The stuff for winter camping
By Sam Reese
Ranked #176 - Lightweight Sleep Pads
September 4, 2009
Why I love it #1: Insulates well against snow #2: Doesn't slide around on snow. Ridges! Yay #3: My shoulders and hips don't bottom out like they do on inflatable pads.Yeah, it's kinda bulky, just strap it on the back of your pack, it's light and won't throw you off balance.
