Sad to say this is the worst Closed Cell mat ever.
I have had many closed cell mats in my travels I still carry a Nemo-Switchback and Therm-a-rest-Z Lite which work beyond great. I bought this 60% Sugar Cane Twistercane mat hoping it would be amazing since it's a Big Agnes Product. I was beyond wrong. Not only is it beyond uncomfortable it also slides around in my tent making me feel like I'm sleeping in a Slip N Slide.
Great light sleeping pad
Packs small and amazingly comfortable for how thick it is. Didn't get hot or cold on it.
Wherever You May Foam
Last year, on a winter backpacking trip where temperatures dropped into the teens, I used my insulated Air Core Ultra mattress by itself. Unfortunately, I could feel the cold creep in underneath me a little more than expected. This year, after adding the TwisterCain Bio Foam to my kit, the problem was fixed. I should also add that on this year's trip, temperatures dropped below zero and I was still comfortable and insulated from the ground. For anyone going to ground in freezing temperatures, the TwisterCane Bio Foam is a smart investment. Also, the regular size incorporates nicely into the Big Agnes sleep system sleeve, which keeps the mattress and pad together while you sleep.
Too delicate
The mat is unfortunately too delicate. Mine has only been used for 10 minutes of daily breathing exercises indoors so far and it had started too delaminate. I am expecting to leave a trail of foam debris once I actually take it outside. Not recommended.
Another great product from Big Agnes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got the twistercane bio foam sleeping pad a while back and have used it a number of times now and it is simply great!! Keeps you so warm at night and is super lightweight. I've normally been someone to use an inflatable pad, but camping with two small kids has proven fatal for a number of our inflatable pads. Our kids can be as rough and rugged as they want in the tent and with these pads and I know I'll still get a great and warm night sleep. Just another great product from Big Agnes!!! Our family has loved everything we've tried from BA! #sweepstakes
Great on the back
This mat is great.... I swear I won't sleep without it..... probably not going to last you a lifetime because of what its made from but in the mean time its the best mat out....
camp pad for Sammy Dog.
I carry this pad for doggo and as a camp seat for me. Works perfect for that. I prefer the non accordion style, I roll it loosely and put it inside my pack horizontally and place items inside it, this adds padding to my pack and avoids a bulky pad strapped to the outside of my pack. All and All good buy.
Golden Retriever's Favorite Sleeping Pad
My golden retriever loves this pad when he goes backpacking. It is perfect for a big dog and you don't have to worry about claws puncturing it. It keeps him warm and comfortable at night in the sierras.
Perfect for yoga in the forest
Great yoga mat when I'm backpacking. I use air chamber to sleep on, but bring this for exercising in the woods when no one is looking
Excellent product, it lasted me years
It's been more than 5 years since I bought it and I love it, I use it daily at home to relax and when we go out
