Not good for the field (Army Arctic)
1 year ago
I’m not sure who is using this product but I assure you it’s not military. I used this on two field problems one in the Arctic and one on the the big island of Hawaii. I had to make field repairs….see pic below. I wasn’t sleeping on rock or anything sharp. Thing just didn’t hold up! Now I’m out 175 bucks! I think I’ll go the egg crate mat from now on.

Heavy but luxe for backpacking
1 year ago
This pad has survived several backpacking trips including a 40 mile outing in the Raggeds Wilderness in Colorado. I have the long, and it's a little extra weight but one of the luxuries I allow myself. I'm 6'1 and there's plenty of room to stretch out. The down is noticeably warm. It feels almost like it's heated and it's really nice to have in cold weather. However I've slept on this pad on 75 degree nights and it's still comfortable. There are probably better pads at this price point, but I found it in clearance.
