The Enlightened Equipment Enigma APEX 30F trades down for synthetic fill — Climashield APEX at 5.0 oz/yd² — a choice that matters most when conditions turn damp. Synthetic insulation keeps most of its loft when wet, unlike down, which collapses and stops insulating once soaked. With 400 g of fill it reaches a manufacturer-rated comfort temperature around 4°C and a limit rating near -1°C, at a total weight of 700 g.
That weight is roughly double a comparable down quilt in the Enigma line — the usual trade-off synthetic insulation makes: more bulk per unit of warmth for reliable wet-weather performance. Shell and liner are 10D nylon taffeta, the footbox is sewn permanently closed with no zipper or hood, and it ships with a stuff sack and storage sack, made in the USA with a one-year warranty.
It's a solid three-season choice for hikers in consistently humid or rainy regions, or anyone who prioritizes dependable warmth over shaving grams.
