Climashield APEX - 2.5 oz/sq yd

THE BEST insulation we have found for diy projects. Using tissue paper makes it simple to sew for the beginner....slow but simple..We have purchased from RSBTR several times and highly recommend.

I am so very happy with my purchases. I’ve made one camping quilt and will make another in a few days. The one I made weighs 22 ounces. Very happy with this. You all rock on service! Very helpful and fast delivery

After nearly 40 years, I made a Frostline sleeping bag kit that was in the attic. It was missing two pieces of Polarguard. I was pleased to discover Ripstop by the Roll carried similar insulating fill. It arrived almost immediately, was easy to cut and sew.

I made a neck pillow that weighs 2.6oz and feels great!
As suggested by one of the RSBTR team, I used 1.0 HyoerD for the shell.

As usual, the service provided during this purchase was exceptional.

Climashield apex handles pretty well for construction and provides great warmth. I used it in my front country quilt.

Just sew and go. This is way way way easier than down. Made a top quilt and a dog bed out of my kit

Made a 50ish temp top quilt for my dad, mainly an emergency quilt while in his 4 wheeler. Turned out very well. The layering of the fibers is thicker in some areas than others, no issues sewing.

Arrived in a timely fashion. Used some 3.5 to reinforce the r-value of a fairly useless sleeping bag. I now have some new sewing and skills and insights into making my next quilt. Thanks for the quality product. I’ll be back.

Took some time but I got it figured out in the end. The big thing was take it slow and easy when sewing through the insulation. It will want to build up on the presser foot where the top thread passes through. I found using my union card to help flatten the insulation and help with the build up issue.

I've made multiple orders from this company and have always been impressed by the quality and speedy delivery of every product I purchased. The selection of materials and other components related to my hammock camping hobby are unmatched by any other source that I have found. Great company and I will remain a loyal customer. Thank you for providing this service and quality products.

Perfect!

I used Apex 2.5 & 1.1 ripstop to make a small underquilt / camp snuggie. It weighs nothing and is much warmer than any commercially available camp throw. Easy on the wallet and delightfully water resistant, too. My only challenge is wrestling it away from the cat when I want to use it.

Made a full length Apex underquilt with two layers of 2.5 under the top 46 inches and one layer under the rest. Expect it to be good to 40 deg.

I previously used the 5 oz for a top quilt; this purchase also for top quilt. Sewing the 5 oz material to the inverted quilt "envelop" taught me that my sewing machine pulls the material significantly, so I hand-stitched the perimeter of the 2.5 oz, which took less time than fighting and seam ripping required on the 5 oz effort. Material is great.

I made a synthetic dog quilt for my dog to match our custom down quilts from Underground quilts. I used the same outer and inner fabrics as UGQs, also purchased from ripstopbytheroll. My dog loves her quilt.

Extremely warm for its weight, easy to work with and sew, and durable enough to withstand a few mistakes and seamrips :) Will definitely use synthetic insulation more often!

Used to improve insulation in a TNF jacket and made a sleep beanie. Lightweight and warm.

Climashield APEX - 2.5 oz/sq yd

I made some insulated pants with 2.5oz APEX, attached only at waist and ankles. Seems to be holding up. The pants are warm enough to not feel the cold in single digits F on the short walk in to the office. Not sure about sustained cold yet.

Received the insulation on time and as ordered. Plan to double (5 oz/yd) for summer quilt (possibly ≥32F & good if moist) with Ripstop by the Roll 0.66 oz/yd MEMBRANE 10 taffeta nylon material (≈20 oz). Also, plan to use these same materials to sew a weather strip behind the zipper on my Enlightened Equipment Torrid APEX Custom parka.

Purchased one yard of the Climashield Apex 2.5 oz. Once I opened up the package, the material had a fold down the center of the insulation that didn't look right. I emailed RSBTR and within 24 hours had a response from Leslie that what I received was probably a section where the manufacturer splices together two pieces. She said that while it is still functional, she sent another piece of insulation in the mail that day to ensure my satisfaction. The piece arrived and looks great. The insulation feels warm and appears to be great quality. Planning on using this for a small backpacking quilt for my daughter. Very happy with the product and extremely happy with the customer service!

Perfect product for what was looking to find

I made a hammock with built in under blanket and a top quilt to go with it. The climashield 2.5 is almost 3/4 inch thick after expanding. My previous camping hammock set up much too warm, only good for under 60°. This one is designed for Midwest summer camping. I slept in it on 55° night and was pretty comfortable. Below that, would require a hat and possibly sweater. But perfect for my intended use. The hammock, quilt, suspension, and 8*10 silnylon tarp is about 4 lb.

I ordered a front country quilt kit last year using the 5.5 apex with a silpoly pu 4000 outer shell for water and wind resistance. It's the bomb! Light weight pack able and warm. I use it during hunting season on long sits and when I bring my son. This year I ordered one in 2.5 apex for my mother who is in a nursing home, she needed something light weight and warm. She loves it ! I had to ask her for some sewing pointers. This project came out better than my first build. Your instructions are easy to follow and the end product is very nice! Thanks

Pretty thin and light, but feels very warm and durable.

I received my order very fast and I'm already thinking of what I'll attempt next for MYOG!!

I shop on line almost exclusively. RSBTR order process is the best I have found and should be the example of how it should be done. Great communication the whole way.

The products ordered were as expected. No complaints. I got what I wanted.

I ordered Climashield insulation and Nylon. The first project is a quilt. My wife knocked that out in about an hour. The resulting quilt is so light weight and warm. We refer to it as a Coma Comforter because you sleep deep.

Next project is dog jackets. I have two dogs (manly ones, not poodles) and they enjoy to be warm. I'll send pics when done.

All in all, I bookmarked RSBTR and will be a returning customer.
