Advice for summer quilts

Is there a specific height of an individual were a 3/4 just isn't sufficient enough even with the foot pad?

Well you'd have to look at the actual numbers involved because "3/4" is an ambiguous term, and the geometry of deployment, which is maximum utilization of diagonal measurement by skewing the fit (tug primary suspension down on the foot side, up on head side) for more coverage. My 72" Incubators are long enough for me that I don't even have to skew them for complete coverage.

EE sells its Revolt UQs in 45-55-65 inch lengths. I'm 5'9" and have a 55" 20deg Revolt and when it is set up properly the coverage is actually pretty good... a 65" would be practically a full for me.

I had this exact dilemma when I just ordered my summer quilt. I live in Ontario so summer nights can be warm and muggy. However I camp all year round so I wanted something that would take me into the spring and fall, and something I could layer with my winter quilt (not yet purchased) for deep winter use. I opted for the 30 degree quilt figuring I can easily vent if needed. I usually start the night off warm but even in the summer by 3 am I am chilled....I figure the 30 will give me more flexibility for the seasons I camp in most...
