    That's the type of info I'm looking for... Is the heavier fabric of such higher quality that it makes it worth the weight penalty?

    Further studying seems to indicate the rip-stop used by HG is .67 oz. per square yard and the rip-stop used by UGQ is .9 oz. per square yard. That would account for the difference in weight.
