It makes much more sense to me, but it seems that the people who use the 3/4 pads almost always let their feet hang off.  That's why I always take a full-length Ridgerest: I couldn't decide which way to use the 3/4.  Leslie

I always figured that my torso needed the padding for me to sleep well and my lower legs/feet didn't. Now that assumes that padding is your only concern. If it's cold and your concern is insulation then by all means carry a full length pad.
