Big Agnes Air Core Sleeping Pad
Good PAD overall for Price

I have used the pad three nights on two different outings. All three nights were ~45 degrees. I'm a skinny 150 lb 6' 52 year old man who is cold nature. Pad was good at 45 degrees with a 20 degree rated sleeping bag. While I have read reviews herein that the pad is good down to the 30s ... I would not count on it unless your heavily insulated with body fat. I guess, for me, the leave pad at home tempurature will be around 40 degrees. As for inflation time count on 5 minutes or more. Stuff size never folds back down to size received as there seems to always be a little air left inside to prevent that final fold. Stuffs slightly larger then the nalgene bottle. Moisture was an issue even at 45 degrees. Follow the other review suggestions to rid the moisture. Inflate firm then lay on it and let a little air out unit that sweet spot is sensed and your good for one good nights rest. Good price point.
