    What companies currently make "economy" down UQs?

    I know HammockGear has their Econ series and Loco Libre has their Saver series of UQs. Who else makes a 20 degree full length down UQ for under $200 these days?

    Loco Libre does not seem to offer the saver series any longer.

    from what i heard the qualityis good but do your own research. prices are great.

    if u have an old down sleeping bag or can get your hands on one, tailer can make an UQ for you.

    We currently have UQ under $200, these are not ECONOMY quilts as they use our standard fabrics and are available in either 800, 850, or 950. 850 and 950 bump you north of $200 but are still great buys considering the quality of the down.
    Happy Hangin'

    Loco Libre is coming out with another series of UQs, I believe called the Operator series, that is more budget friendly, if I recall.

    I still think his synthetic Cayenne Pepper underquilt is one of the best buys out there, especially for a first time underquilt

    Enjoy the Shopping

    I have experience with Hammock Gear and UGQ. Both companies have outstanding customer service.

    My UQ's from each place are difficult to compare, as they are rated for different temps, they're different lengths, and one may have some overfill. But I bought from UGQ first and the Zeppelin blew me away. I've described the Zeppelin as super lux and the build out is simply beautiful.
    Look closely at the pics on their websites, they are representative of what you'll buy.

    Let me add that Warbonnet's torso length 20 degree UQ is great for backpacking (as long as compensation for the short length is considered). Mine stood up to some serious wear in '16 and came out of my washer good as new. That cleaning method is not recommended, if I remember correctly.

    Anyway, enjoy the comparison shopping and get ready for a great experience.
