Snow Caves

Ranked #138 - Midweight Sleep Pads

I bought the Big Agnes Dual Core, after I spent a very cold night in a snow cave while sleeping on a Thermarest. I needed something that was light yet comfortable and could insulate. The second trip out I had the Dual Core, there was no comparison. I woke up warm and felt well rested. The difference was amazing. I'm 6'3" so it was a little short and narrow but at my size you have to sometimes make do. Overall I would recommend this pad to anyone who is winter camping.
