    Hammock Gear Econ 40

    I just got back from a quick over night with my new under quilt and had to come post a review! I'm beyond impressed!

    I had a two night trip in the Talladega National Forest planned for the weekend. Thursday, I was all packed to go but, on a lark, I decided to check the shipping on my new UQ and low and behold, it was to be delivered by 8 pm! I went home on my lunch break and there she sat! I was prepared to take a ccf pad and sleeping bag but, quickly repacked things to a top quilt and my new UQ.

    Temps were supposed to be in the low 60s in town at night so i figured on mid 50s up on the ridge where I planned to camp. I could not be more impressed with how warm I slept. I did not sleep with my costco down top quilt (homemade) until about 4 in the morning when the wind really picked up. I had been mildly concerned about only doing the 3/4 length but, being a relatively short woman, it was great coverage from my shoulders almost to mid calf. I'm one very happy customer!

    That's good news. I'm using my 40 F Econ Phoenix for the first time this weekend. Thanks for sharing.

    Hammock Gear makes some good stuff. I've spent many a night in the Talladega Forest with my HG quilts and have never had a problem with them. I have several of their quilts and have been pleased with all of them. I've ordered a top and bottom 40 degree quilt from them and hoping they'll come in this week for a trip we're going on the southern end of the Pinhoti this coming weekend. Keeping fingers crossed !!
    I hate it when people accuse me of lolly gagging when I'm clearly dilly dallying...
