I know that after an extended hike most people can sleep on most anything but I always woke up sore or not completely rested. This pad is the solution!! For such a light and compact pad (I can fit it in my bottom sleeping bag compartment with the sleeping bag) it is seriously thick. Enough so that even some tree roots are no big deal. Also, the ability to adjust firmness easily is awesome. Thank god someone came out with a two way valve. I mean floaties have one.... But anyway, the larger side rails are also a welcome addition. I never feel like I'm going to roll off. Also, for those of you who didn't like the deep pillow top of the old version, BA fixed that. It's not noticeable on this one. It also doesn't sound like a potato chip bag like some others (won't mention any names). Definitely worth it!!
