Awesome to find a closed cell pad this thick, it is the thickest i could find ANYWHERE that is in this style. Something that is needed more of. The "normal" thickness ones are just too thin for me, but i wanted a reliable fail safe and this is it. The only thing i hate, the bright orange color. I for one do NOT want to stand out like a sore thumb in the wilderness, i like earth and green tones. so this is a bummer. luckily the other side is dark green. I would even like to see a thicker one more like 1.5in, but glad they made this one.
As someone preferring durability over the modern inflatable pad trends, I find this a great fit. I got the long wide model which should be the default in my opinion. Much thicker than other pads (keep that in mind for clipping to your pack), comfortable (I’m 5’11, 175 pounds), and warm.
