Chipper Reclaimed Closed-Cell Foam Seat

Awesome piece of kit to have when it’s cold

It’s light weight and small enough to keep super easily accessible, which is great if you want to take a quick break from hiking or whatever you’re doing and pop a squat without your bottom getting cold/wet/muddy. Its great that they’re putting good use to recycled materials that otherwise would have been wasted. I personally think the pattern is really cool.

Much better options

I was upset after receiving this pad to learn that there’s nothing to keep it folded shut. There is a small loop to attach the pad to the outside of your pack, but only loops on one end of the pad. This leaves it flapping open unless you spend additional money or fasten some kind of strap to keep it shut. Additionally, the tips of the raised bumps on the pad began ripping after 2 uses on a wooden bench and now I am lefts with several holes. Questioning the longevity of this pad. Z seat from Thermarest may be a more robust option for the price, though a bit less thick.

Lightweight Tush Cush

I love this "cushion". It's lightweight, packable, and environmentally friendly. I use it every outing.

Exceeds Expectations

I bought this on a whim. I had picnic table bench covers already, but was curious about this product and figured it could come in handy. As it turns out, I use this all the time now. It's great for picnic areas where I am only there for a short while and don't want to set up everything under the sun (like the full bench covers). It stores in the passenger door pocket in my vehicle and is so easy for me to grab up. Whenever I pull this out to use it, I can tell that strangers are giving me the "I wish I had that gear" look. Even though I wasn't into the bright colors, they've grown on me. It helps me spot that I've left out it out so that I don't forget it when I'm packing up. I would absolutely buy this again and recommend to others.

Goes with me everywhere

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

This sit pad is perfect. It seriously makes SUCH a big difference in comfort level. I take it with me backpacking, climbing, car camping, and to sit on on the bleachers or grass at baseball games.

Less isn’t more

It was smaller, stiffer and les compact than I expected. Also, the tie attached to it was only decorative, not useful to keep the folded up when being transported.

Not what I expected

It is much thinner than I expected, although I guess that is why it is so lightweight and easy to carry around

Great!

Easily portable. Surprisingly helpful for walks with a toddler.

Great idea for an age-old problem

Simple design; easy to use; inexpensive, and lightweight. I purchased one a year ago and it worked so well, I purchased a second one.

Great concept and form, but poorly made

Familiarity:

I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share

I like the concept of reusing scraps, the light weight, the funky colors and the small form factor, but the pad is so badly made, its laughable. The different colored foam blebs are barely fused together, instead they look like they've been glued on with lots of gaps, loose chunks and small crevices that won't stand up to real outdoor use. Not sure what Nemo is doing for quality control, as I saw them in a store and some looked better than others. If Nemo could actually make the foam pieces fuse together uniformly, it would be a good product, but right now I would pass on it unless I could see it in person.
