Therm-a-Rest Ridge Rest Deluxe Sleeping Pad
Bulky & Comfortable

Ranked #63 - Lightweight Sleep Pads

I'm a mountaineer and I beat the hell out of my gear. this piece is no exception.
Pros: comfortable, warm, big enough that you don't have to worry about rolling off, lightweight, durable.
Cons: very bulky - has to be strapped to the outside of your pack - a friend of mine had his ripped off his pack by wind on an alpine ascent - he blamed the pad for being too big - I told him he should learn how to tie stuff to his pack.
I trimmed mine down so it fits inside my bivy and doesn't catch on rock and overhanging ice as im climbing.
It does the job it's designed to do - there's no excuse for being surprised at the size when it's listed under specs...
