Any body using the Torso Length Lynx with a RR bridge? If so, what size you using either the 3 season or winter? Got any pics of it and how it attaches?
Thanks for the replys.

I have a 3 season Lynx, but no photos yet.

The head end is the same as shown in the WB Setup Vid for the full length Lynx.

The foot end is shortened and grosgrain straps extend from the corners to reach the RR foot end spreader bar loops for attachment. Both the full length and torso length Lynx's have strong "rubber bands" at the foot end to provide tension.

So at the head end of the Lynx torso quilt,,it would cover your head and down? or would it start at the shoulders?

The torso length covers your head exactly as the full length does rather than shifting it too the shoulders. I imagine one could extend the head end connections and shorten the foot end connections to shift it a bit, but I have not tried this yet.

I would rather have the torso length start at the shoulder because I use a pillow. Can somebody confirm it can really be shifted a little bit to the foot end?

Thanks

You'll like the full length Acer.

OK...more testing done...it was a good excuse to try the WBRR on my small turtlelady stand.

Extension methods used were "quick and dirty".

What I found was the farther the Lynx was extended toward the foot end, the more a gap was formed at the head end. The photos are with a 4" extension. This made a small gap which sealed a few inches in and my shoulders remained warm.

If you wanted to modify the Lynx to use it this way, small darts where indicated in the photo would get rid of the gap.

Thanks alot gmcttr, the pic is worth a thousand words

In central Texas there isn't a long cold winter that call for a full length UQ, a torso length + Gossamer gear foot pad take care of more than 3 seasons.

Now if I can talk Brandon into doing a camo lynx

we actually just received some of the 40 denier downproof multicam fabric, i think it's 1.4-1.5 OSY to make quilts with, if anybody wants a quilt in multicam just shoot me an email

Sorry to take so long on the photos. I set up, took photos, it was snowing, I laid down....you get the idea.

I'm 5'-8". If I lay with my head all the way to the head end (which you do to take advantage of the "head rest") the UQ ends right under my knees.

20* torso length Lynx with 1 oz over stuff. Photos taken with RR turned upside down...
