Insulated Sleeping Pad

[HAGEMANIAC]

Any recommendations?  Backpacking, so weight counts. Would like minimum 72" long, and not too narrow. Insulated as well.

Check out the Exped Mats... a little heavier than some, but the best I have used

What I use and the go to for most people I know is the Thermarest NeoAir Xtherm. Lightweight for what it is. Enough insulation to get the job done.

What's your budget?

I went from the Thermarest Neoair XTherm to the Sea to Summit comfort plus insulated and have slept better since.  The Thermarest was just too noisy for me.  Comfort wise both are very comparable, I just couldn't get past the potato chip bag sound of the XTherm.  If that wouldn't bother you, I'd say go either way.

I had the Neo air Xlite (yellow) and the "potato chip" sound at night was terrible (more for the folks near me than myself!).  After a few death threats - I am a restless sleeper - I moved to the Neo Air Xtherm (kinda silver/olive colored).  Love it. 

Very comfortable, warm on snow and much quieter.  No more complaints from my peers either. 

Mine weighs in at 15 ounces (0.94 lbs) and rolls to about the size of a 1 liter bottle of water.  It goes with me on most day hikes for emergency purposes.  LOVE IT.

They are rather spendy though.  Be sure to pack a patch kit.  having it deflate and not be able to repair it could be a big issue!

Klymit Insulated Static V

a little heavier than some but quieter and cheaper

[Wolfdog2314]

After using the insulated Klymit last year, losing air after a couple nights, I just went with the Big Agnes QCore SLX. https://www.bigagnes.com/Q-Core-SLX?quantity=1&custcol7=17

I haven’t used it yet other than in the house checking it out. I have some buddies that really like it. Something else for u to check out.

I have an expensive blow up rei pad and blow up cheaper pad,and I also have a very cheap accordion style foam pad.  99% of the time, I'm taking my foam type pad, works just fine, light, and I'll never have to worry about popping the damn thing.

Similar experience - Sea to Summit Comfort Plus is worth the weight to me.  I went from a BA Q-Core, with a questionable R-rating.  It was cold.

For total weight savings and insulation, XTherm is the standard.  Nothing is as warm and light as this.  But you give up some noise and comfort.

Comfort Plus is over twice the weight I believe, but 2 inches longer and an inch wider (for the large versions).  Not sure on thickness, but i would imagine an inch or two as well.

I think it comes down to how well you sleep and how little you move.

I've heard good things with Exped, and have one of their huge ones for my cot in the wall tent, but haven't ever tried them for backpacking.

Also, can't beat Klymit Insulated Static V Sleeping Pad for the cost.

I’ve really liked my Klymit insulated static v as well. Very comfortable and kept me warm down into the teens...

Compact and not a lot heavier than others out there...but if I was doing more than 1-3 night trips I’d save the weight and go w the xtherm.

I’ve also used the Xtherm that I borrowed from my son.  It’s lighter than the Klymit, but has a mummy bag profile at the lower section and my feet fall off when I’m flopping around at night....so for comfort I vote for the Klymit

Picked up one of these last year and really like it. Check it out since you’re shopping

Whatever you get, I recommend you get one that is at a minimum 25" wide.
