Therm-a-Rest Z-Lite Sleeping Pad
Great for snow...

I got this as a base for winter camping. One great thing is you can cut a piece of the end (3 sections or so) and now you have a belay seat that will keep your rear end warm and dry, and a nice perch for sitting around melting snow. I may attach a couple strips of velcro to keep the pieces together at night. It is a bit firm for my tastes for just sleeping on hard ground, but when you consider the weight savings and the fact that there is zero possibility of getting a leak in the backcountry, it is well worth every penny (and why carry a belay seat and pad when you can have both).
