HG Econ vs premium

[MikekiM]

I have both Premium and Econ.

Functionally, and arguably visibly, they are the same. Suspension, cut, fit, warmth.. no difference. Premium is softer fabric and down, and it's really a pleasure. The econs are a little 'crunchier' given the different fabric but I don't find the inferior in any way. I am waiting on an econ TQ.. Having both I didn't see an overwhelming advantage to the Premium. My distances are usually short and my base weight is quite low with the econ tarps so I am fine staying with econ.

One potential snag is you have limited color choices. Might not seem like a big deal, but when I ordered the last TQ I tried to match the color of a custom econ phincubater.. no bueno. Even as a custom order it couldn't be done.

None of my econs have an odor.

I’ve got an Econ Incubator - it’s my first down underquilt and I think it’s great.
