Best praise vs top criticism for Enlightened Equipment Torrid Apex
“Just guessing, but the UL down jacket segment is quite competitive and there isn't much new to offer in this space. UL synthetic jackets otoh are fairly rare. The EE Torrid is one of the only mainstream sub-12oz jackets using Apex continous filament insulation (thus no baffle lines). So the Torrid is pretty unique given its weight, insulation type, UL fabrics, and overall minimalist design. Making an EE down jacket would be pointless as it would just be another UL down jacket in a saturated market segment. ”
“The issue with the Torrid is definitely packability and longevity.”
