    Comments about Big Agnes Air Core Pad - Long:

    The REM Air Core pads integrate into the Big Agnes sleeping bags but also work just fine on their own just like any other pad. This is the uninsulated version which is a little lighter than the insulated one but is fine down to around 50 deg. or so, I would think. This packs down to about the size of a 1 lb. bag of coffee yet I found it to be a very comfortable night's sleep.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about Big Agnes Air Core Pad - Long:

    This is a pretty ingenious product, but I feel it falls short of its goals. I use it with my Big Agnes Farwell bag and it works really well.....except for the noise. I'm a tosser/turner when sleeping and every time I move, it squeaks loud enough to not only wake me, but to wake my tent mate as well. If you are a sound sleeper, definitely recommended. Its light, compact and pretty comfortable, just noisy.

    Comments about Big Agnes Air Core Pad - Long:

    My wife and I bought two of these. We're both "toss and turn" sleepers and she fell off hers twice in one short evening. They were loud when you moved on them and tended to wake us up. If you're a heavy sleeper, this won't be a problem.
    Did like that they folded up very compactly, were light weight, but we discovered the weight savings didn't compensate for a good nights sleep. Underinflated, we felt pressure points all night. Overinflated was a slippery experience and not so comfy.
    We both agreed that this would be suitable for heavy sleepers, those who don't toss around, and makes a wonderful pool lounge.

    Comments about Big Agnes Air Core Pad - Long:

    I loved my Big Agnes pad, but after a couple years of use I noticed that by morning I was sleeping on a decidedly deflated pad. I tried finding the leak, and eventually determined that it was leaking a tiny bit from, well, everywhere. I think that the fabric had just stopped working to hold the air in.

    The mattress is comfortable, but always seemed a bit hard to inflate. Now that I have a P.O.E. Therma 6 pad to compare it to, the Big Agnes was harder to inflate.

    Still a good pad, and I got 2-3 years of good use out of it, so no major complaints. I do think it should have lasted a little longer though. I said I wouldn't recommend it to a friend merely because I like my P.O.E. pad better and would recommend it instead.

    Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Comments about Big Agnes Air Core Pad - Long:

    my girlfriend and i just got these pads and the matching 15 degree big agnes bags (encampment and lulu). We use these pads without the sleeping bags once and they did great! the only problem we saw was that we kept slipping in the crack of the two pads in the middle of the night. our new bags zip together and have slots for the pads so its perfect now!

    the only problem i see is that after blowing two of these pads up you need a 5 minute breather. well worth a good nights sleep tho!

    Comments about Big Agnes Air Core Pad - Long:

    This is a great pad, for what it is. What is it? Uninsulated, that's what. This was my first uninsulated pad and I was really surprised at how cold they are. Really surprised. I'm a cold sleeper anyway but I was surprised to find myself having a difficult time keeping warm on a 35 degree night in a -5 down bag inside a tent!

    Anyway, it's superlight, super compact, and I left mine blown up on a two week elk hunting trip in the Cascades and it didn't lose a bit of air. I found it to be most comfy just slightly full enough to keep my butt off of the ground.

    Note to self: bring additional foam pad next time!

    Very Comfortable, A Little Cool

    Comments about Big Agnes Air Core Pad - Long:

    I have had this for a couple of years now and love the comfortable nights it has given me. I have used it on weekend backpacking trips to week long outdoor stays. The comfort is amazing and I've had no problems with leaks. My only complaints are that it can take a bit to blow up and it tends to be slippery. Although I just bought a Big Agnes sleeping bag which it slips into and that should solve the problem. Also it tends to be a bit cool since it has no insulation. I would recomend bringing a thin foam pad for some extra insulation on any night cooler then 45 degrees or a really warm bag.
