Reviewed by Sierra Sam from Bishop Ca. on Friday, May 17, 2013After hearing about this product I got goose bumps. Then I inflated mine and put it in a Big Agnes sleeping bag and got in and ooooohhhhh. Well lets just say my backpacking of 30 years ago will never compare with this set up.

Reviewed by JM from NY, NY on Wednesday, April 17, 2013Great pad, packs down small, and the stuff sack it comes in is great. The mummy shape has the nozzle away from the edge of the rolled up pad which will prevent the nozzle from catching, snagging or banging on trees, car trunk walls, etc. Pad comes with repair kit built into stuff sack. Nice addition.

Reviewed by jakshuntingagain. from North Alabama on Monday, November 12, 2012Bought the large/long version to replace bulky rectang-bag on Alaska Caribou hunt. Fly-ins in small bush planes with limited space - while goose down bags are smaller and lighter, Alaska is wet - so I wanted a synthetic. Lack of bottom insulation make a relatively small package with the right compression sack. No extra bag for the pad - rolled it inside the bag. Nice package. Outfitter provided cots with mesh fabric - there was a slight draft along the edges of the pad the first night. I draped one of the small emergency blankets over the cot, added a doubled up "airline" fleece blanket over the emergency blanket and found the bag very comfortable for the remainder of the trip. At 6'0", 215 lbs, I was able to move around inside the XL bag and sleep in different positions even though the bag must stay oriented top and bottom. We filled our tags, called the pilots to come get us and broke camp, packing everything up except one of the two 6-man tents. But the weather turned bad and all 4 in our party wound up sleeping on the ground in one of the 6-man tents for the next 2 days. The pad is pretty thin, so sleeping on the rocky ground required some adjustments to avoid larger stones, but it was very warm with no air circlulation from beneath - and I was the only member in our group that wasn't rolling or sliding off their pad. This is the best bag I can imagine for my use. I guess it's probably too big for a backpacking bag - but if you're stranded in the tundra - this bag will keep you warm in high winds and cold temps. I'll use on my next trip. This equipment performed very well - inspite of one small issue with the zipper hanging up. Wind: None to 60+ max Temp: Min 18 to Max 40 (F) at night Sleep clothing: Wool wader socks, fleece wader pants, loose synthetic underwear top, lightweight fleece vest, thin smart wool skull cap.

Reviewed by bird from santa fe nm on Sunday, July 22, 2012Very small, portable,light.The fact it inflates to a few inches adds comfort, but it's SO narrow it's very easy to roll off.Good for folks who do not move around too much in their sleep.Wish it was wider up top.

Reviewed by Motorcycle Camper from Pinckney, MI on Sunday, June 10, 2012Lack of insulation in back requires that air mattress or pad be used in sleeve for warmth. Air mattress in sleeve restricts you to sleeping on back only. Have to roll off pad if you want to sleep on your side. If you rotate in bag to sleep on side, you can't use hood. Mattress in sleeve keeps the hood from closing snugly around head. Mattress in sleeve makes for a "bell shape curve" with colder spots at the perimeter of the mattress. You can't tuck in the dead air spaces for warmth.

Reviewed by jaybo from Chattanooga,Tn. on Wednesday, June 06, 2012Bought this pad to increase comfort over closed cell pads( eg. z-rest), and to be lite and narrow enough to put two of them in a small two person tent. Turned out to be an excellent choice.

Reviewed by Kirny from Breckenridge, CO on Wednesday, May 30, 2012I finally decided to get a big agnes after a recent week of tossing and turning on my old sleeping pad during a backpacking trip. I'm so glad I finally decided to upgrade to a big agnes, it's so comfortable. I've gotten the best nights sleep outside on my big agnes, don't know how I survived without it for so long. It's like sleeping back home on your bed. It inflates quickly and packs down really small, easily fits inside a pack. Only concern is that it will probably be easy to puncture, so be careful where you lay it. Other than that, LOVE it and am very happy with my purchase.

Reviewed by Bib from Michigan on Wednesday, May 30, 2012The greatest thing about this pad is, I aired it up and didn't have to put more air in it all week. Aired it and forgot about it.

Reviewed by dbabob from Pittsburgh, PA on Tuesday, May 22, 2012Being a 225lb restless sleeper, I was slightly worried about how well it would hold up, and it handled my bouncing around all night long. Also, kept me quite warm as well.

Reviewed by Chris the backpacker from San Mateo, CA on Tuesday, May 22, 2012This is a very nice product. It takes a bit to blow up and cannot be done by a younger kid. Squeaks quite a bit when rolling over.
