Western Mountaineering Lynx GWS

The Western Mountaineering Lynx GWS carries a manufacturer-rated limit of -23°C and belongs to the brand's five-season expedition class; it comes in 165, 180 and 200 cm lengths, and this listing covers the short cut for users up to 167 cm. That shorter cut is the main reason it weighs just 1504 g with 851 g of 850+ fill power goose down — noticeably less than the longer and considerably warmer Bison (-40°C) or Cypress (-34°C). V-baffle construction, the same style used on the Bison, keeps the down from shifting under compression and holds an even insulation layer. The Gore Infinium (Gore Windstopper) shell adds a windproof, water-resistant membrane, while an insulated draft collar, draft tube, and full-length zipper cover the usual mummy-bag weak points. Packed to 46 × 23 cm, it's a standard size for an expedition bag. The combination of a short cut and a high warmth rating makes it an interesting option for shorter users who need a genuinely warm bag without carrying unnecessary extra weight. Made in the USA.
