Great Pad!
Yes , I recommend this product
I took this pad on an overnight trip in Big Sur and was seriously impressed. It packs down incredibly small but is still super comfortable. After a long hiking day, having a wider and stable sleeping surface made a huge difference. It’s easy to inflate, lightweight, and feels very well built. A great option for long-distance backpackers who care about both comfort and weight.

Good ultralight pad
Used this pad in the mid 40's and was not cold. I like it way better than Thermarest and any other horizontal baffled pads, but not as much as the updated Ether Light pads. I still bottomed out a few times on this pad, especially when on my side. It is not a super noisy pad, but does make some noise, nothing like the first Ether Light though, that is a noisy pad! Overall, I would use this pad if size and weight were my main concerns. Sea to Summit sent me a small and a large pad to test out.

Decent lightweight pad
It’s a decent pad, but not revolutionary. I like the price, weight, durability, width, and quietness, but I don’t know how well it would work for a heavier person. It bottoms out pretty easily as it's only 2.6" thick. The dimpled baffles feel comfortable when you’re lying flat on it, but it just feels super thin and bottoms out if you put a point load on it. I'd have preferred that they sacrifice a bit of durability by going from 40d on the bottom to 30d and increasing the thickness to 3". I think it could be a great pad with a little more height.

It gets the job done 💪
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I took this bad boy camping in washington state in february. Boy was it cold outside, but at night this pad kept me so warm! Paired it with a sea to summit UL air pillow, and my rei sleeping bag (i could use an upgrade😉) I loved how small it packed up and the color is also something to behold. But all in all it held up great, we camped for a 3 nighter, and i had no complaints. Can’t wait to use it some more!! Bikepacking trips are in the near future and i know what pad i’m taking along!
