dydxdx's Review of NEMO Equipment Astro Insulated Lite Sleeping Pad

This is not a winter pad, sleeps cold. In spite of the "Insulated" hype, the ASTM FF3340 test put this pad in the warm, summer category.

I own two of the Insulated versions of this pad, and it is certainly not a 15° to 25°F pad. An R-value of 2.6 is a summer pad, reg & wide....misleading with the "Insulated" suggesting winter. It sleeps cold in near freezing temps.

Even REI mentions "Thicker pads generally offer higher R-values and the average summer camping pad should be around 3 or higher. Campers who sleep cold, often women, may want to choose a pad with an R-value of at least 4."

MEC mentions "Sleeping pads with an R-value of less than 3 are best for really warm weather."

Thermarest graphic shows R2.6 as summer pad.

The Insulated Astro is not a 15°-25°F Pad!
