Big Agnes Insulated Air Core Sleeping Pad - Mummy

Item #BAG0124 | 123 in Stock

I don't have a question but rather an answer as I wasn't...

I don't have a question but rather an answer as I wasn't sure what the R value 4.1 was exactly, it's 15 degrees Fahrenheit so your body heat won't be sapped away like traditional pads. I'm surprised no ones asked that, so now I guess no one has to. :)

You're exactly right. Air is the best insulator against cold especially when laying on the ground. This is the same principle on why down works as well as it does. The pods trap air & therefore insulates the body against cold.
