Nearly perfect pad: 4.5 stars - NEMO Equipment Cosmo Insulated Sleeping Pad

This pad has lots of Pros: warm, comfortable, fairly compact pack size, easy to inflate (by mouth which is my preference or using the built-in pump to a lessor degree), very easy to deflate and adjust, and build quality looks very good so it should be quite durable, although I have only uses it 1/2 doz. times so far. The only negative is the built-in foot pump. I find this slightly awkward to use and slower than simply inflating by mouth. Also the placement /size of the device makes the packed size larger and heavier than it would be without or with a slight redesign.The size and design of the pump makes it slightly awkward to roll it tightly. I would give this 5 stars if it came without the foot/hand pump (in the rain you can't really use your feet unless you are in a very big tent), or with a redesign so that the pump system was an inch or two narrower to facilitate rolling compactly.
