For those using pads to warm your legs with 3/4 length UQ. What pad do you use?

My first weekend with my 3/4" UQ was this weekend and the reflectix inwasnusing did the job but slid around causing cold spot under my calves.

Just looking for what type of pad others are using.

I use a Thremarest sit-pad inside the footbox of my TQ. No shifting.

What do you use from ankles to knees area? Seems like that is what got cool on me.

Here is my hang. All secure in sector 7!

Do you have snaps or ties on your top quilt to allow you to close it under your legs? Should be closed or at least tucked under you until over the UQ.

I use the same pad as Shug. About 14" square. Back side of it is slightly tacky so it doesn't slide around.

I don't use anything there. Never feel the cold there.

At 5'10", I'm lucky enough that my HG Phoenix reaches from shoulders to ankle, only need a short CCF pad (plus a pillow for my head).

Thanks fellas for the info. I have snaps in my TQ but I have to vent feet more than most as I tend to get hot there first.

I'll dial it all in I'm sure. I'm gigging the hammock!!

i use a 1/8" foot pad from AHE. I like it and it does a good job, is super light weight, but it can fold up and slide on you during the night if you move alot. It also doubles as a sit pad when it camp or hiking. I have been thinking about trying the Thermarest mentioned above.
Sticking your head inside your quilt on day 4 of a hike to re-position and unfold a foot-pad is not a fun experience....
