Any short hangers using a full length underquilt?

[hutzelbein]

I'm 5'4" and use a full-length underquilt (73"). Since I sleep very cold, I will probably always carry one - even on a thru-hike. While carrying more weight sucks, it sucks even more to not sleep well because you're constantly feeling cold...

This answers another thing I'd been pondering lately.

(So I asked this somewhere else but...) most folks really use a foot pad? Huh.

I'm 5'9" and have a 3/4 length and a 7/8 length winter underquilt. The 7/8 is perfect for me for full coverage. I tried using a reflectix pad in the footbox with my 3/4 length one and I ended up with a wet footbox in my top quilt. I guess my feet just put off too much moisture.

JRB Greylock UQ are longer than most torso lengths... At 56 Inches, when positions at the natural hair line on one end will cover the feet for folk up to 5-5 or 5-6.

I almost have enough quarters saved!!

Thanks for the confirmation everyone. I figured I would be just fine with a 3/4. I just wanted some real world confirmation.

To answer the questions though, I mostly do backpacking. I also take a RidgeRest pad just in case I have to go to the ground for whatever reason and for a place to sit. It's also my warm weather "UQ". I haven't used it often enough for it to be a pain yet. It doesn't seem to move around too much on me.

I've been researching underquilts lately and it seems that a 3/4 length would be plenty for me. I'm 5'4"; of course taking up even less length sleeping on a diagonal. Would a full length UQ be excessive length/weight?

I was just wondering what benefits, if any, there are with a full-length UQ before I pull the trigger on a 3/4.

I'm 5 2 went with winternest. I'm not Ultra light, but I liked it full and I added 2 Oz extra fill. Still is lighter than a tent. I do plan on some serious winter outings.

I like my "full-length" UQ. It is shorter than standard at around 73 inches. No foot pad needed and it has less affect on the lie of my hammock. That said, I also use a 2/3 Yeti UQ. I have found the 3/4 UQ to be problematic for me. I am 5 feet tall and the way I lay has a tendency to push down the end of the quilt and create an air gap. I then have to reposition my feet to eliminated the gap and warm back up. The 2/3 length does not cause that issue. So, for me it is either a full length or a 2/3 length.
