Hi there. Quick note about the BA Insulated Air Core Pads. The maroon side of the pad is the one with the Primaloft insulation. This insulation hangs when the pad is inflated. If you flip the pad over, black side up, the Primaloft insulation lays flat, greatly reducing the insulation. I've used this trick with my pad and it works EXCELLENT on those warmer summer nights.

I was wondering the same thing when I bought mine. After using the Big Agnes Insulated Air Core Sleeping Pad for summer camping in Moab, Ut multiple times, I am psyched! I think the insulation really helps keep your body at a good temperature - but it doesn't generate any noticeable heat from what I can tell. It is great in all temperatures based on my experience - just used it for two nights in Jackson Hole this weekend, and had no comfort or warmth issues - a good thing, considering there was a frost on Friday night!
