Yeah and feel every single rock and root underneath you. Its nice to limit your camping area to the minimum and keep finding perfect spot for hours.

Its easy to roll off when switching sides. Also good to have some room for your bend legs.

Nah man im good. I just bought new pack with internal frame that suits my needs much better. Not buying new any time soon. I want to keep weight as close to my body as possible because i like to climb and sometimes run aswell. Its also annoying to have something wider than your torso attached to your pack when going through bushes and narror spaces. Dont want to strap it vertically either because then it covers pockets.

You should view your sleeping bag as a permanent piece of equipment so get down, something like Western Mountaineering. Inflatable sleeping pads do not last, never spend over $100 on one because you'll be lucky if it lasts a season. Klymit Static V Insulated Lite would be my choice.

But all the insulation underneath you will compress and lost warmth so sleeping pad should have good r-value too.

I have two inflatable thermarests. First one is 5 years old and going strong, second one slightly over a year and doing fine.

Plus they have an excellent return policy. I like it when my stuff lasts, but it's equally nice to know you can return defective items.

I guess, if you're poor. Good brands offer lifetime warranties and repair kits/instructions. As with ANYTHING buy a nice piece once or buy a piece of shit many times.

You must not backpack, repair kits almost never work.

Lifetime warranties are for defects in material and workmanship not holes due to twigs, rocks etc.

It's definitely not the Neo Air XTherm. I sleep on my stomach or sides. This expensive warm bastard seems to be designed for people who exclusively sleep on their backs and don't move during sleep. Shifts too easily, too narrow, especially at the legs.

Nothing wrong with inflatables. A lot of homosexuals prefer an inflatable sleeping pad because they're easier on their dainty wrists and joints.
