remember waterbeds from the 70s?

By Scott in NYC Ranked #87 - Lightweight Sleep Pads May 9, 2003

This is a mixed review. This product will pack small, so backcountry hikers love it. I hiked 47 miles through Buckskin Gulch in Utah in 4 days. Man was it nice to have less weight. However, if you want comfort, I can only compare this to my sister's waterbed from when I was a kid. You kneel or put your hand on it and it sinks at that point and rises elsewhere. I hate this aspect of it to the point where I never use it when I car camp. I am trying the zrest now, which is awesome for comfort. But it is bulkier. So you decide what you like best. Comfort or bulk.
