Best Uses:
Backpacking, Weekend Trips
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
What Is Your Gear Style:
Comfort Driven
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have the Pine Ridge long/wide pad and I love it. It is very comfortable and durable. Problem is it is too heavy. After a 3 day hike on the AT I am trying to cut down on some weight. So I bought this regular size pad. It's a little thinner but I think the savings in weight will be worth it. I have only tried the smaller one at home. I am 6'2". My feet hang off the bottom if I lie flat on my back but that's ok with me. On my back my elbows are over the edge on the sides. This is a bigger issue for me. All in all I am very happy with the pine ridge pads for the price.

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Prompted to give review after only having it for 2 weeks.Used it twice in backyard overnight with son. I am new to sleeping pads but was surprised by the comfort. Rolled up well into the stuff sack that came with it. Might be a bit bulky for the backpacking minimalist. The price was the BEST around

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These pads are great. My husband and I have never slept this well in a tent. We used them on an overnight backpack with no problem on weight, longer trips might be too heavy. Time to throw out the old foam pads!

Pros:
Comfortable, Easy To Inflate, Non Slip
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
What Is Your Gear Style:
Minimalist
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Not as compact as I would have liked, not as light as my Z-fold. Not as comfortable as some other heavier pads I have. It is a compromise of weight, comfort and compactness, so it doesn't score high on any one but does better than most on all three.

Pros:
Comfortable, Compact Roll Up, Durable Design, Easy To Inflate
Best Uses:
Car Camping, Extended Trips, Weekend Trips
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
What Is Your Gear Style:
Minimalist
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I ordered three of these mats for a recent camping trip in Canada. All three performed as expected. My one gripe is that the mats could be wider, but 20" seems to be the norm in this price range. To get a wider mat as least doubles the cost. The inflation process is straightforward. Open the valve and let the mat inflate then close the valve. Mat is ready for use. When you are done using it, open the valve again, squeeze out the air, then close the valve once it is rolled up and use the provided straps to secure the mat in its rolled up state. Place the mat in its provided stuff sack. These mats are a very good value for the price. I would buy again.

We do a few car camping trips every year. We decided to get some sleeping pads this year. We don't camp enough to spend a lot of money on gear, so we decided to try these ALPS pads.
These pads are good for a nice, comfortable sleep. I don't know how well they'd work for extended trips, but they're great for a few nights.
