    I use an REI lite core - it keeps my feet toasty and it feels great to prop my dogs up on it after a long day walking. Also, it packs down right small.

    i see where you're coming from hobie. i have to keep mine in my topquilt b/c i shift positions throughout the night. that and i don't always use a double layer hammock. to me the OP was just asking for a good way to go about it. i chose the simpliest, lightest, and least expensive option. you're right though that there are dozens of configurations...

    I've carried the same square of cut-up "ridgerest" pad as a sit pad for years, even in my pre-hanging days. It's really nice to have something besides the muddy ground to sit on. I've used it as a footpad but always am concerned about getting my hammock and sleeping bag dirty. Anyone got any good solutions for that?

    It's rare that I need to use one since my legs hardly ever get cold. When I do though I use the foam insert back pad that came with my ULA Ohm. For me it is the perfect length and width.

    Darn trip,

    I have never thought of that. I use an ohm but ordered a gg torsolite...I bet your idea could have saved me 16 dollars and 3 ozs.

    I have carried a small ....12"x14" piece of 3ml plastic. Stick that under my sit pad. Have had that plastic in my pack for 16 years. Set my pack on it ....pile clothes on it......

    I've been stuffing my spare clothes in either my pack lid or a spare stuff sack inside my bag as a pillow for my feet and it worked great even in 20 degree weather (using a AHE Flamethrower under me)

    I use a cut down piece of Thermarest ridge rest closed cell pad. It doubles as the back pad in my REI flash60 hat I gutted to make it framless. It is very small maybe 14x14 in.
