Worth remembering though... this is 2 ounce apex. About a 50-55* quilt's worth when brand new.

60g Primaloft is a pretty solid 50*
100g is 40-45*
Primaloft Gold will hold up longer and is warmer when wet.

For the OP- synthetic puffy all day on the AT. Especially if you have a down bag.

Sale time at patagonia (my favorite)

The micro puff is a classic beater.
The Nano Air is awesome, especially if you plan to sleep in it. But needs a windshell to pair with it as it is very breathable.

I have the micro puff now (REI dividend) but have not had a chance to use it as I got it during the early summer sale.
Checked the fit and put it back in the closet. It's REI... so it can go back if it sucks.

I would personally not buy an apex jacket... but EE does use lighter shell material and it's generally good enough shell material to serve as it's own windshell. So for what it is (light puffy) it's not a bad piece.
So your saying that the EE Torrid Apex jackets, insulation is really the equivalent of a 50 degree quilt? I have only tried mine on but it kept me warm outside in a t shirt at 40 degrees. Not just warm, but hot.
I just got one for my birthday and its synthetic which i like and light, though doesn't pack super small. I was going to bring this for my AT hike but it sounds like its not all that warm, compared to a Ghost Whisperer?
