Big Agnes Insulated Air Core Sleeping Pad - Mummy
Every night I slept better than the night before

I used to squirm when I would think of the long Fall nights sleeping on the ground in the backcountry. I wanted a pad that I could snow camp with, sleep on slabs of cold granite, and comfortably three season backpack with a good weight to comfort ratio. With the Big Agnes REM, I was more comfortable than using a Therm-A-Rest LiteFoam pad. In fact, as my trip went on, I kept getting better nights sleep. Be warned though that you might need to get used to its 2 1/2" thickness as well as putting 25 breathes into it every night. NOTE: Either my scale is off or this pad weighs 4 ounces more than it's supposed to.
