Worth the money.
Super lightweight, setup and teardown is very fast. You will want additional insulation in the winter, but for fall through summer it is sufficient on its own.

This is my third one
This is my third one of these in the last few years. I use it when I'm trying to go light but this new one is for extra insulation this winter. They are just easy to use and pack up which is important with cold fingers! I wish Cascade Designs would make a version that is 25 inches wide. For those of us that sled pack in winter the extra width wouldn't be a problem like it might be on a pack.

This pad is great, lightweight
This pad is great, lightweight and does the job it's intended to do. Don't expect this pad to give the same comfort or insulation as an inflatable pad it's not made to compete with them. It's in a class of its own, very affordable, lightweight and worry free since it is not inflatable. Probably not the best option for quilt systems or cold environments. Design is best for above 40°. This is the KISS of sleeping pads.

Very versatile pad
This is a great foam pad. I typically use this on shorter hikes to limit the gear that I have to carry on longer distances. However, I commonly use this to layer up my sleeping pads when winter camping or to make my sleeping experience that much comfier when car camping. It is also super great as a door mat during winter camping as it helped to not track snow into the main area of the tent. I will definitely be getting the Z Seat given my experience with the pad!

I think what surprised me
I think what surprised me the most is how well I slept on this pad. It is light weight and compactable enough to fit in the original box where it packs to the original size. Even better, I used the opportunity to sleep on at the first night and I was extraordinarily delighted both the first time and every time afterward.

Other use
I cut it in half and use it as a pad to sit on while glassing. It's very light weight and comfortable.
