Premium Phoenix Custom

I chose premium Phoenix 30F (with 1oz overfill) as my first HG item two years ago, to replace my not-so-great underquilt from another company. I spent about 30 nights in it so far, with lowest temperatures around 3C (37F). Dual suspension system works great and is easy to adjust. I love both the fabric silky feel & color (olive/black taffeta combo), fluffiness of the down (no cold spots at all), precise stitching and UQs superb comfort. It is warm, it also packs so small... I did feel slight chill under my back only once (during a windy, cold night) and after some minor adjustments (a little tightening of the primary suspension + loosening of the draft collar) everything was fine again. At lower temperatures (below 40F), it helps to insulate the lower part of the legs (calves to toes) with folded clothes, down jacket etc.
Since then I have become a loyal HG customer... bought premium Incubator (10F) later and recently also Burrow (20F) to complete my hammock setup. Thanks!

I bought a 20 degree Phoenix UQ with an ounce overfill this summer and now that I have been able to test it in cool temperature I am good for a review.
The build quality is excellent. Nothing to say there. I am an average sleeper, neither warm or cold. This UQ keeps me warm down to roughly 50 Fahrenheit. Around 40, I end my night shivering. HG claim that they overfill their UQ to achieve temperature rating based on our comfort, surpassing the industry standard survival temperature. Well it does not apply to me. I Now have to figure out how much loft a 3/4 UQ needs to keep me comfy to 20 degree.

***Hammock Gear response***
Stephane, it has been great talking to you about this issue. I hope you try some of the things that I have suggested, especially adding a pad underneath your legs and clipping up the suspension of the quilt to your hammock. The 3/4 length quilts require a bit more finesse at times as they do not insulate your legs and feet and if allowed to shift any quilt with any amount of fill can allow air gaps, which is why we add attachment points to both our quilts and hammocks. Please contact us back and let us know how the suggestions work for you!

I ordered a 40deg custom Phoenix and HG went above and beyond to get to me before my trip. The craftsmanship looks amazing and the loft is impressive. I have no doubts it will function as expected. Great product and great customer service.

So glad I upgraded from an inflatable pad! This underquilt kept me toasty warm on my late October adventure on the Knobstone Trail and is constructed really well. My shoulders used to get cold in the middle of the night when sleeping on a pad. I did not have that issue with this quilt. I am also glad to have ordered the 3/4 instead of full length. I found my feet did not get cold as the toe box of my top quilt kept them sufficiently warm.

When I purchased the underquilt, the lead time was 9 weeks, but the folks at Hammock Gear were able to get my quilt made and shipped in a little over a week. It arrived in time for my KT hike. I will definitely make additional purchases at Hammock Gear in the future!

I have been using HG quilts for years and finally needed a new underquilt. This is a fantastic product, beautifully sewn and warm. Fits and adjusts perfectly on my Dream Hammock. Looking forward to using this quilt for years to come

Many thanks for getting this to me so quickly. The stitching is top notch and after 2 outings it has kept me very warm, outstanding company. I will be back...

This is an incredibly warm, soft, light under quilt. I am in love! So easy to set up, it just hooks onto my hammock line that goes to the tree straps. I'm a newbie and looked long and far and did extensive research before I bought this UQ. EVERY penny was worth it! The stitching is perfect. There is no doubt it was hand made. Excellent craftsmanship!

The products fit and finish was great and it is very warm. Very satisfied with the purchase.

I love this under quilt. I recently used it on my hike of the Vermont Long Trail. It helped to keep me warm and my pack weight down for the steep climbs of the LT.
cheers,

Bought Phoenix 20F to used in Summer time..
Works just great and the Quality of the UQ is the best you can get.
My Combo 40F Burrow and 20F Phoenix works great in Finland where it can drop to 40F Even in Summer nights.

My first backpacking overnight this year was in March and was very cold and so was I. I replaced my synthetic under quilt with the 40deg. premium Phoenix under quilt and have said goodbye to CBS. I am 5'7" short using a Chameleon hammock with a diagonal lay I get excellent coverage. The combination of both 40degre top quilt and Phoenix under quilt makes going to sleep after a long day on the trail like sleeping at a 5 star hotel.
At first I was hesitant about spending so much money then I realized it is a one time purchase and well worth it. My quest for the perfect night sleep on the trail has come to an end.
Thank you Hammock Gear!!!!!!

Over time, we have purchased two Premium Phoenix, two Premium Burrows, two dyneema tarps, and miscellaneous gear from HG. The products are excellent in design and workmanship and why we keep coming back. Recently, I requested an additional 2 ounces of fill added to my Pheonix. Harry and the staff provided excellent communication, turn around time, and the additional loft I requested. I cannot overstate my appreciation for the integrity and professionalism of the entire HG operation.
