Enlightened Equipment Torrid Apex

I personally chose synthetic insulation (Enlightened Equipment Torrid Apex) for a little more wiggle room if my stuff got wet and saw plenty of people using Patagonia Nano/Micro Puffs, Rab Xenons, a variety of lightweight down jackets, etc. Good luck man, it's a big undertaking.

If you are planning to stay the same size, a Torrid Apex is a great jacket, and I use it all the time in Missouri and Arkansas. Personally, I have a Decathlon MH100 fleece, a Torrid Apex, and frogtoggs. That is a good balance even with overnight lows in the 20s, and daytimes in the 30-50's. A Torrid Apex is **$170** A decathlon puffy is like **$80**,

It was totally worth the $12 and I appreciate them suggesting it. BTW the jacket is great and I decided on a Large at 6' 0", 175-195lbs depending on things.

It’s a great rechargeable headlamp, which may ultimately be better for the environment. The Torrid Apex is fantastic (although I hate how shiny my black 10d stock version is).
