Big Agnes Air Core Sleeping Pad
Sticks and stones won't break your bones!

Ranked #363 - Lightweight Sleep Pads

The BA Air Core pad adds light-weight luxury to backpacking! We paired ours with Big Agnes bags (which have sleeves for the pads) and slept as soundly in our tent as we do at home. The pads are thick enough that you don't feel the ground/rocks at all, durable, and really easy to pack up. Our friends, who all had Thermarests, complained of sore backs and stiff joints every morning, while we were well rested and pain free. The only bit I wasn't thrilled with was the amount of time/effort it took to blow them up, but I still think they're worth five stars! An additional point worth mentioning...we also paired our pads with the Big Agnes Big Easy Chair Kits, and wow! were they awesome!! :)
