Big Agnes Air Core Sleeping Pad
Cascade Designs should take a lesson.

So, basically this pad is the equivalent of the overrated Therm-a-rest Neoair, only without the "reflective surface" heat barrier. However, the aircore is $100 less, it actually comes with a stuff sack AND it comes with a repair kit which fits into its own compartment of the stuff sack. Also, this pad actually holds air, unlike the neoair. At $50, this 2.5" thick pad is comfy, light, affordable, and packs down nice and small. Very good piece of gear. I highly recommend.
