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.

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. |

I have the older version of this pad, but it is a good 4/4 length pad. That packs up pretty small. |
