I bought this for my boyfriend and he loves it. He got the best nights sleep while backpacking. Although it is fairly heavy, it is a good sacrifice for a good nights sleep. The material is very durable (there is a convenient repair kit included just in case). The thickness of the pad also seems to help with staying warm.

The most comfortable pad I have ever slept on. This summer, I spent 72 days on one of these guys and it was the best rest I've ever had in the backcountry. I'm a cold sleeper, and this sleeping pad kept me super cozy. The other reviews that mention the stuff sack being difficult are true; the draw cord on mine ended up breaking after extended use. Nonetheless, the sack holds the pad at about half the size of a Thermarest trail light regular. However, it does weigh 6 ounces more than the trail light. If you like to sleep warm and comfortable and keeping things packed small, this pad is for you. If you're a real stickler about the weight, I'd go with a thermarest. However, I feel that comfort and packability are way worth the extra ounces. Better sleep = better strength and better days.
