Looking at several underquilts, advice wanted

[tdecell]

I've got a Hennessy Expedition asym zip and am looking at underquilts. I will hang in cold weather but have not been out in anything less than freezing, so I'm looking at 20-30 degree quilts. I would like to support vendors that support the hobby so if I've missed anyone that makes / sells good underquilts, please let me know. I'm looking for advice about full length quilts that would work with the HH. My budget is between 200-250, give or take...Here's what I've looked at so far:

UGQ Zeppelin 30*

Hammock Gear Incubator 20

Enlightened Equipment Revolt 30ht

Wilderness Logics 20*

all are between 19-22 oz in weight.

let me know if I've missed any good underquilts or any other advice..

I personally have the HG Incubator 20 and would recommend it 100%. Super warm, compacts small, crazy easy to set up also. This has been my first under quilt and I'm glad I went with the incubator. I'm 5'9 and went with the short, it covers me perfect underneath. Good luck with you're decision, I must say you can't go wrong with anything from HG in my opinion.

I also have HG 40*, 20* and 0* quilt sets and recommend them wholeheartedly. I'm 5'11" and bought the sewn footbox for all TQs. For UQ, the 40* and 20* are Phoenix since I don't feel the need for the Incubator till it gets well below 20 degrees.

I've used JRB, Hammock Gear, and Te-Wa. All good gear. The only full length underquilts I've used are JRB and I did use it extensively with HH before I started building my own hammock. The Sierra Sniveler is the current name of the model I used for that temp range. I don't know if they sell it as an underquilt anymore, but that is what I used.

I have a full length 0° Zeppelin and a 20° phoenix, so not an exact comparison but they are both fantastic quilts, work well and are easy to use. Imo and after examining and using both I would say the stitching and build quality/attention to detail on the UGQ quilt is marginally better but I prefer the design of the phoenix with the slight taper and shaped "leg shelf". All the quilts you have listed are well proven though and there will be small plusses and minuses no matter which you choose.

you should look into SURVIVE OUTDOORS LONGER® ESCAPE™ BIVVY
http://www.surviveoutdoorslonger.com...ape-bivvy.html

i haven't used it but you can reduce bulk and compression should not affect it's insulation properites since it doesn't use trapped air pockets of heat, just reflexes IR and i read it's breathable, maybe worth looking at? IMHO if you do please let us know how it works. don't have 50 bucks to experiement with hoping i could live my fanatasy through you : ) fyi i hear ground sleeper can go -10 with a sleeping bag inside the bivvy. gear porn is the best.

I have a Warbonnet Yeti and am very pleased with it. At 12 ounces, its one of the lightest under quilts out there.

I'm sure all mentioned are good but I vote for UGQ. Best quilt I have ever owned.

I Love my UGQ Quilt and will be getting 3 more from them as winter draws near.

After talking to several of the vendors, I went with the Hammock Gear incubator 20. Now I just need some cooler weather.
