This morning I ordered a 40º Carolina Reaper with synthetic insulation (UP). Im very curious how it performs. I love down but I spend a lot of time on and around the water in the not-so-cold months. Down and water just don't mix. Right now Im using top and under quilts in warmer months made with Apex. I figured since there is a multi week lead time I may as well go ahead and get it ordered so Ill have it when its needed. Now the wait begins. I must say Im more excited to try out this insulation than I have been with any other quilt I've owned.
