    All of Hammock Gear's Insulation Just Got A Major Upgrade

    Hammock Gear is known for using quality materials and craftsmanship to make some of the best camping equipment around. We're also known for crushing the competition when it comes to offering high quality USA Made gear at an affordable price. Continuing on that path is a huge part of our mission as a cottage manufacturer.

    We're excited to announce that all of our insulation just got a major upgrade!

    • Economy Quilts now come standard with 850 fill power down
    • Premium Quilts now come standard with 900 fill power down
    • Premium Quilts can still be upgraded to 950 fill power down


    This means that our quilts are warmer than ever before, offering the best cost-to-warmth value around! Go ahead and check. We'll be here when you get back

    nice! how much smaller does 900 fill pack down compared to 950?

    Great question! Approximately 10% volume savings could be expected between the 900fp and 950fp options.

    I think upgrading products is great .... just curious how the math works in this case.

    Assuming the shell, baffles etc are the same and you change from 900 to 950 ... that amounts to ~5% difference in the volume of the down ... so how did you get to 10% for the quilt? It would seem that with a 5% down volume reduction the overall change in volume would likely be in the range of 2 - 4% for the quilt.

    Hey Brian, if you take a look at our fill weights for 900fp and 950fp there is approximately a 10% difference between the two. This means that there will be approximately a 10% difference in volume as well. I've linked our product fill weights below for your reference.

    Wow, good news, does that mean my order that still is shown as “Awaiting Fulfillment” gets the upgrade?
