As Advertised

I loved the concept of the compression inflation bag, and the rapid decompression. Nice and thick mattress. The only qualm is the loss of heat, at 45 degrees or cooler. I may have to put an additional emergency reflective blanket underneath to reflect more heat into the mattress. Just not as good as the zero degree pad I bought 16 years ago...but then I knew this was going to be the case when I bought it.

Great For Side Sleepers

Pad lasted half a thru-hike, two bike tours, and a couple weeks off-grid in a tent before developing its first leak. Which is pretty durable by inflatable standards. The best part is the warranty replaced it with a new one to keep going. Next time I would go with the 5 inch wider one for more space, the skinny one is comfy sleeping on the slides but the larger side air chambers aren't comfortable if you roll into your back. A wider version would likely solve that.

Just Right

We pack in the Backcountry with goats, so we like to live in comfort back there. This mattress is the perfect blend of lightweight packable and comfortable.

Compact & Warm

This sleeping pad, paired with my quilt, gave me a great (and warm) night sleep in the Rocky Mountain backcountry! Definitely recommend getting the 25" wide version, as the extra couple inches makes all the difference. I've slept on narrow pads in the past that made me feel like I was sleeping on a diving board...but the baffles on the edges of this pad kept me in place all night, no matter if I was sleeping on my side, back or anything in between.

Great For Backpacking Side Sleeper

Bought this for backpacking as my other pad was bulky. Tested a bunch in person before deciding on this one. I'm a side sleeper and this is SO much more comfortable than my previous one despite being thinner. I did buy a different big Agnes inflating bag as the one it comes with is difficult and takes a while. I'd still say it takes patience but the size is worth it. It does slide around the tent a bit but I accepted that over one with a fuzzy side because this one is so easy to clean. Overall, love it and would buy it again.
