By Mulanje from Greenville, SC on 10/19/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Durable Design, Easy To Inflate, Lightweight, Non Slip Best Uses: Backpacking, Car Camping, Extended Trips, Weekend Trips Describe Yourself: Outdoor Professional What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have used this product in extended trips including backpacking and sea kayaking. It is tough and doesn't slip around when resting on it. If you like a firmer base you have to help blow it up a little but it doesn't take very long.
Could have been designed to roll up a little smaller, i.e. less long.
Pretty good bang for the buck! By Matt the Californian from Alameda, CA on 08/14/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Durable Design, Easy To Inflate, Good value, No sliding in the tent Best Uses: Backpacking, Car Camping, Extended Trips, Weekend Trips Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought this pad and have used it now on a few outings. This is the first of its kind that I've used much; I've had a Thermarest RidgeRest pad for a long time with great success. But as one gets older, you need a little more cushin! And so far, this new one has proven to be a nice pad.Therma is usually recognized as the industry standard in this field of pad types, but I see no significant difference between this one from Alps....well, except for the fact that Therma makes you buy the stuff sack extra, whereas Alps does not.Many of the other reviews knock the bulk....but what do you expect from a 'value' pad line like this? Therma has the same issues. But if you compare this line to the Therma TrailLite series, you won't notice all that much difference. Same packing size (in the 20x72x1.5 pad), and only about 6 or 7 oz heavier (when you factor in the stuff sack). Not a lot of difference.It still doesn't quite offer the kind of comfort I need, though the problem is not the pad. I just need more. Fortunately, my wife really likes it...and I'm going to just have to pony up and buy a 3 1/2 inch Exped pad for 100-bucks.
good product for the price By Brown Eyed Girl from Dalton, GA on 08/14/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Lightweight, Non Slip Best Uses: Backpacking, Car Camping, Weekend Trips Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The pad takes about 4 minutes to completely inflate, and I had to knead it to work the air into all the pockets, but it's worth the wait. It isn't heavy but is bulkier than some other pads I've seen.
