UGQ Bandit vs HG Burrow

[kroot]

Does the burrow come with a draft collar? I just got a bandit from UGQ and being able to add the draft collar was a big factor in my decision to purchase from them.

I don’t think so, but there’s a chance they might do it on request. It doesn’t seem like a hard thing to make. On a related note. I noticed in the pics that the new Burrow design has one additional horizontal baffle at the neck end, unlike the Bandit. That seems like a good idea.

They also have smaller baffles at the far right and left, which I don’t remember seeing on the Bandit, but I’m not able to check it at the moment. That also seems like a nice touch. Here’s the Burrow pic I’m looking at:

for reference, I'm 5'7" 145lb , and I have used my standard width/ standard length burrow in my hammock and with a sleeping pad on the ground with no issues.

Only thing is it you have to reposition it when rolling from side to side on the ground. Sometimes it'll get untucked. In a hammock it's perfect, on the ground, it requires some attention when you reposition yourself. It has No problems covering me though.

If you mainly sleep on your back on the ground, you'll have 0 issues. Side sleeping just requires a bit of attention, but still covers fine.

If You are looking use the quilts backpacking, I found that the cheaper duck down UGQ quilts are lighter than the duck down econ HG quilts, but are priced higher. In fact, the weights of the cheaper UGQ quilts are almost the same as the premium HG quilts. So if weight is a concern get the UGQ ones.
