>>2511006the only things that matter:
- r value
- weight / r value to weight ratio
- bulk when folded/rolled (varies more than you think)
- comfort
and lastly, depending on who you are i might add:
>>2511052size might matter to some people but i guess it depends what you're using it for and how you sleep. if you're a sicko who can train yourself to sleep on your back, its pretty popular to shorten ccf pads from anywhere ranging from knee length to just a square for the back. all you actually need when its not winter if you're not a side/belly sleeper & its nice to hike without a bulky ass pad. ive seen people mod their pads with snap rings to re-attach the parts they cut off when its cold out too. smart idea.
but if you can't sleep like that, its def worth it to have a pad you can actually sleep on.
>>2511007the savotta, ridgerest, and z lite all have r values around like 2-2.5. i think they're all r value 2 actually, off the top of my head.
savotta is 960 grams, ridgerest is about 400 grams and z lite sol is about 400 grams.
the z lite folds up a lot smaller than the ridgerest and savotta.
the ridgerest is a bit more comfortable than the z lite sol, to me.
>>2511032if you live in an obscure third world country or something you can buy a fake z lite off alibaba anywhere in the world. its a good deal and almost as good as the actual one.
if you don't mean these specific pads, you can find a blue foam mat anywhere. they're ubiquitous and like $10-20.
