I bought the air core pad this spring mostly because I had picked up a BA Encampment and knew I wanted a pad that integrated into the pad sleeve of the sleeping bag. I took it on a 3 day backpacking trip up the Escalante in Utah in May. In the previous January I was in an accident in which I separated my pelvis in multiple places, and snapped my humerus in my arm like a twig. Needless to say, I was nervous about being in pain all night. This pad is so comfortable I slept almost as well as I had been sleeping at home on my own bed! Great sleep pad. I am a little taller, 6'2", and used the regular sized sleeping bag and pad. They were just a little short for me, So I just bought the same pad and sleeping bag in long, I am so confident in the system. Thanks Backcountry, BA!
