Synthetic underquilts and rain protection

[Tikker]

Is there a good estimate on CS breakdown stats vs down?

Well, I've got a down quilt kicking around at home that's older than I am (42) and has been thru the washing machine (and manual crank style!) more times than I'd want to guess, and it's still fine

granted, it doesn't get compressed the way a backpacking quilt does, but down isn't ridiculously fragile

Last year I heard from the person who has the very first quilt we made...9+ years ago now. It's still in use regularly and performing just fine. And that was 2 generations ago's Climashield. The new APEX performs even better and recovers from hard use much better. And since that first quilt, we have built somewhere over 10,000 Climasheild quilts.

Good to know and pretty amazing.

How long have you been using APEX versus the earlier versions of CS?

I have several Arrowhead quilts ( TQ and UQ's ) that I have been using for about 8 years that are still going strong.

Around 4 years now if my memory serves me right. Probably 4-5 thousand quilts.
