    You would absolutely love the 20 degree HG Premium Incubator. While I have a number of top quilts in various temp ratings I always use the 20 HG Premium Incubator 20 degree for my underquilt.

    My vote is have the doors. As others have said, clip them out of the way when you don't need them and you have a hex tarp. When it's raining sideways deploy the doors and stay nice and dry.

    Unfortunately I do not. I use the 1.0 in the summer and the 1.6 when it gets colder out, so they never have a chance to visit.
