No more rough nights

Ranked #25 - Midweight Sleep Pads
February 2, 2012
For the first time I have found a sleeping pad I can actually get through the night with no discomfort. I have gone through multiple sleeping pads and would always wake up with my hips sore.
I am impressed it also packs down smaller than other pads I have had, yet it is much thicker once inflated. It also fits back into the stuck sack with ease, were as other pads are a chore to figure out how they fold back up.
My experience with it has kept me warm in 20 degree weather. If it gets colder than that, I have always taken an additional closed cell pad but I may not need it.
I do have a Big Agnes bag for which it was intended to fit, so I cannot say how they work with other sleeping systems. My friend who has the same pad says it works well with his bag which is not a BA. And as for complaints I really have none, it does take awhile to inflate but taking a few minutes to inflate it to ensure great sleep doesn't bother me a bit.
