Title: Re: Sleeping pads
Post by solotripper on May 21st, 2020 at 12:32pm
This is an updated version of what I have.
I paid much less but that was 10 yrs ago.
Easy to inflate/deflate. I open valve while I'm laying on it to deflate, then close valve and roll to deflate as usual.
  If you have decent lung power it inflates easily, no need for a pump.

  A good night's sleep makes a big difference. I would sacrifice some extra weight for that.
They make a woman's model that is a little bit shorter BUT it only comes in the 20" wide model.

  I have the men's large which is 25" wide. That extra width makes a big difference is you turn side to side as you sleep.
  I take a camp pillow too. The pad is a pain to fold just right to get into its stuff sack. I don't do that.
I fold it in half the long way and then roll it up and put it in a small COMPRESSION stuff sack along with my camp pillow. Much easier/quicker that way.
