    Jarbridge vs. Yeti vs. Incubator 20

    What is the best bang for the buck? Jarbridge, Yeti, or Incubator 20? I plan on camping down to the 30's.

    I have the incubator 20 & love it. There is a sale on the jarbrdge for 2 more days so it's the most bang for the buck while on sale. I ordered 2 for my wife & I for 3 season use which is what their designed for.

    Not really an apples to apples comparison. Those are three different lengths, as well as two different types of insulation.

    If you want full coverage, get the Incubator. HG is top shelf and there's little fuss. I have a custom length 68" incubator, best money I've spent. I also have a Leighlo 48" UQ which is also a down fill like the incubator and is 2" longer than the Yeti, but needs a pad for my legs. I can't speak about the Jarbridge because I don't have one but most reviews I've seen say it's a great synthetic quilt. It's also the cheapest of the bunch so if you're just trying to save money, it's likely your best option.

    I like down, not synthetics as a rule. Every quilt you mentioned is a well made piece of kit and you won't go wrong with your choice. You just need to ask partial length or full length.

    Also, as mentioned Jarbridge is on sale right now so 'best bang for your buck'...

    Thanks for your detailed response Brady. I honestly am impressed with the time you gave me. I purchased the Jarbridge today due to the sale, I will one day upgrade to down as it is the only true UQ material in the hammock world…One day...

    buy all 3 and test them. Keep the one you like and sell the other 2 on here

    Who cares about showers, gourmet food, using flush toilets. Just keep on walking and being away from it all.

    There are times that the only way you can do something is to do it alone.

    Have 3/4 and FL UQs. Mostly use 3/4 lengths. Have HG Phoenix 20 and Jarbridge 3 Season ( actually have 2 of them ). If backpacking I prefer HG because it packs smaller. If car camping I will use either one. The HG Incubator is a FL UQ. If you are looking to save some $$$ them go with the Jarbridge, If you have the $$ then flip a coin and get either the HG Phoenix or the Warbonnet Yeti. Both are excellent products.

    I just received my Jarbridge in the mail today. This is my first UQ and am excited to set it up on next day off.

    I hope you have self control.. They tend to multiply.. I've now located 5 of them at my house, and I live alone.
