This is an awesome pad, I thought it was pretty comfortable, very warm and solid construction with separate valves made it easy to inflate and deflate. Unfortunately I hadn’t tried vertical baffles and I woke up 2 hrs with some back pain and uncomfortable, however I do not think this takes away from the sleep pad and I still give it a 5/5 because I think everyone should know what type of pad is best for them and if vertical baffles work for you this is probably near end game
