This sleeping pad is okay if you do not have a lot of room in your pack like me (I have a ghost 3100). But if you have a little more room I would strongly reccomend the therm a rest prolite three, it costs a little more but it's worth it. This pad feels like a beach inflatable (and you have to blow it up like one too) and is not very comfortable and I am always worried about popping it because the material does not seem very strong, small package though.

I can easily fit this pad *into* a Nalgene bottle, no problem. I fold it into 4ths lengthwise before rolling it... So, I think the key to making it small is knowing how to fold/roll it - experiment to find what works best for you. It's actually one of the smallest sleeping pads on the market! As for durability, I've had mine for more than 7 years and just this summer developed a tiny leak somewhere. In my experience, it's far more durable than any of the Therm-a-rest self-inflaters, and more importantly, a lot more comfortable. It's also a LOT more durable than a beach inflatable (I've tried those too). The 70 denier nylon is very tough and can withstand branches, roots, rocks, etc. with ease.
