Pros & Cons
Pros
This basic inflatable is less expensive than it was and constructed differently but feels as comfortable as it did. It is relatively light to pack, easy to inflate and comfortable. It self-inflates quickly and only needs a few more blows to become fir... Read More
If you’re an adventurer that prefers a practical reliable of this is it. Aaa for urethane in that dept.
It's light, flexible, durable, and fits perfectly in the hammock. It is very sturdy.
The thermo resistance is excelent, now my lousy sleeping bag is much more warmer. Great for backpacking. Saving a pound in backpacking weight is definitely worth your feet hanging off.
I sleep on my side and i'm a tad heavy at 170 lbs, and still hold my weight without my hips hitting the ground. I put some stuff from the back pack under the feet, and some under head as a pillow, the body rests ont the mattress.
Cons
The valve seems to be broken or internally cracked somehow. It just spins freely with one turn to the left, yet it will not take in any air. I currently own 4 thermarest pads and none of them stay inflated through the night.

Quality
I slept on this pad with my teton 20 degree sleeping bag and didnt get cold at all and it got down into the fifties i slept wit... Read More
Reminder the instruction says to store the pad flat with the valve open
Shipping
If you are shipping or flying this sleeping pad make sure to do so with the valve open so that pressure changes do not bust the valve
Packaging/appearance
Was easily fixed with a patch and works just like new
My last trip with it was in the sierra nevadas at 10500 ft and it snowed 6 inches and got down into the mid20s
I was concerned that it might be difficult to put the pad back into the bag after deflation but no problem at all
Competitiveness
I used this particular mat for a 10day camping trip
Purchased a thermarest pad for teenage son who used it on his first three day backpacking trip in the north cascades
Inflating takes under a minute and holds air for at least a few days with reinflation being topping off the air after day 3
However im likely going to switch to the zlite from thermarest

I don’t like that i have to manipulate it more and the larger size of the nozzle leaves air to escape around the edges when i blow into it
