Ultralichte slaapmatten

I shaved over a pound off my pack weight switching to this pad, and the weight savings are immediately noticeable on the trail. It packs down so small that it disappears into my backpack’s side pocket, which is exactly what I needed for multi-day hikes.

Finally, a sleeping pad that actually lives up to the weight savings promise—saved nearly half a pound from my old setup. The comfort level surprised me on a rocky campsite, and it packs down small enough to fit inside my pack.

Took this out on a three-day trip and barely noticed it in my pack—the weight savings are real. The pad kept me off the cold ground well enough that I actually slept through the night, which almost never happens for me.
