Ranked #220 - Midweight Sleep Pads
July 9, 2008
I ordered two Wide/Long pads for my mom and dad and they love them. My parents are in early 50s and a getting into camping again. They needed a sleeping pad that was very comfortable, yet compact enough to fit in their BMW motorcycle compartments. I have a Thermarest Pro Light 3 pad and let them try it, but it was just too small and uncomfortable for them. I personally like my little orange pad, but after laying on one of these babies I know I will have to buy one for myself in the future! These pads took longer to inflate than expected (5 minutes each), but it is worth the effort for a such a comfortable sleep. Durability isn't an issue and both Backcountry.com and Big Agnes stand behind their products. The two wide/long pads fit perfectly in the MSR Elbow Room 3 Tent and make it possible to camp in luxury without adding extra bulk or weight. Highly recommend this product! Backcountry.com is the greatest!
