User Reviews

• Some reports of the baffles not distributing the air evenly, leading to some uneven sections of the pad.
• The width of the pad decreases in width at the foot area, which may not be wide enough for some body types.
• Not the lightest choice on the market, making it potentially not the best option for long-distance trekkers.

Expert Reviews

• Not as warm as other pads for 4-season use, making this only suitable for mild conditions.
• Rolling up the pad to pack after using can take some time and decrease the efficiency.
