"a classic--great for beginners" - Review of Therm-a-Rest Ridge Rest Deluxe Sleeping Pad

This was the first sleeping pad I ever bought and it continues to be a key part of my gear closet. The Ridge Rest is super lightweight, is easy to pack (In the cavernous backpack I surround the inside with the ridge rest to have the pack keep shape), and has come in handy with an Achilles injury (just cut off a corner for a heel lift!) I have finally purchased an inflatable, but they work together to make a pad system, not one or the other. This pad is super affordable, even though it isn't quite as luxurious as an inflatable--it does the job for a third of the price.
