Therm-a-Rest Ridge Rest SOLite Sleeping Pad
It is what it is

A lot of reviewers below complained about this pad. It's a $25 sleeping mat. For $25, it does what it was designed to do: act as a basic-functioning sleeping mat. Thermarests and other "nice" pads are expensive because they perform much better. Also, the ridgerest is not a good choice for direct contact with snow because the ridges will actually pick up the snow, making it hard to knock all the snow off with the end result of additional weight.
