super comfy, inflates super quick and compresses into an easily carrying roll.
needed to upgrade from a 25+ year old thermarest, so picked this up ahead of a camping/backpacking-heavy spring and summer. first test was over a chilly march weekend - nice insulation from the cold ground! also liked how lightweight it is, and the straps/carrying bag are hella helpful. i'm around 6ft tall and this was the perfect length for me. great sleeping pad!
Little narrow at the bottom, and a little short, but I'm 5'9 and thin so it's perfect. Great pad, like sleeping on my mattress at home, but in the woods.
GREAT FOR CAR CAMPING, EASY TO ROLL AND PUT BACK IN BAG. COMFORT NOT BAD, SIZE GOOD. GOOD QUALITY.
