    Is Hammock Gear phasing out the econ models?

    I noticed on Hammock Gear's website that only the 40 degree econ top quilts and under quilts are available now.
    I hope they are just changing the design or something.

    I just checked it out and everything looks like it's still available! Scroll down a bit and all the options are there for your downy pleasure!

    I hope so, while checking on a couple of recent orders of econ gear the following message is displayed under my orders, "Unfortunately this product is no longer for sale so it cannot be reordered." Thankfully I just ordered a new 0 degree econ top and under quilt.

    (It also appeared every choice other than the 40 degree quilts were "greyed out" on the order page, but I think that;s because they weren't highlighted, I've had to go light on my thinking, I keep setting off the smoke detectors ).

    I see the same thing. The website was updated so I'm sure it's just a temporary fluke, some links need cleaned up. For now, click on the dropdown top link "Insulation", then select top or under quilt, then you make your "degree" selection from there.

    Looks good!

    It would be an excellent rumor to start a buying spree were it true. Like if down or fabric prices suddenly increased by quite a bit due to trade wars or something..

    They were never meant to be a forever item. I think HG got a deal on a huge amount of 800fp down and 1.1 material. When that down was gone so were the econs... at least initially. May be a fluke.. but they very well may be done.

    Agreeing with Shug, it seems HIGHLY unlikely. Based on anecdotal evidence, the ECON lines are now moving much more than the regular.

    Again, it's just a web redesign. Hover the Insulation link at top, click "Economy Top Quilts" then click the product. Then select the color/temp.

    If you're getting a "no longer available" page, you probably clicked an old link after doing a google search or bookmark.
