Good ol American ingenuity at work here. No sliding off the pad in the middle of the night. (Where is there a level piece of ground out on the trail?). I have the air mattress from 3 years ago, and I think the temp rating on the new one is better than the one I have. My first experience in cold weather was, shall I say, COLD! Next trip I brought an emergency space bag and slid the mattress into it. Man, that did the trick! The space bag is only a few ounces, but it sure keeps the heat in. I have the long version, and it is really too big for me (I'm 6 ft.) It does take a little time to warm up that much space inside. The weight is a little more than I like for long backpacking trips, especially with the air mattress. Probably best for an occasional overnighter where weight isn't so critical. Very comfy bag. Well made, zippers are great, ready for years of camping.
