Pacific Outdoor Equipment SL Lite Sleeping Pad - 2009 BCS

I have been using this brand of pad since 2005, and I have used it far more than any other pad I have owned. That being said, the SL Lite is an ultralight pad and probably isn't going to give you the comfort or warmth you get from a bulkier pad "3 season".

My favorite thing about this pad is that it does roll up very small. Also at this price I can afford to replace it almost every season if it gets beat up too bad.

Cons of this pad are that it is too long, for a spring summer pad it doesn't need to be full length. I have cut mine down to 3/4 length and I only carry the bottom piece on cold nights, in which case I put it under my shoulders.

I've used this pad in the Sierras and Banff and on a couple PCT sections.

I really like it.

i think with this pad, you get what you pay for. Its not real thick, so when camping spots were a little rocky-you definitely felt them. But it wasn't too bad, i was wantin something inexpensive cause i can sleep through a hurricane.Sooo, its not the best pad but its tough, light, and cheap. its totally your preference-read a lot of reviews,i'd recommend it if you sleep easy.

This is thin, hard foam. I got this for extra protection, already owning an insulated inflatable pad. It helps keep stuff dry and makes a good floor mat for tents and is extremely light weight.

I bought a different model but is very similar in thickness and design to this pad. I thought it would be excellent because it was lightweight and inexpensive. I'm now shopping for something else. I just got back from deer hunting because I couldn't take another night waking from back pain. I need a new pad before I can go back out for the rest of my hunt. I would go to bed around 9pm and get up around 5:45 am and I still felt tired because I didn't sleep well.
