Therm-a-Rest Prolite Sleeping Pad
Doesn't Blow

That's right, the pad doesn't blow, and niether do you. There's nothing worse than a long day on the trail, only to finish it up by having to blow up your sleeping pad. I've used this pad for a lot of nights on the AT, it's light, packs down small, and all I have to do at the end of the day is unroll it and make sure the valve is open. By the time I'm done making dinner I can close up the valve and this pad is ready to go.
It's not as comfy as some of the inflatable pads, but for a minimalist that doesn't feel like blowing hot air at the end of the day this pad is for you.
4 stars and shame on thermarest for making me buy the stuff sack seperately.
