The most comfortable pad I could ask for, BUT...

This thing is amazing for sleeping and I am certainly the envy of the tent, but I think it is too big to take on serious backpacking and ski touring trips. Even though it rolls up super small, it is a pain to pack up into the bag sometimes and much harder to inflate compared to the thermarest inflatables. I use this when sleeping at a friends, on the floor of a cabin, or in the back of my Toyota and I bring the thermarest into the woods.
If you don't mind the long inflation time and want the extra comfort, though, this thing is perfect.
