An ok sleeping pad

Ranked #448 - Lightweight Sleep Pads

This is an ok sleeping pad. Adds an ok amount of cushion when sleeping. It does help with any annoying bumps and ruts on the ground when sleeping, but I would've preferred spending a few more bucks on a self inflating air pad. It is lightweight but does take up a lot of space, cant roll it tightly. It is a tough pad and will hold up to a lot of abuse.
This pad does provide some warmth from the ground. Pair this with a sleeping bag and you should be fine in any temp. It also protects your sleeping bag from packing out. If you need a cheap solution to a sleeping pad, it is better than the cheap blue foam pads, but Id prefer an air pad over this.
