ok this may be a totally sexist question and who knows what people will think. So what is the difference between the male and female version? The insulation rating for the female is like 1. higher which might make it worth while for this masculine guy to sleep on one

The fit of the women's version of the prolite plus is tailored to have narrower room in the shoulder area and more room in the hips, whereas the regular prolite plus (men's version, if you will) is wider in the shoulders then tapers down towards the feet. It also seems that the pad, like women's sleeping bags, is built with more insulation because, in general, women seem to be cooler sleepers than men. Not always true though, as my wife is a warmer sleeper than I.
