    Question 20F Operator Series Habanero UQ?

    George, are there plans to offer a full-length 20F Operator Series Habanero underquilt, something ultralight and "high-speed low-drag" to match up with my 20F Operator Series Ghost Pepper?

    Thanks for letting us know.

    I second this.

    Back when I introduced the Operator Series quilts I played with the idea of a OS 20° Habanero. The 3/4 50° makes sense because removing the draft collars and secondary didn't hurt the functionality of the quilt. I'd be concerned about removing the secondary from a full length 20° quilt, or a 3/4 length for that matter. It might not be a problem, but then again it could add to user error, with quilts doing the accordion thing and gapping. So if you don't remove the draft collars and secondary to pare it down, what makes it an OS Habanero?

    i appreciate your explanation of your thinking, and that certainly makes sense.

    Now if you want to order a 20° Habanero with no draft collars and secondary I'll put an Operator tag on it
