I have been bikepacking in the Arizona desert for the past 6 years and have had many issues with pads wearing out from constant rubbing and the many thorns we encounter. This pad has held up amazingly well! It also packs very small, is easy to inflate with the included inflation system. This pad is for those who want to travel fast and light but also have a good comfortable pad.

I just received this cool looking orange pad. Packs up really small and very lightweight . But the downside is the one valve. Very very time consuming to deflate!!! Will be returning. Sorry Big Agnes i always thought you were ahead of the game. Guess i will stick with my 6oz heavier rapid

The Big Agnes Zoom UL Insulated sleeping pad is an excellent choice for anyone who values comfort without sacrificing pack weight. It's impressively light and compact, yet provides a warm and supportive night's sleep thanks to its high R-value and insulated construction. The surface feels stable and quiet, and the larger outer chambers do a great job of keeping you centered through the night. Setup is quick, I use a small battery inflator instead of the full sack, and it packs down smaller than a water bottle. Overall, the Zoom UL Insulated is a top-tier pad for backpackers and thru-hikers who want premium comfort in an ultralight design.

I wanted to get a pad that was wide enough so my elbows don't fall off pad sleeping on my back and small and light similar to my current ultralight mummy style pad. Zoom UL check all the boxes for use in everything but the coldest winter objectives. Pros: comfortable for sleeping on back and side, warm, quiet, small, light. Cons: a bit tricky to inflate without a pump, difficult to fully deflate, requires a specific process to deflate and roll up/pack. For these reasons it got 4 stars.
Product is very light and packs down. Upgraded from my last Big Agnes UL sleeping pad and this model is comfier and doesn't squeak when I move around. Plus it comes with an air bag to inflate. Love it for backpacking!!!
I have taken it backpacking multiple times, it has held up very well and adds a great deal of comfort over traditional sleeping pads

Great sleeping mat. A little noisy, but definitely not as loud as some of them out there. I would not hesitate to buy again

This mat is perfect to slip into the Torchlight exp youth 20 sleeping bag. Both the bag and mat did their job, keeping my son in one spot and warm. I asked him if his bag was cold, and he said no. We were in about 35-degree nights.

I love this sleeping pad. It is super light and comfortable. The bag inflator is fairly easy to use and while it may not be faster it is sure nice not having to blow it up by mouth. I haven't tried sleeping on snow yet, but it was pretty warm in cold weather.

I am happy that the pad is lighter than my old one. It is not as "quiet" as my old one was, because it does not have the cloth like covering. But I'll trade that for the lighter weight. I wish the pad had the quick deflating outlet. Its a pain to roll and press the valve at the same time. I also would like to win the sweepstakes!!!
While I was aware of the potential cold spots, I decided to give it a try for a summer ultralight mat. So, cold spots are really there and they could annoy in temperatures already at 10-12C. Would not recommend this pad with a quilt, the sleeping bag helps to fight those cold spots. So far I have found a solution: I swapped by thermarest Z-seat for a piece of thin foam mat (app. 20x50 inches, 150g), that serves me as a double-purpose item. I use it to sit on the ground during the day, and through it below my Zoom. So far so good. For 3-season travel I would definitely pick a different mat, and Zoom would be as a summer only mat. Comfort wise it is fine, but not the best I have tried. I am a side sleeper and rotate a lot. Initially I was worried that it would be as loud as Thermarest NeoAir, but the noise surprizingly almost disappeared when the mat was inflated. Also, I do not like the inflation sack, it's too heavy and the material feels too sticky. Instead, I carry a sack provided with Rapid SL, which is lighter and the material is more comfortable to use. I have a 25x72 version, and it's real weight is 490g, so even lighter than specced. Overall, a good summer-only mat. For colder temps use it with caution, or better grab a different mat.
Mckenzie,
Liked it...tried it out on a tile floor and fell asleep in the afternoon!

I've used this pad twice. Both times I had to air up 3 times throughout the night.

Easily punctured which was repaired.Now leaks again and I'm unable to find it. Pad is a little noisy. On a positive note the pad is comfortable and is ideal for Temps down to 35.
