I used my warbonnet ridgerunner with their quilt on my recent Ozark trip. Temps never got below 70 and it was in the high 80's until after midnight. I did not want to drop the UQ entirely but was unable to loosen it to create an air gap. I am going to look into something I can use to allow getting some space for hot nights.
Anyone else experience this or have ideas?
Otherwise it was a great sleep, no pinched shoulders that I experienced in the warbonnet.

I havnt tried this but you could drop some clothes in the UQ and create a gap between the RR and the quilt.

I have a custom UQ that has extra shock cord adjustment so I can get a sag when its warm. You could add a extra loop of schock cord to yours to get some sag . It works well when it warm out.

I got the LL Ridgereaper and at the footend it attaches with shockcords/cordlock, so you can tighten and loosen the quilt to vent. Not exactly sure how the Lynx attaches, but I guess you could retrofit to the Loco Libre system.

I use my same DIY Lynx clone in the winter and summer. My thought is that I don't change the mattress I use at home when I get hot, I focus on blankets. I've never had issues with using a 0 degree rated UQ in the summer when it's in the 60's or 70's at night.
