I just got my hands on some 2.1oz APEX. Its a little late in the season for a website overhaul since in two months these wont cut it but id like to post them here for anyone interested. I suspect the temp rating to be 45-50*
Prodigy 45*
5'6" SLIM ~13oz $175
5'6" REG ~14.5oz $175
5'6" WIDE ~15.25oz $1756' SLIM ~14oz $180
6' REG ~15.5oz $180
6' WIDE ~16.25oz $1806'6" SLIM ~15oz $185
6'6" REG ~16.5oz $185
6'6" WIDE ~17.25oz $185Weights estimated assuming 10D liner and 15D-WR shell
fabrics available:
Tan10D
Charcoal10D
Black 15D-HB(no WIDE)
Rose(pink)15D-HB(no WIDE)
Aspen Green 15D-WRCurrently we're building these 2 weeks out, of course that depends on order volume

Aug 13, 2012 at 7:17 pm #1902458With all these color options Tim, think we might be seeing some sort of overhaul of the fabrics page soon?
Aug 13, 2012 at 7:21 pm #1902460Did it today. I'm not putting the Rose 15D-HB up as I don't have a lot.

Aug 13, 2012 at 7:37 pm #1902463These may "cut" it for anyone using this as an overbag to supplement their quilt. A 6'6" WIDE would make a great overbag paired with a regular 3-season down quilt. Just a thought for anyone without a dedicated winter bag/quilt.
Aug 14, 2012 at 11:02 am #1902600Where is this page Tim? A quick look over your website didn't reveal anything.
Aug 14, 2012 at 11:03 am #1902602It's a secret
Info tab at top right then choose fabric
Aug 14, 2012 at 11:20 am #1902609I'm still not seeing any color previews in my browser?
Aug 14, 2012 at 11:28 am #1902613Oh no you're right no colors up. Once the green and charcoal come in I'll add pics to my Facebook.

Aug 14, 2012 at 4:44 pm #1902694Wonder how far this would bring down the rating of my Summerlite…
Aug 17, 2012 at 7:51 am #1903481Sorry Will, missed this.
Conservatively it should boost the rating by 10-15* I haven't used it that way since i hate the cold so experience will mean more than my estimation.
