Here's what customers have to say
The Switchback sleeping pad is generally well-received for its comfort, warmth, and durability. Many users find it suitable for backpacking and camping, noting its lightweight and compact design. However, some users report the pad is too narrow, especially for taller or wider individuals. While the Switchback appears to be a reliable and affordable closed-cell foam pad, the width may be a concern for some users.

Great pad
Comfortable and well built. Folds up tight and very light weight.

Just Right
On a recent hike on the AT, I used this pad instead of an inflatable and it worked great. In fact, I prefer it in summer conditions. As a side sleeper, I find the switchback surprisingly comfortable and supportive of restful sleep. A solid piece of equipment that does not disappoint.

Even my pup gives it 2 paws up! Got one for myself and my pup! Very sturdy and comfortable pad, adds extra warmth for your sleeping setup. Used it camping at 20F and it did its job! Awesome quality pad.

Mr
This sleeping bad is good for long trips and minimalists. Our first use was in a cave. It has good insulation even on wet ground. Well insulated from the cold wet cave. Even on racks I was slept comfortably, and it protected my sleeping bag.

lightweight summer or adding warmth in the winter
It works great and adds warmth under a current sleeping pad in the winter, or I'll take it alone in midsummer. Also great for laying on during breaks.

Awesome pad
These are great pads! They are light and add insulation and padding in rocky areas. I don’t know why I fought taking one of these back packing with me, world of difference.

Convenient
I just started overnight backpacking and sometimes I just don’t want to mess with an inflatable pad. This fits the bill, lightweight, easy set up, easy to carry, clean, can use as a sitting mat. Worth the convenience. Comfort will depend on the individual.

Hello, Does the Switchback sleeping pad come in larger sizes...? I'm looking for ~ 30"W X 80"L. Thanks.

I note a carry bag is not available to protect the pad - what are people using to keep it safe? Any product people can recommend? I'd prefer not to carry it around int he box forever.

If the reflective surface is supposed to reflect body heat, is this side meant to be slept on? If so, why is the logo embossed on the orange side?
