    So, the Gossamer pad is only 59 inches long (about 5 feet).

    I'm over 6 foot, will it be enough coverage? (Never slept overnight in a hammock, hence, never used under insulation.)

    Is there a longer (and still wide) option?

    You can find longer pads but a longer length may not be necessary. I (most of us?) sleep with my shoulders on the pad and my head off...relying on clothing or 'something' to fashion a pillow. That effectively extends the length of the pad up to a foot. Likewise, 'something' under the feet helps make do without a longer pad.

    YMMV. It all depends on what you find comfortable, convenient, cheap, etc....
