Black Mountains Drifter
Great pad
1 year ago
Very pleased with this pad. I've had both hips replaced and I'm a side sleeper - no issues or pain as opposed to my older Thermarest. Recently returned from a 3 day - 2 hike in the Black Mountains of NC and temps the first night were in the low 20's. I was concerned about the R-value in those temps, but we prepped the ground under the tent with pine needles, and if didn't experience cold transfer issues from the ground. There are two reasons I didn't rate the Astro with 5-stars. 1. When removing the Vortex pump sack, it was sketchy to not pull the value all the way out causing rapid deflation. 2. The tri-fold roll-up design was difficult to line up properly on a consistent basis. Both of these things are small issues in my opinion, but worthy to drop one star rating.

Great lightweight backpacking pad

This pad is very comfortable, and light weight. A great choice for backpackers who are looking for ultra-light options. Seems to be very sturdy, have never had any issues with any NEMO pads, and have probably spent 30-40 nights on Astros.

I got this at Thanksgiving so haven't used it yet. But it's light enough and not to hard to put in the stuff sack. I think I will be nice as I am getting older at 66.
