Basecamp comfort at backpacking weight - NEMO Equipment Vector Insulated Sleeping Pad

I recently picked up the Nemo Vector Insulated pad in size Large from Campsaver and while it's a bit heavier than some ultralight options, it's been incredibly comfortable. I have a large, heavy sleeping pad that I use for car camping or as an extra bed for visiting friends and this might be more comfortable. I opted for the built in foot pump (extra 3 oz) instead of the Nemo Tensor Insulated Pad and I hope that it leads to convenience and increases the longevity of the pad. It does take about 40 pumps to fill the pad, but again it's a size large and 3 inches thick so a pretty big volume of air. Even though they didn't have a demo pad yet, the staff at Campsaver were very helpful and let me check one out.

I haven't used it in the field yet and can't comment on durability but wanted to post this review for anyone else considering this new pad.
