Dean D.'s Review of Big Agnes Insulated AXL Air Sleeping Pad

I bought the 78"x25" rectangular pad. Packs down to 10-1/2" long x 4-1/2" diameter, weighs an even one pound, is 3-1/2" thick, rated to 15 degrees F. I have not used it at temperatures lower than 30 degrees F, so can't attest to the 15 degree temperature rating. It's OK at 30 degrees F, but I did not feel I'd push it to 15 degrees F. Thick enough to be comfortable for side sleeping, packs down small, light. Great summer pad. Had a Thermarest Neoair before, and the AXL is lighter, rated to a lower temperature, and thicker. One thing I don't like is the location of the valve. The valve is not at the end of the pad, but is a few inches up the pad from the end. This makes getting all the air out harder when you roll it up.
Pros:
  • Light
  • light, thick
Cons:
  • temperature rating, air valve location
Best Used for:
  • summer hiking
Would Recommend: Yes
