Pros:
Comfortable, Compact Roll Up, Durable Design, Easy To Inflate, Lightweight
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
What Is Your Gear Style:
Comfort Driven
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Was compact, lightweight, and takes up very little space. Seemed to inflate easily. Padding was very good but it is a very small pad and will only cover the low back and shoulder area of an average size person. If you are large, you will not want this mat. Otherwise, it's as advertised.
By Phoenix from Mid-Missouri on 5/29/2008
Pros:
Compact Roll Up, Durable Design, Easy To Inflate, Good insulation, Good padding, Lightweight
Cons:
Slips Easily, Small Size
Best Uses:
Backpacking, Car Camping, Weekend Trips
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
What Is Your Gear Style:
Minimalist
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The pad was cushy and great insulation, but a bit smaller than I expected. That's great 4 packing, but not so great 4 keeping yourself on it. I'm tiny and can't imagine it being of much use to someone bigger, unless it's 4 serious backpacking (since it packs so small and light). Very durable and it's nothing to inflate. Great 4 minimalists, NOT 4 extreme comfort seekers. As a side note, it dries quickly.
By Shannon from Carbondale, CO on 5/29/2008
Pros:
Comfortable, Easy To Inflate, Lightweight
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
What Is Your Gear Style:
Minimalist
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I purchased this sleeping pad before a 5 day self supported off road bicycle tour, so I was definitely counting ounces. I was concerned about comfort when it arrived because it seemed so small - mostly just your shoulders and hips are supported & I thought I might roll off of it too easily. However, it was actually quite comforatable. Where it does support it is very plush & I seemed to stay centered throughout the night. It doesn't pack down super small, but it's very light.
Ultra-Light, Ultra Comfortable
By Backpacking Bug from Hudson, OH on 5/22/2008
Pros:
Comfortable, Compact Roll Up, Durable Design, Easy To Inflate, Lightweight
Best Uses:
Backpacking, Car Camping, Extended Trips, Weekend Trips
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
What Is Your Gear Style:
Minimalist
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought this pad for a 3 night backpacking trip. It is so lightweight and compact! All of my buddies had to attach their bulkier Therma-rest pads to the outside of their packs, but mine fit inside in a neat little sack. I had a little trouble keeping my mummy bag in just the right place, but for the price, weight, and size, this pad is genius. I had no trouble inflating it, and it insulated me from the cold ground. Couldn't be better for backpacking!

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This a GREAT sleeping pad. It made sense to me to buy and use a pad that was ultra light and easy to pack. There is no wasted pad that you body does not utilize. I have had 2 back surgeries and still find it comfortable. My son and I are usually out for a week at a time peak bagging in the Rocky Mountains and find this pad very adequate. Some nights are spent in bivy sacks and this pad works perfect. We even slip it into the sleeping bag and move all the goose down to the top of our bags (baffeless bags) and find it is perfect for this use. Seriously consider this pad. Insulate where you need it! A WINNER!

By unafordable from Wilmington, NC on 5/1/2008
Pros:
Compact Roll Up, Durable Design, Easy To Inflate, Lightweight
Describe Yourself:
Avid Adventurer
What Is Your Gear Style:
Comfort Driven
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I'm comfort driven and that's especially true when it comes to sleeping in the woods. I just could not stay on top of this pad durning the night. I roll about and like to sleep on my side and every time I rolled to the other side, off I came. The next night I took my z-rest seat pad and put it under my shoulders and turned this pad sideways under my hips and slept just fine. As long as I can keep this pad under me, it's very comfortable. And I would think that people that don't move around much when they sleep would be just fine with it. Using it the right way, I had my backpack under my feet. Using it sideways, I still had my backpack under my feet. My feet & legs were fine either way.
Great lightweight alternative

Pros:
Compact Roll Up, Easy To Inflate, Lightweight
Describe Yourself:

What Is Your Gear Style:
Minimalist
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Usually you have to give up some comfort or utility as you shave off ounces with minimalist gear. In this case you do not sacrifice much for a durable lightweight pad. The hour-glass shape takes some getting used to but is not a real issue.
