Simple Quilt Apex 10D -2C Synthetic Quilt

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Minimal, effective, and ultralight, the Simple Quilt Apex 10D is well-suited for those looking to cover more miles with less weight.

Liteway says: 

SIMPLE QUILT APEX 10D is a top quilt.

For fastening to a sleeping mat, we have done loops along the long sides of the quilt. For extra warmth, we recommend using with warm socks. Warm seams give the Simple Quilt perfect heat preservation. It means that cold air can’t get through the seams. You will find in the set of the Simple Quilt the mosquito net, which you can use as a case for a quilt or a sleeping bag and as protection against mosquitoes and insects.

Insulation produced in the USA – Climashield Apex.

Climashield® APEX reaches new heights in combinations of weight and thermal efficiency. This innovative insulation is the lightest weight and most thermally efficient continuous filament insulation on the market today.

Due to its unique continuous filament construction – no matter how many times the garment is stretched, compressed or washed, Climashield APEX is resilient under harsh conditions, holding its original shape after multiple uses or laundering. With technology AquaBan® – this technology ensures warmth in wet and humid conditions. It does not absorb moisture, because each fibre is coated with acrylic.

Our Verdict

The Liteway Simple Quilt Apex 10D is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a lightweight synthetic quilt with an incorporated foot box. Weighing around 495 grams, this quilt uses Climashield Apex insulation, which is efficient in warmth-to-weight and performs well even in damp conditions, making it ideal for unpredictable environments.

Constructed from a 10D Nylon DWR Ripstop shell, the Simple Quilt Apex is durable enough for regular trail use. The quilt is rated for +4°C (Comfort Limit), making it suitable for three seasons, though pairing it with a good sleeping mat is essential for maximising comfort in chillier temperatures.

I particularly like the simplicity and versatility of this quilt. The side loops allow it to be easily secured to a sleeping mat, helping to eliminate drafts during the night. The included mosquito net that doubles as a storage sack is a thoughtful touch, adding storage and insect protection.

While it lacks the structure of a traditional sleeping bag, the Simple Quilt Apex facilitates an excellent degree of freedom of movement and weight savings, making it a standout option for those who prefer minimalist gear without sacrificing warmth.
