I'm going to buy an underquilt to use with a Warbonnet Blackbird gathered end hammock. My wife who is 140 lbs and 5'5" will be the primary user. I will use this when backpacking solo and I am 5'10" 250lbs. (soon to be 200, I hope).
I am looking at the Hammock Gear Incubator 20 and the Underground Quilts full length Zeppelin 20. I'm trying to make sure I'm comparing apples to apples. When both quilts use 850 water-resistant goose down, the Zeppelin is 4-3/4 oz. heavier and $20 more expensive. The Zeppelin is wider and has one more oz of fill which explains part of the increased weight. UGQ lists the baffle height of the down channels as 2.5" Hammock Gear does not list the baffle height of the Incubator.
I have not see a good photo of the hammock side of the Incubator. I have seen on the Zeppelin that there are draft tubes (collars) along both sides and at the head and foot. Are there draft tubes on the Incubator as well?
Here are the specs on both:
Incubator 20 (850 goose down)
Length: 78 "
Width: 44"
Fill Weight: 12 oz.
Total Weight: 22 oz.
Price: $249.00
Zeppelin 20 Full Length (850 goose down)
Length: 77"
Width: 47"
Fill Weight: 13 oz.
Total Weight: 26.75 oz.
Price: $269.95
Can anybody provide any insight that might help me make my choice?
