Western Mountaineering Lynx GWS

This bag is built for serious winter camping and mountaineering. With a -10°F temperature rating and Gore WindStopper fabric, it is specifically engineered to handle freezing, windy environments where heat retention is critical.

The WindStopper shell acts as a barrier against biting gusts that can strip warmth away from your bag. It adds a layer of wind protection that standard nylon shells lack, making it significantly more effective in exposed, high-altitude, or open-terrain campsites.

The Lynx GWS accommodates users up to 78 inches, or 6'6". If you are 6'4", you will have a few inches of clearance, but consider your sleeping pad thickness and whether you tend to stretch out fully when choosing your size.

Yes, the full-length zipper is protected by a reinforced draft tube with stiffening tape. This creates a solid seal along the length of the bag, ensuring that cold air cannot seep through the zipper teeth.
