In this video we take a look at cottage vendor quilts and mass production quilts, typically produced overseas. Primarily I look at quilts from Zpacks and UGQ as cottage vendors and then Paris Outdoor Products and Outdoor Vitals as mass produced quilts. When it comes to backpacking, and backpacking gear, you need to purchase and use what works best for you. Sometimes that means top of the line, high priced items, and sometimes that is budget focused gear that more often than not accomplishes the same thing as higher priced gear.
