Built a quilt a while back with climashield XP 2.5 oz.
The insulation weight was very close to correct.
Jump to now and I order some 5oz apex from thru hiker and the actual weight is 4.56 oz per SY. Wondering how that will affect its warmth since I was counting on a full 5 oz ??
Bought some 3.3 oz apex from OWF and it came in at almost 3.6 oz per yard.
Is it possible I am getting something other than Apex or is this just the nature of climashield ??
Thanks
I've got Apex, One, and Sport and they have similar variability from nominal.
owfinc.com specs it, for example, 1/2 to 1 inch loft. They said it varies from place to place on the batt, and from batch to batch.
I think if you got 4.45 oz instead of the nominal 5 oz, it will be proportionally less warm.
On the other hand, it would be difficult for you to tell the difference between two garments – 4.45 and 5 oz.
