I use a self inflating pad with a grabber heat blanket for now. The inflatable one is looking pretty good though! Thanks.

neoair xtherm is an air pad & it's the best pad out hands down. R value 5.7, weight is 15oz, or 425g in upgraded language :P

I have been using cheap self inflating pads from Vango, Coleman, even Aldi for years. They are all similar, the thing that nearly always fails are the valves. You can repair punctures but when the valve goes it is time to bin it. Some even have sharp edges on the plastic that erode the material. Get the valves sorted out please manufacturers!

have my trusty therma rest closed cell foam padding. have a lightspeed warmth series self inflating pad (77" x 30" x 3") for car camping

Puppy! 😊

So after all that, you didn't even tell us which one you liked best. What a waste of time listening to you.

Thanks for this overview. As always, I really like your videos. So, again, thanks a lot for all the effort you put in filming and sharing!
Regarding sleeping pads I just like to refer to one more type of pad, I pretty much like. That's the air mat filled with down. I have been using one of these (the Exped DownMat UL7 LW) for more than three years now and I really love it. Very small packing size, very lightweight, very comfortable, and great insulation. They are very expensive, though, but well-worth the money. -
Thank you. So , the ultralight sollution is a manual inflating pad. In winter this can be used together with a foam pad.

Why do you frame a video showing your ceiling but not any of the products? Maybe this will help ... https://vimeo.com/14315821

Did you ever make a camping video with your dogs? I can't seem to remember.
-
Inflatables are great until they fail in the middle of the night. Foam never fails.
-
So far I've used a closed foam thermarest (the one that looks like an egg carton) and while I actually find it quite comfortable, it's just too bulky. Starting the Te Araroa in November and I don't want half my pack filled with the mat so I'm shopping around. Might go for self-inflating in the end, it looks the most practical for such a long hike...
-
What is your opinion on a Klymit Static V2 (1.1 pounds and only a 1.3 R value) pad? I have a Thermarest Trail Lite that I have to inflate which is adequate but I am looking for something with more support. I could only find the Pacific Outdoor Equip AC Adventure pad which looks cheap and the reviews were almost all poor due to many leaks.
-
Don't laugh; but I use a $7 blue closed cell foam pad from Walmart's camping department.
-
take a look at the Sea to Summit range - pack size is probably the smallest you'll get and the ultra light insulated has an rvalue of 3.3
-
what is your opinion of the Klymit inflatable pads? i just bought the static V recon pad. so far i love it
-
"...and so on"
-
I was set on a Big Agnes until I spent 30 minutes at REI laying on all the different pads on their demo platform. I ended up with a Thermarest. Nothing beats a test drive.

pool float?

Hey Luke. I'm thinking about purchasing this sleeping pad http://www.mec.ca/product/5035-166/therm-a-rest-traillite-sleeping-pad-unisex/ it's a toss up with this one as well http://www.mec.ca/product/5025-647/mec-reactor-3.8-sleeping-pad-unisex/ ..There pretty much the same in every way perhaps weight difference of a few grams and dimensions are a few inches either way, they both have the same R Value and the thickness is 3.8 on both.. I'm not concerned about pack weight simply because a 20 min walk from my back yard i'm in the bush already haha... Perhaps you could give me your opinion on what one you would choose.... Because you are the man when it comes to quality !!!!! Thanks in advance my friend.. Oh BTW thank you for doing the temperature conversions in Celsius for the People north of the border I noticed in your last few videos... You should come here you would love it! Millions of hectares of forest surrounded by fresh water lakes... Cheers from Yellowknife Canada
