Western Mountaineering Cypress GWS Expedition

The Western Mountaineering Cypress GWS Expedition is the heaviest bag in the lineup and carries the most down of any of them — 1415 g of 850+ fill power goose down for a total weight of 2210 g. Its manufacturer-rated limit of -34°C puts it alongside the Bison GWS Expedition among the warmest expedition bags on offer. Box-baffle construction with a differential cut keeps the down evenly distributed under sustained loft, while the Gore Infinium (GORE WINDSTOPPER) shell adds a waterproof, windproof membrane that matters most on exposed high-altitude bivouacs. An insulated draft collar, draft tube, and fitted, adjustable hood cover the neck and head, and the dual-slider zipper makes venting or a quick exit easier. Worth noting: the package doesn't include a compression stuff sack, only a storage sack for long-term keeping, so budget for a separate compression sack. This is clearly specialized gear for the harshest winter expeditions, not an all-purpose three-season bag. Made in the USA, sized for users up to 182 cm.
