Western Mountaineering Apache MF Sleeping Bag: 15 Degree Down

All Western Mountaineering bags are super. This one is a narrow version of the Badger MF, which is at least 66 inches in the shoulders. If you're looking for a 15 degree bag (a conservative rating like the ratings for all their bags) that'll last the next 20 years look at this one or the Badger (depending on how narrow you like your bag).

I couldnt be happier with this bag. I shouldnt expect anything less than excellence from a company like Western Mountaineering. I picked this 15 degree bag up with the intent of it being my 2 to 3 season bag but it is so warm I really can only use it during the coldest part of our Texas winters. I will mainly use it for a Winter bag for around Central Texas. All in all I expected the best for what I was paying and got it. The stitching seems so strong and well done and with the Microfiber shell with any water or condensation that falls on it just beads right off so as to not damage the 800+ fill power down. Finally, you cant beat handmade in the USA. Go for WM!

First, I have to say WM bags are amazing. They are built well, and really have no equal on the market.
I'm a woman, 5'11" and slender built, and a cold sleeper. I loved this bag because this one actually fit me right. Other Men's bags are generally way to roomy in the shoulders, and women's bags aren't tall enough. Unfortunately I took it for a test run a few days ago and although the temp just hit 25F outside, I was still cold. I'm not quite sure what to do because WM doesn't make any other bags this sut at a lower temp rating. :(

Expensive but worth it.
Tall/slim guy and bag is quite roomy - no claustrophobia here!
Bag is red on top and black inside and on the bottom, looks great.
Zipper works well and can be opened at the bottom for foot ventilation

I used this for my PCT through-hike, it was the one piece of gear that didnt fail, completely lived up to its expectations... Would definitely buy this bag again if i were doing the same thing

I have had an Apache bag for about 2 years now and it is my go to. One feature that I would like to call out is the stiff lip that runs along the inside of the zipper which prevents snags. Snags are probably the #1 way to ruin your bag.

Another thing I would like to mention is that when you buy a new bag, be sure to look at 'fill weight' as opposed to temperature rating which is defined by the manufacturer. You will notice that WM's bags come with a higher fill at a particular temperature rating when compared to North Face or Sierra Designs (note that both make excellent bags as well and offer features that surpass WM in some areas). WM bags also tend to weigh a little less than their competitors even with the extra fill.

One last item worthy of being called out is that if you order directly from Western Mountaineering, you can get a left or right side zipper and add 2 ounces of overfill to your bag.
