- Air Sprung Cell technology has 2 layers of high-resolution cells in torso area for max comfort and insulation; 1 layer of medium-resolution cells at head/legs reduces weight
- Air Sprung Cells work like the springs of a pocket-sprung mattress to deliver supreme support and comfort
- 40-denier ripstop nylon offers the right balance between weight and durability; liquid-extruded TPU bonds permanently to shell fabric, virtually eliminating delamination
- Antimicrobial treatment added to the TPU helps prevent mold issues caused by warm, moist air trapped inside the mat
- Multifunction valve for fast and easy inflation, deflation and fine-tuning of air pressure
- Includes an Airstream pump integrated into the base of the stuff sack
- Includes a repair kit containing 6 self-adhesive patches for repairing punctures in the field and a spare silicone one-way valve insert
- For extended storage, the mat should be laid flat, folded as few times as possible with valve open
- This pad has an R-value of 3.7, which makes it best for adventures in cool weather; it provides moderate insulation from ground temperature
- Most sleeping pads we sell range from 1.0 (good for warm weather) to 5.5+ (for use in extreme cold); the higher the R-value, the more insulated the pad

About 1-inch too thin
adventure119 years ago
This sleeping pad is light. It also inflates so easy with just lungpower one does not need to consider packing a pump. However, the pad is too thin, (about 1-inch to thin). If the ground was perfectly smooth I found the pad just barley able to keep me off the ground and if the ground was not smooth I had to over inflate the pad. The over inflation was tolerable but not comfortable for myself. Also, would not suggest for side sleepers

Very comfy and warm, inflation A+, a bit slippery
6 years ago
Spent a number of nights in the mid-20 Fahrenheits on this pad and it's kept me warm. The inflation system attached to the stuff sack is ingenious (breathe into it from further away and you'll be done with 3 breaths, plus top up with mouth, if you like it firm). The only criticism I have is that it's a little slippery, so it slides around the tent floor and it's hard to keep an also slipper pillow on it for the entire night. But to me that was a detail. Light enough for packpacking. I am personally not a big fan of anything in mummy shape, but went for this for weight savings. If weight isn't your concern, go for the rectangular version.

attention side sleepers!

I bought this sleeping pad before my recent backpacking trip to Banff. After hours of sleeping pad research, and analysis paralysis I choose the comfort light insulated, and I am so happy with my purchase. I am a side sleeper, and this pad provided great hip support, and was extremely comfortable. It is not very noisy compared to other pads. I luckily had an exped schnozzle and it works perfectly with the sea to summit valve to pump this pad up in no time. I stayed so warm on this pad at high elevation with lows around 35 degrees in my North face cat's meow 20 degree bag. I am super pleased.

Actually Slept!
9 years ago
I just got back from 4 days and 3 nights in The Enchantments. The longest, most intense trip I've taken, and I slept like a baby, even in the snow. Bought this as a recommendation from the Sea to Summit rep who called it the "Goldilocks of the backpacking world". Awesome. I'm a side sleeper, 5'8 female, 140lbs, and I can't get over how comfortable I was. First trip I've actually slept during. I also love that it folds up small enough to fit in the lower compartment of my Deuter 45+10 with my sleeping bag and Sea to Summit pillow.

Warm at night

I used this on a three week trip last fall in the mountains and with a hammock, I was as comfortable as ever. Except that it would side around, but that's a normal hammock issue and nothing to do with the pad. REI actually sell wings to slip over the pad to prevent hammock sliding. The pad takes less than ten breaths to inflate and the biggest seller for me was the large dump valve that enables me to deflate and pack up (in the included stuff sack) in probably 2 minutes...or less if you don't pack as neat. Great pad, was worth the money.

Worth it
8 years ago
Okay, this is an expensive sleeping pad. But, it's worth it. I've tried others but this was the best I've experienced. It kept me WARM on a cold night (got down to around 40 degrees F) and it is also comfortable. It is NOT noisy when you're moving/turning during the night like some other brands are. Inflates quickly, deflates within seconds. Compacts down. Very light. Overall, a great backpacking product. Why not splurge and ensure you have a great nights sleep so you can enjoy the most of your day out in the back country?

As a backpacking guide, mountaineer, and fitness professional - I choose this pad over all the others. Well worth the high price tag - it has better support than even the most expensive Big Agnes, despite being thinner. The valve system makes blowing it up faster, and deflating it is practically instant.

Comfortable nights sleep
8 years ago
I had a high end sleeping pad but never loved it-it was loud and uncomfortable despite the high ratings. I finally took the plunge and purchased the Sea to Summit pad and have used it on multiple outings. I LOVE it! It pumps up quickly (i bought the inflation bag), it is super comfortable and I didn't need to refill it even on multi-night trips. I'm a side sleeper and slept great all night. We spent one night on snow and even then, I stayed warm and comfy! Totally worth it!

GREAT pad!

We shopped allllll of the sleeping pads for a BP trip on the JMT... Bought them, tested them, returned them and this one is by far the BEST! For weight, size, comfort & R rating. Never leaked any air which obviously is huge! Valve is quick and easy! Don't under estimate this aspect! Being able to dump the air all at once for easy pack up and go is a definite bonus!

Really easy to pack and in/deflate
9 years ago
This pad was extremely easy to inflate, deflate and pack which was a really pleasant surprise. The pad itself was comfortable for the night camping i spent on it in the sub 30* temperature. I would recommend this pad to anybody on the market for an inflatable pad that packs small and light.
