The prolite is a reliable, durable, high quality pad for backcountry travel. It's weight to performance ratio is superb, and it is my go to pad for expeditions and other excursions where lighter weight but reliable performance is key. This pad has traveled with me for snow camping on colordo 14ers, pakistan's Gasherbrum II, Denali, Aconcagua and elsewhere. I like the pomegrante color as it makes it easier to locate the stuff sac etc when you're sorting and moving gear. Generally seems to take two rounds of rolling up to get it to fit into the nice uberlight stuff sac, and do have to help it along on inflation.
