UQ length. What's your preference?

Sorry, not home now. I can look this weekend if you want but I'd just call them and ask. I found them really helpful.

Summer I use a 40 degree 3/4 and in the fall and winter 0 or 20 full length. When I have been out in the winter I find the weight is not much compared to being cold. It's easier to carry almost anything after a good night sleep

I've got various 3/4 length under quilts and I've been pleased with them. I have been contemplating a full length for the winter, but haven't been able to justify the extra cost yet.

Thanks for the photos, markr6... had a similar question last year and have still not purchased UQ/TQ. Don't want to screw up such an important piece of gear!

I will try having someone measure me in the hammock. Still thinking I can get away with a 3/4 (or maybe short full-length?) and no pad.

You're welcome. The 3/4 I have may be a wasted $200 for me, but I'm keeping it this time. I'm really happy with the short-full length, but there may be a few times where the 3/4 makes an appearance. I just don't like warm weather so full lengths always make more sense for me.

If you don't mind burning up $20 or so, I'd recommend buying both and trying them. Sell one, keep one.

Full length for me, I had a 3/4 Jarbidge and sold it

Mr. Out and Back, Do you know if you add more for a hammock with a foot box, like say the XLC? I am eyeballing a loco libre and they have customizable lengths. . .

I have tried a few different UQs. I will only use afull length quilt. I found the shorter quilts to be less comfortable for my needs. Also for my needs I will go with a 20F or lower. I would vent if too warm.
