meh. Too big.

16 x 16 inches is. HUGE. I guess I didn't quite look at the measurements when I bought this. I have a BA aircore sleeping pad that rolls up smaller than this thing! So yeah, this is NOT for backpacking.
However, I must say that for what it is, it is certainly comfortable. I can't imagine any surface that wouldn't benefit comfort-wise from this giant sit pad.
I originally got this because I like to sit somewhat comfortably and needed something in place of a heavy chair for backpacking purposes. After seeing this thing in rolled and unrolled forms, and realizing it wasn't worth the weight, I ultimately went with the Lite Seat by therm-a-rest, which is super compact, light, and ALMOST as comfortable as this one (though not quite).
So, if you're looking for a huge comfy sit pad then get this baby without further ado. If you're a backpacker looking for a sitting solution: get the lite seat.
