Essential Piece of Gear
It's very light, but the only 'problem' with this pad is it's pretty bulky, but that's not really an issue for me since I put it outside my pack. The pad was also very durable, because it's still maintaining it's shape even though I dropped my pack a lot of times, and the pad hits tree branches, etc during the hike, but it's still looking good. Overall, I'm very pleased with the performance of this pad and would recommend this to everybody who doesn't mind the 'bulkiness'

Great pad
I was skeptical about the R value being higher with this model but it appears to be true. Very comfortable pad, light and packs well. My only issue is I should have gotten a large, am 6' and would have liked the additional length.
