Just how Kick Ass are Kick Ass Quilts?

We received this report from one of our customers who has put a lot of use on his gear. 

Of all the things I am upgrading this year, like hammocks, tarps and suspensions, there are two pieces of gear that will not be needing an upgrade; my Owyhee and New River quilts. 

From the Kick Ass line, they really live up to their namesake. I am hard on gear, which is why I went with synthetic in the first place; and I have to say that these are tough pieces of equipment. 

Just a few incidents: 
I had my Owyhee blow out of the hammock and into the river, it was dry in about 1 hour or so and I used it that night. 
I didn't put my tarp up when hunting and it rained, hard; it filled my New River up with water, I bet I had 30 gallons of water in that thing. I dried it out and used it that night. 
Another time I also didn't put my tarp up and it rained I ended up using the Owyhee all night next to the fire, after I dried it out next to the fire of course. 
They have blown out of boats, fallen off of four wheelers and been tossed out of truck beds (actually, that was the whole backpack, but they were attached). 

My quilts have been my constant and faithful companions, keeping me warm without fail. I'm not sure but I think I have had them 4 or 5 years now, which is a testament to their toughness. 

My Kick Ass Quilts will not be upgraded.
Climashield APEX synthetic insulation and water, hammock quilt, synthetic hammock quilt, synthetic quilt insulation performance,
And to quantify his comments above is a layer of raw Climashield APEX Insulation, the same that goes into every one of our quilt...this is right off the production line,  with about a 1/2 ounce of water pooled right on the insulation.  The Climashield APEX insulation is hydrophobic, so water does not actually absorb into the insulation fibers.  While water could collect between the individual fibers it won't absorb into them so drying your quilt out, should you get into a situation like the customer above, will take very little time and you will still get outstanding performance back immediately.
