Underquilt comparisons

[leiavoia]

Converely, if you decide to use a different brand of underquilt on a Warbonnet hammock, you may find that narrower underquilts -- approximately 44" or less in width -- fit better.

Nope. Haven't found that. I'm actually liking the wider quilts, so i think this is more of a personal preference issue.

I got an HG Econ 40 just recently and absolutely love it. Just a couple more ounces than the regular version and $100 cheaper.

+1. I LOVE my 40° econ too. Compared to my regular Burrows there's not much of a difference as far as how the 15 denier .90 Argon vs the Econ's 20 denier Ion for the outer shell. And the 10 denier .67 taffeta I have inside the "standards" is smooth, but the ION still has a nice hand to it and is still pretty smooth. Other than that and the slight weight increase, which doesn't bother me anyway, they are the same. Definitely worth buying it you are just getting into this craziness or if you don't mind the extra few oz's. HG really hit it out of the park with the Econ line . Most of the other cottage quilt manufacturers were almost forced to come out with a budget series of their own I think, and that did 2 things : (1) improved the quality of cottage quilts in general and even more so now from the healthy competition between vendors to come out with their own economy quilt lines , and (2). created a way for those on a budget and those new to hanging to get out and enjoy hammocking year round, comfortably and with the option to choose which vendors design they like best or suits their needs better. Healthy competition, quality products and low prices are key for a healthy, free market and everyone benefits from that, vendors and consumers alike. But you really can't go wrong with any of the courage vendors quilts. At this point, its come down to personal preference pretty much.

I give my vote to the Wooki. I now use it on all my hammocks with zero issues, it works just as well on my warbonnet as it does on my other hammocks and the only tinkering is about 10 minutes to get the length right on initial setup then you are done forever. The best thing is there is no shock cord touching my head.
As a side benefit (for me at least) it doesn't try and eat my hammock when I get up to pee in the middle of the night.

Hi everyone,
I have a WBRR and will be in the market for a full underquilt. I am looking at the Lynx and the Loco Libre Reaper (20 degree). I would appreciate your thoughts on the advantages and disadvantages of both. I realize the cost of the Lynx is higher. Thanks!

You will get more replies if you open a new thread. Especially since this thread is about underquilts for gathered end hammocks and you are looking for information about underquilts for bridge hammocks.

Just got my 30 degree Incubator Econ and spent 6 night in it. Temps hovered at night between 60-70 and it was totally comfortable. Can't imagine what another quilt could do better (but I don't worry about weight bulk) so I'm very happy with my purchase. Took forever to get here though (only complaint)...
