Not sure what that one star review is talking about. I was able to roll up both the pad and air fill sack together and put back in the storage bag with ease. Will it up tight. I sleep so well. Super comfortable. I think it’s the combination of the vertical baffles, insulation layer, thickness, and width that make it perfect for me. Could not be happier. Im a bigger guy so i went with the 25" wife.
I agree that the sack was made with minimal real-world testing — it’s way too small for the sleeping pad it’s supposed to fit. At the campsite it’s basically unusable, and I spent more time wrestling the sack than setting up my tent.
Seems like a nice enough mattress, but two things let it down BIG TIME and why I returned it. 1.The storage bag is _just_ too small to be useful. I could barely get it stowed at the house after folding it on a 6' table, let along standing up as I would in the field, something I routinely do with my Exped in Amok Dramur hammock. Would an extra 3/4" of bag material be all that difficult? 2. The inflation bag is too small!
This pad should be called a mattress I'm 175 lbs. and 5'9" and this pad is great. I've never been able to bottom this pad out (feeling the ground while laying on my side) or find myself falling off, the barrels on the side of the pad provide some guard rails while turn during the night.
Got it on a nice sale a bit ago and honestly it’s been great. Weird that I can’t seem to find anything else about this pad other than here but it has been very comfortable either way.
