    Warbonnet Lynx or UGQ Ambush - total confusion

    Guys,
    I've narrowed my UQ search to either the Warbonnet Lynx full length 20 degree and the UGQ Ambush. Tell me if you have one of these why you chose it to help me make a decision. Thanks in advance.

    Well....the Lynx is made specifically to fit the ridgeRunner.
    Carry forth.

    Thanks Shug. If I'm understanding correctly so it the UGQ Ambush as well. I'm intrigued by the "extra fill" that is advertised on the UGQ site as well. I wish I could compare them side by side.

    Yes, they are both designed for the ridgerunner. I don't think you can go wrong with either. You can customize the Ambush to your liking though... And for some that makes the choice easy.

    The Lynx comes from the same family if that makes any difference. Brandon makes good stuff.

    you can't go wrong with either imo, if i had to pick one though i would go with paul, he make absolutely fantastic equipment and his customer service is as good as it gets, more customization with his ambush also

    I'm sure anyone would vouch for whichever of these two they own but I love my full length 3 season Lynx. Fits like a glove and so nice and warm.

    I just ordered the Ambush, liked the choice of colors and 1.5 oz more fill.

    Yea, the extra fill is what is drawing me to the Ambush.

    Why don't you contact Brandon and ask if he would overfill your Lynx? Since the accessories page has an "overfill" option, I'm pretty sure he does offer it.

    I have never seen any UGQ gear, but I had the pleasure to see a recently bought Lynx and the fabric is really, REALLY nice! I actually think it's nicer than Argon and HyperD. But that's a matter of taste, obviously.
