Product Description

"Anti-microbial treatment prevents fungus and bacteria from growing inside your pad. Comes with repair kit that stows neatly in a pocket within the stuff sack. Low-volume, tapered, mummy-shape design increases efficiency and compressibility. Quick-closing, high-volume airflow valve allows the pad to inflate and deflate quickly. R-Value equals 3.1. Rugged Taslan nylon diamond-ripstop upper surface has a non-slip texture; 75-denier polyester bottom ssurface resists wear. Stuff sack (included) protects pad during transport and ensures a compact parcel every time. Travel light and sleep comfortably--at just over a pound, our ultra-compact pad takes up little space in your pack and won't weigh you down. X-Core foam insulation is cross-cored for maximum compressibility and weight reduction." (From REI)

James WilsonLight and Comfortable

Voted 5/5

This is avery light and comfortable sleeping pad. I have used it several times on the Appalachian Trail and I was amazed at its comfort and its lightness. With an R-Value of 3.1 this pad is also excellent for cold weather. I have yet to use it at high altitude in snow but so far this has been a great sleeping pad and I would recommend it.
