Big Agnes Air Core Sleeping Pad
Great 3 season pad

While this is the only pad I've ever bought/tried, it more than exceeded my expectations. I found it to be SUPER comfortable, easy to inflate, and even easier to stuff back in its sack (I'm terrible at folding/compressing gear properly). My boyfriend was very jealous watching me sleep on top of this pad, since he was on only 1/4 inch pad, and I didn't find it to be noisy at all. The only negative was that I was very cold while sleeping. The pad is not rated well for warmth at all, and if you're going to be backpacking in 30 degree weather, you'll need some additional covering for it. Even in my 0 degree bag (it was about 25-30 degrees), both the pad and I were freezing. The only reason I was able to stay happy was because of the thickness/comfort of this pad!
