Comments about REI Trekker 1.75 Self-Inflating Pad:
My son took this on his week long school camping trip to west Texas earlier this spring. He could say enough about how the REI Trekker 1.75 Self-Inflating Pad saved his back. He had no problems packing and unpacking it up when they moved campsites. Because of his experience with the pad, I plan on purchasing another 2 before our next camping trip for my other son and myself. It's just the right size for our trips.

Comments about REI Trekker 1.75 Self-Inflating Pad:
I wouldn't really say this "self inflates." It naturally pulls in a little air but you definitely have to blow into the valve to get it full and firmer. It's pretty comfortable given how thin it is. It is very good at shielding you from the cold ground. It's not really tough to repack but if you need to get it as compact as possibly, it takes a bit of effort and practice.

Comments about REI Trekker 1.75 Self-Inflating Pad:
Enough cushioning to keep me warm and dry, which has made nights in the mountains and on the beach a whole lot more comfy. No slipping either! It packs small enough for me (glad for the shorter length, not needing a pad under my feet) and it inflates intuitively and quickly (read: in the dark).
Liked it so much, I gave one to my sweetheart as a birthday present.
No complaints!

Comments about REI Trekker 1.75 Self-Inflating Pad:
I am afriad my review falls short of being thorouh. I recieved this as a gift from my wife and I did return it immediately upon seeing it's girth and feeling it's weight. Too heavy for backpacking @ 2.8 lbs! I am going instead with an aluminum blanket and foam pad that weighs approx 1lb.

Comments about REI Trekker 1.75 Self-Inflating Pad:
This pad is so narrow that I continually found myself waking up during the night because I had partly rolled off of it onto the hard/ cold ground. (For context: I am an avg. athletic/ fit young woman). When I first laid down I thought it was great... but after three camping trips with the same frustrating experience, I am returning it.
Besides the narrowness, it would be very comfortable, though I don't know how it is alone as I always used a fold-up egg-crate-style foam pad underneath for extra comfort/ protection from rocks etc.
But since I'd love it if only it were wider, I am going to try either the 2.5 or 3.5 inch-thick version, which both are available in 25" or even 29" wide... 5 or 9 more inches would make a big difference I think.
I also used this to sleepover at a friend's house in place of a regular air mattress. Again, would've been great but for the issue described - very restless night as a result.

Comments about REI Trekker 1.75 Self-Inflating Pad:
Just carried this on a 10 day Philmont trek. The pad was comfortable and durable. My only regreet was its size - it didn't pack small enough to go inside my pack. I experimented with various pack locations before ultimately strapping it to the top of the pack. A good product, and I was willing to trade the extra comfort for the extra packed size.

Good little sleeping pad, nice and thick without being bulky. I woke up on it one morning and it was soft, but REI took it back and replaced it no problem.

Comments about REI Trekker 1.75 Self-Inflating Pad:
This sleeping pad was a last-minute addition to my gear before a backpacking trip through Crater Lake National Park in Oregon at the start of July. I wasn't ready to spring for the most expensive sleeping pad, but I needed one to do the job right. I saw this one on sale and I'm SO glad I got it! I've long used my hammock and plenty of layering to sleep off the ground, but this sleeping pad was the perfect addition to my gear so that I could sleep comfortably, just a couple of feet from a snow drift in an old 0-degree synthetic sleeping bag. I was on a slight incline so my sleeping bag slid off the pad just a bit during the night and it was bulky enough to bounce around on the outside of my pack, but all in all, I think it's a great buy. It seems very durable and it kept me plenty warm off the ground on a 30-some degree night in the open. Probably not right at the top of the line but it certainly seems to do the job very well! I would absolutely recommend it unless you are positively unwilling to carry something just slightly larger than the competition.

Comments about REI Trekker 1.75 Self-Inflating Pad:
I just picked one up this weekend and used it on a camping/fishing trip. After using a hard foam pad this sleeping pad was like sleeping on a cloud. I sleep on my shoulders mainly and it still felt great. My only complaint is that it wasn't as wide as I was hoping. I just had to keep making sure I was on. But other then that it was money well spent.

Comments about REI Trekker 1.75 Self-Inflating Pad:
After a nice long hike, I'll definitely trade some ounces for a comfortable night's rest. And, this pack did just that. And, really, it's not that heavy. I did have a Big Agnes Insulated pad, but to me it was not nearly as comfortable as this pad. Lying on the Big Agnes reminded me of a swimming pool mattress. I'll take this pad wherever I go and I'm confident I'll sleep on a nice, warm, comfy, pad.
