrolling than for quiet...
This Rod Won’t Teach You to Fish, But It’ll Do Everything Else: Fenwick Elite Bass Casting Rod Review
  I immediately knew it was a big’ ol bass when I felt a light bump and set the hook. My assumption was confirmed when the largemouth launched out of the water, trying to shake the jig I had just lodged in its mouth with my Fenwick Elite Bass casting rod loose. “Oh gosh, that’s gotta be a 4- or 5-pounder,”...
‘Alone’ Africa Episode 2: Isolation Delivers a Devastating Blow

Outdoorspeople Are Obsessed With the Summer Solstice. This is Why.
  Growing up in suburban North Atlanta, the only time I ever heard about the solstice was during the astronomy segment of science class. It wasn’t until I moved out West that I learned it’s basically the unofficial national holiday of the outdoors.   “What are you doing for the solstice?” a friend asked me the first year I lived in Colorado....
