We finally splurged on a set of these premium cold weather sleeping pads for our winter camping events with the Boy Scouts. While this company makes one slightly warmer model, it didn't seem worth the relatively substantial extra weight to me. So it was between this model and the slightly less warm yet heavier option from STS, but all 4 of our family members preferred the feel of this pad so we selected our unanimous choice. We have other somewhat less insulated pads by both STS and this manufacturer with which we've been very happy. One nice feature that STS offers that this does not is that the STS stuff sack doubles as the inflation bag. We also would prefer to avoid down, for ethical reasons, but unfortunately its performance per ounce simply cannot be matched ... MoreWe finally splurged on a set of these premium cold weather sleeping pads for our winter camping events with the Boy Scouts.

I use this all year round. So warm that I use my sleeping bag as a duvet almost all the time for a comfy sleep. Haven't tried others but I can tell you that this one is with me every time I go overnight. Highly recommended. A bit pricey but what good thing isn't these days. This will give you years of happiness for the price of a couple night of hotel.

Very comfy pad. I wanted to upgrade my Thermarest Neoair to something wider and not as noisy and this was great not noisy at all, easy to blow up with the pump sack also tried a mini air pump and that worked too. I was able to try it out car camping and some back packing down into the 40s I'm a cold sleeper and I was getting a little clammy with this pad using a 55 degree sleeping bag so can't wait to try it in colder weather. The cons it is hard to get back into the stuff sack, every time I had to roll it a couple times before it finally went in properly and it's heavier than my last pad but that's a trade off for the extra width and I'm short wish they would make a short wide pad for us petite people.
