Review by senom Good Features A fine light-weight compact sleeping pad. I have owned the short version for a couple years now, and brought it along at every opportunity. it's kept me comfortable on bare rock and warm on icy ground, and once or twice, when sleeping on a cliff edge it's kept me from rolling off the edge (I slid it inside my bivy so I couldn't roll over)
it's small, lightweight, and to date, hasn't let me down Bad Features Packing down to 11"x4" at first it was hard to find a place to stash it on my pack, though these days it seems to like spending it's days in a water bottle pocket.
it's no secret that warmer self inflating pads are out there, with an R-Value of 3.2 it's definitely not competing in that category. Recommended Alternatives REI Lite-Core 1.5 Self-Inflating Pad

Review by rondo.bauer Good Features An excellent pad for the light and fast crowd and for those that don't enjoy the air tube look/feel of a Big Agnes. Bad Features Too thin and not enough insulation leading to cold spots. I would only recommend for 15 degrees and up. Recommended Alternatives When it came out it was the sleeping pad to have; however now there are better options for your money. The Big Agnes Insulated Air Core is lighter, packs smaller, and is FAR warmer.
Review by Ruze23 Good Features Quite lightweight, which is awesome if you're a minimalist like me. This baby has gone with me sleeping in my car, out on sharp rocks (no punctures thankfully), in the mud, etc. and it has come out splendid! Very cushy for its weight. Bad Features Along with lightweight, I expect small pack size too, and unless you really crank on this sucker, it just cannot get down to 'almost nonexistant' - however, for its padding ability in all terrain I won't trade it in just yet
Review by jspath55 Good Features Light, comfy. Bad Features Obvious puncture risks, color a bit flashy for the woods. Recommended Alternatives I slept on closed cell foam pads for 30-some years, and am now a convert to self-inflating pads: slightly easier to pack, better support. Main downside is expense - many times greater than Simple foam.
Review by climbfast Good Features Light weight comfortable. Compaired to other 1.5 inches mats this one is almost 1/2lb lighter need I say more Bad Features have to buy the stuff sack separate
