super comfy, light, easy, for warm weather
Yes , I recommend this product
I used this for a two night camping trip and was very happy with how comfortable the pad was, the pod-design allowed the pad to contour to my body in multiple positions. It was easy to inflate and did not deflate or need a top up of air after two nights of use. It is not insulated, which is fine for me since I live and camp in the southern US and have a warm sleeping bag.

Don't buy
No, I do not recommend this product
This sleeping pad only lasted about 5 days and then wouldn't hold air. There were no visible punctures or tears that I could fix on the trail. Once home I discovered dozens of tiny holes when I submerged it under water. The return department denied my claim and sent me back the defective pad. I am beyond disappointed with the product and the support from REI. A pad like this should last many trips and it didn't even last one. I have other pads for a decade before they were unfixable.

It is a thin pad! No R value, so warm weather only. Great packed size and easy to inflate and roll-back up, fantastic for a beginner backpacker. After about 12 nights of use it struggles to hold air through the night. Decently comfy for what it is. Overall, I bought this for backpacking and I got it on sale for $59 and it was worth that price tag.

Mushy middle
It's just not a very good pad. I was tossing and turning all night every time I used it, and to add insult to injury, it's very loud. I considered becoming a hammock camper because I thought I just didn't sleep well when camping, but it was truly just the pad. The problem is really that it's in the mushy middle between a closed cell pad that's cheap and light and a truly effective inflatable pad. Either save some money or spend enough to get the right thing. This isn't it.

Yes , I recommend this product
I wasn’t sure what to expect with this. Have a few thermarest and found this to be exceedingly the standard. Lightest pad I have, fast fill up with less than 8-10 breaths, easy exhaust to tightly role. I’ve slept on it for 6 or 7 nights and it’s great.
