Trying to pick out an underquilt and both of these are finalists. I don't have any first hand experience with either of them so any feedback at all on performance of either would be much appreciated. Also curious about the overall weight of the Zeppelin 30 degree with 800 fill membrane 15 shell if anyone has that.
The UGQ specs can be seen here: http://undergroundquilts.com/uq/default.html#SPECS
Both companies make top quality quilts. Both full-length uqs have a secondary suspension. Other than that:
HG uses Dutch's Argon fabric - UGQ has their own Illume brand.
The HG Incubator has a curved cut and a "leg shelf" (= the baffles change height in the leg area to save weight). Afaik, the UGQ Zeppelin is cut fairly straight, but I have never seen one close up, so I might be wrong.
The Incubator is a bit more narrow than the Zeppelin to save weight.
Overall, HG quilts are more weight-conscious.
If weight is not much of a concern, go with the features or colors you like best.
