Pacific Outdoor Equipment Ether Thermo 6 Sleeping Pad
verdict is out...

Ranked #347 - Midweight Sleep Pads

couple things I don't like - sleeping bag slips all over it if you move around in your sleep alot. It's pretty thick so you slip off it and you notice that you slipped off it. Kinda stinks if everything is not perfectly flat. I like to sleep directly on the pad with the bag unzipped as more of a blanket - the tube construction makes this uncomfortable. and lastly, my dog popped my freinds Ether Thermo pad in it's 2nd season, so I question the durability.
Compared to my 10 year old old 3/4 length thermorest guidelite, I like the guidelite better...it's arguably more durable, lighter, flatter surface, lower, and sorta selfinflating

No problem on durability, when it comes to happen stance issues like dog toe nails, get those babies under control. four years ago POE sleeping pads were ridden down a scree field under a Backpacker Magazine gear test. The POE Pads were the only pads to survive. POE makes products to last and will help fix them free of charge if you pop them. unlike some companies who charge you 10 to 15 bucks to fix a pad, POE does the hard work for free, then send it back on their dime. That is CS at its best. Fabrics have come a long way since 10 years ago, and things have gotten lighter and tougher. Nevertheless, if you are looking to go really light durability is always a compromise. The ETher PAds do not compromise on toughness, and I know POE stands behind their products. Built to last!
