"The Western Mountaineering Apache is built with attitude! It simply won't take no for an answer as it willingly pushes the bounds of a 2-3 season bag. These bags have a full 3-Dimensionally sewn down-filled collar to seal in heat when your trip turns a little bitter! The efficient cut lets you heat the bag quickly and gives you a lighter parcel to carry about. 19 oz. of high lofting down pumps up a durable 6" of loft. The MicroLite XP™ shell is very weather resistant while remaining extremely breathable. At a total weight of 2 lbs. 1 oz. you'll be amazed just how much cold these bags will tame.

Apache Super MF
Reviewed by Aviprk, Oct 15, 2005

This is truly an excellent bag. Far warmer than its temperature rating. Indeed as mentioned by "Roger," the loft is 7 inches at this bag. It seems loft is higher in every WM bags considering my Antelope SMF also has 8. 5in loft, though WM claims it to have 7in!

Craftsmanship and quality are second to none and the overrall brand can put any Marmot, Mountain Hardwear, or The North Face bag to shame! Remember that "Loft = Warmth" so that means WM bags are comfortably warmer than other bags of similar temp range.

"Western Mountaineering LIED! They claim 6 inches of loft, it's more like 7…

This is the most amazing bag as far as weight, warmth, and overall quality."

"I used this bag for my hike of the Appalachian Trail back in 1998. Did the job perfectly. On the first two nights of my trip, the temp dropped to at least 10°, possibly even lower during the night. I use a silk liner (comphy!!), and between those two things, I was never ever cold in this bag on that trip."

"Well, same as my old camp trails pack, the no-name synthetic bag I'd had since high school just wasn't cutting it anymore, so I saved up (by crashing on my friends floor for the summer) and bought this bag. I feel it is the perfect 3 season bag.

WM's trademark is the loft of their bags - and for good reason."

"This is the best three season bag I've ever owned. Compresses to the size of a volleyball and has a COMFORTABLE temp range of 50? to 10F. Granted, I'm a warm sleeper but, no other bag (synth or down) has come close to this. The loft is incredible. The perfect bag for alpine excursions spring-summer-early fall."

"Last spring I needed a new bag after my Sierra Designs NorthernLite died (The LiteLoft fill was defective SD said). Even though they replaced the bag with a brand new one, I had always wanted a down bag. What sold me on the WM bag was the quality of the workmanship and the 700+ down."
