Thru hiker carries it. About 16$ a yard I believe.

Just a question. Is this the same stuff? On this site it shows a 2.1 oz, a 3.3 oz and a 6 oz option. On the thru hiker it shows a 2.5 oz and a 5.0 oz.Originally Posted by Scoot
Is it all the same material with different weights or just labeled different. Everything I have read on the forum talks about 2.5 oz or 5.0 oz.
I believe to 2.5 and 5 are for climashield APEX which is the latest and greatest. The others are for an older version. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
The 2.5 and 5.0 from Thru Hiker are CS Apex.
The 2.1 and 6.0 from OWF are labeled as Apex whereas the 3.3 is not.
My buddy Paddles and I both made 3/4 length CS Apex 7.5 (layers of both 2.5 and 5.0) under quilts. We tested them out last Sunday night along with the CS Apex 5.0 TQs we also made. 30 deg when we turned in - nice and warm. I think the UQ would probably be good well into the 20s. The Apex 5.0 TQ is about at it's comfortable limit for me at 30 deg. These will be our kayak camping quilts. Greatly prefer the synthetic fill where they could be exposed to water.
I have purchased CS Apex, etc. from Thru Hiker 3 times now and always received rapid service. I bought the fabric for these quilts from DIY Gear Supply. Ordering their 1.1 ripstop seconds ($2.85 / yd right now) saves money and I have never found a flaw in the fabric. Pick up some Geutermann thread while you're at it!
