    Incubator Fabric Choices

    Is there any particular reason why the incubators only have the choice of black or brown for the inside color? I'm sure HG would make one in any requested color, (I'm thinking coyote brown on the outside and orange on the inside) but is the 10d better than the 15d for any reason?

    My guess would be to dry it out if it got exposed to mist, fog or splatter from rain, seems a dark color gets warmer faster than a lighter one especially in the colder months where limited sun may be available.

    While you're probably right about it drying faster, that doesn't seem to me like a good enough reason to restrict the inside colors by default. An underquilt getting wet is not necessarily inevitable.

    My guess would be: to keep the prices low. But you can always contact them and ask if they would do some custom work for you.
