We're happy to announce a new change to the website. We are introducing all quilts standard with 900FP exclusively, at the 800FP price!
We will still offer 800FP for the DIYer's, but with many budget-minded folks interested in 900FP but with the 800FP budget, we're making it possible for all folks to benefit from the free upgrade. THANKS for your support!!

Another great service to the hammock community.
I have a UQ for every season from HammockGear all in 900fp and love each one more than the others (don't tell them I said that :lol:)

Great to hear Stormcrow but how does that effect those of us that have already ordered and paid for the 900 fill but have not yet received our quilts?

Man Stormcrow Your quilts keep getting better and better but I don't have any More quilts to order from you I already have all 3 seasons
That's incredibly awesome Stormcrow! This will be a huge savings to everyone.
Is this a deal for a limited time only? Unknown time? Or permenant?
Thanks for being so helpful to this community.

Oh, that is awesome. Good timing too, since I am hoping to order a 3 season Incubator soon.
Thanks Stormcrow!

...just ordered a winter incubator... ;>
Boo. Right after I ordered my UQ! So it goes!
Well this is the second offer I've missed out on in the time I've been waiting for my quilts. I got my order in before the Black Friday offer so I missed that and have now missed this one as well. Hopefully they'll be ready soon!
I didn't even know that Black Friday was that crazy in the US.. in Canada its day as usual.. next year, i'll be prepare for deals and such
O man i wish i had waited and got the 900 fill down instead of the 800 for that price o well it is still a sweet underquilt.
just to clarify... before this move you stated on your website that the 900 fill option would give an extra 5 degrees toward the temp rating (making a 3S go from 20 to 15 comfort range). this was assumed that you put the same "weight" of down in, but it lofted more due to the extra 100 fill
now with the 900 fill being the only option, is the fill weight going to stay the same, essentially making your summer a 35, 3S a 15, and winter a -5?

Essentially, yes. We are keeping the same weight of down in the quilts so in theory the better loft of the higher grade down will lower the temp rating by a few degrees. We are working on updating the site in all the tables and descriptions that discuss temp ratings and grade of goose down.
Also, orders were made and have yet to be filled will be rewarded for their wait with the free down upgrade. We are trying to make this transition as easy as possible. I understand this might rub a few of the outstanding orders that paid full price for 900 down. The upside is that you are getting a great quilt with 900 down in it at an already great price. However, if you still feel burned, shoot me an email and we can talk about it. :D
Thanks everyone for your kind words and keep you eyes open for some new happenings over here at Hammock Gear....

Wow! Hey, thanks! Now that is integrity. Looking forward (even more!) to my underquilt!
