    50 Degree Burrows?

    I notice 50 degree option is gone in Standard and Econ. What gives?

    I have lots of theories, but I’ll let the pros handle this one. I have wondered this too. What’s the actual reason 50° topquilts are rarely used?

    More than likely one of the ratings that sells the least.

    That would be my guess as well. Why buy a 50 degree quilt when a cheap down throw blanket from Costco or other retailers will work at that temp, and for way less

    Ohhhh, I'll play. Could be they are standardizing their sewing since the 50 degree was a sew through design and none of the other were.

    My econ 50 is probably my most used quilt. I use it for everything. Camping and not camping and just sitting around with my dog (who also loves it). I try to baby most of my quilts (which aren't econs) because I don't want to mess them up. The econ 50 was so cheap I never worry about it.
