I was looking for a short pad to try out and add some more comfort in place of an accordion CCF pad. I'm 5'10" 175lbs and the pad comes right below my knees. First trip out was in January. Slept on sheet of tyvek, CCF pad, and this pad. Stayed comfortable the majority of the night. Second trip, with relatively same temps, I used the tyvek, ditched the CCF pad, and used this pad. I got chilly halfway through the night, but beyond that, the pad was comfortable. So, obviously, the need to boost the R value with something else is needed at lower temps. Layed it down on the tyvek over some gnarly looking sticks and it lived to tell the tale. My 3rd trip was on a sheet of polycryo, lightweight bivy, this pad, and empty pack under my legs in 50-60 degree weather. Outside of it sliding inside the bivy, I was comfortable and warm. The 2.5 inch height is enough to keep pressure points off the ground. It packs down pretty small and takes up minimal pack space. It's pretty easy to blow up and deflate. It's not the lightest 3/4 pad out there probably due to the 75d polyester that's used. However, it feels like it could take quite a beating. So, you sacrifice a bit of weight for durability. At this price, this pad is a no brainer for a durable and comfortable 3/4 pad in warmer weather.
