Cheaper UQ?

Just a heads up. A lot of members on this site push the "cottage vendors" that are listed on this site, so you're not going to get 100% unbiased recommendations. Just keep that in mind.

Ok so I know I can take the route of making my own UQ out of sleeping bags I already have, but what are thoughts on the cheaper UQ that are found online. I wont be doing a lot of hiking with it, mostly car camping so weight isnt an issue. I just want to know I can be warm 3 seasons

Examples, Wingoneer, oneTigris, uboway, snugpac

the short answer is YES, you'll be able to enjoy 3-season camping with cheaper, synthetic, car-camping level quilts.

My first under quilt was a snugpak, then made my DIY Costco quilts and finally went to the HG Econ 20. My snugpak worked really well yet I wanted to cut down on the weight, lowest that I went with that was in the high 30s. DIY is good but would never go below 45-50, I sleep cold. Econ 20 is too hot above 65. Snugpak seemed to span the temperature better yet was heavy. But I love my HG Econ as it is light and really warm in the lower temps.

i do recommend, researching the materials used and cross referencing them against DIY suggestions for thickness & temperature rating, just to be sure you'll be covered for the temps you plan to experience though
