The Lynx and 6 foot plusers

[drsolarmolar]

Been looking at the Lynx underquilt for the Ridgerunner and have noticed in the pictures on Warbonnet's website it seems the Lynx stops about 4-5 inches short of the end on the foot end. I'm 6'2" and it seems my feet would be over the end of the Lynx based on the pictures.

Any six foot plus tall folks out there using the Lynx and finding their feet not insulated (quilt too short)?

I'm certainly not 6'+, but my first thought is that you'll want to have a (long) top quilt -- maybe one with a foot box -- so your feet should be nicely cradled inside that, with the Lynx mostly below you...

My Lynx fits to the end of my RR, your TQ box should keep y our toes warm.

Same here. Lynx goes all the way to the end of the hammock and your top quilt completes the coverage.

I am 6'2" tall. I built a shaped differential-cut DIY synthetic underquilt for my 80" long DIY bridge hammock, which suspends in a manner roughly equivalent to that of the Warbonnet Lynx. My quilt has an insulated area of about 72", at least 2" longer than the Lynx, IIRC, but it is perfect as full-length bottom insulation for my bridge. I think you would be just fine with a full-length Lynx on a RR hammock, especially if you use a pillow with some insulation value under you head in your hammock, as many bridge users do. My $0.02. HTH...
