Pacific Outdoor Equipment All Out Lite Sleeping Pad (For Women)

not self inflating- but who cares -i know how to blow

I bought this pad to go with a GoLite minimalist hoodless down bag, as a cheap 3-season sleep system that could fully stuff within a short-torso W's backpack (Gregory Pingora XS 49L). The first couple of times I have brought the pad out to self-inflate, it has not (even given several days to do so). However, it has only taken about 5-10 breaths to blow it up myself, and is totally not strenuous even if you'd been hiking all day. I wasn't too impressed the first time, but the second time when I tried it out with my sleeping bag on a hard tile floor, I thought it was quite cozy and a likely keeper (whether or not it "self-inflates"). Again, not field-tested, but there are lots of durability reviews out there for this item.
