I never used a sleeping pad, I bought The North Face Dark Star, and I am looking for a pad that keep me confortable and warm.
My question is:
Do the pads go inside the sleeping bag? I always thought that they go outside, under the sleeping bag. But after reading the first review, I understand that it goes inside. Could you confirm?, I am 1.90 meters tall, and my Sleep bag, is size long. Thank you.

I can understand your confusion. You are correct; typically, sleeping pads do go *under* the sleeping bag. However, Big Agnes (the maker of this pad) has a system where the underside of their sleeping bags have a separate sleeve into which you slip the pad (you don't actually put the pad into the main compartment of the bag). With this system, you don't roll off of your pad. Also, since the pad is attached to the bag when slipped in the sleeve, they don't put insulation on the underside of the bag, decreasing the weight and packed size of the bag. However, this pad will also work with/under regular sleeping bags, although the mummy shape could be a little narrow for some people. In this pad (for you) I would definitely get the long if you were going to buy one.
