Warm. . . comfortable. . . light
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Returned my brand new Nemo Tensor All Season for this pad and am so glad I did. So much more comfortable than the other pad. While it is a little lower R Value and Little heavier I've slept perfectly warm with my 10° Zenbivy quilt and I have never felt the extra weight as it was only an ounce. Highly recommend!

Finally found the perfect mattress!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mattress gives the best support with my shoulders and hips. I am a side sleeper and slept thru the night with this one for the first time at Pictured Rocks national lakeshore during a thru hike. Perfect fit , size, easy to inflate with the inflating pouch. I can't say enough. This one is the best overall for a side sleeper looking for a great night of sleep and recovery from a long hiking day. Thank you!! 10 out of 10 recommended!

Extremely loud!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to use this sleeping bag, but I ended up returning it because it kept me awake — it was just too loud. Friends in a separate tent could hear me moving; that’s how noisy it was. Otherwise it’s very comfortable and light.

Best Sleeping Pad Yet
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Look I've tried a lot of sleeping pads. Of all the lightweight pads out there, this one's got the comfort, packability and durability totally dialed in. Perfect R-value for 3-season adventures, and pairing it with a closed cell foam pad makes the perfect snow-field/glacier camp combo. Love that the pump sack is integrated into the stuff sack, too!

Comfy nights
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like these mats. They blow up easily and I do not roll off. As a side sleeper, I find other pads are not stable and I roll of the sides.

Better Sleep
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have lots of nights in the backcountry sleeping on other brands of sleeping pads. The Ether Light AR Insulated pad has improved my sleep. No more tingling in my arms or sore hips. Much longer and more restful sleep. I have a short mummy which fits me perfectly. Seems wider than other 20" pads. The pad does seem to have less insulation than other pads I've used. Still it's a good pad for summer use. The inflation sack takes a little practice, but it works really well. I wish the inflation bag was separate from stuff sack, since it could then be used for other things. The material isn't as slippery as other pads. Packs down relatively small and easy to get back into stuff sack. Only have 15 nights on it so far. The material seems durable so hoping to get many years out of the pad.
