R-Value: Gossamer Gear has not determined an R-Value or temperature rating for the closed cell foam due to its variable density, but based on thermal conductivity data compiled by an independent scientist, they estimate the R values to be 0.5 for the 1/8" Thinlight

United Statesgossamer gear foam pad
save your money, product is thin and tears very easily
United StatesExpensive and fragile
I had the folding pad and used it for a weeklong trip into Bears Ears NM. It worked well as both a sit pad and an improvised yoga mat, but tore too easily and after exposure to the Cottonwood trees, sap and debris was embedded in it so badly that I had to throw it out. It does not fit perfectly into my medium Mariposa as a replacement back pad, FYI. Cost and durability make it doubtful I’ll replace.
United States United StatesUniversal Pad
Love the versatility, I was glad I got the folding version, so much easier to deploy and it stays in place better than the rolled version.
United StatesI’m using it as a sit pad, extra layer underneath my sleeping pad, and extra padding for my backpack. It snagged on a tree day 2 of my hike and I tore two holes in it (user error). Still works fine. My only thing is the size makes it a bit cumbersome to fit in my pack and around my gear.
