United StatesSimple Solid and well priced
I ordered it as a backup since my primary sleep pad got a hole I couldn't find quickly. I accidently ordered the 20", but aside from feeling narrow - again, 20" - it worked very well. It's definitely not the lightest, but it wasn't the heaviest either. Super comfortable and kept me warm all night. Excellent sleep pad for it's price.
United StatesSo far, so good…
Holds air, which is my primary concern. Comfortable when not quite fully inflated, the mattress is like a rock when full. Got 13 nights of sleep on it while going from Tuolumne Meadows to Carson Pass. The inflation bag is beyond my skill level for efficiency, so I inflate by mouth, in about 1/3 of the time.
Misleading dimensions
i ordered the mw pad as im a wide sleeper. i got it home and inflated it in my living room and lied down on it. my arms immediately slipped off the side. that was weird, because it's supposedly half an inch wider than my thermarest neoair xlite... and i my arms dont slip off the side of that. so i measured the exped mat and it was 24 inches wide. i emailed ggg and they said "the advertised dimensions for this pad come directly from the manufacturer. this pad is 30" measured flat and as it inflates, the usable width decreases. the advertised 25.6" is meant to be the max measured width when the pad is optimally inflated. if the pad is over inflated it could cause the usable width to dip below the advertised max. if you haven't yet, i would recommend adjusting the inflation of the pad. there should be a happy medium between firmness and width that should get your the full 25.6". well, to get the pad to the full 25.6, it was far too soft and could feel the ground (or floor in this case). i'm very disappointed that the pad cant be both advertised dimensions at the same time. i bought this solely on the fact that it was both wide and thick
United StatesOK
I was plenty warm in the low 40s. I've used it twice fully inflated. I'll see if I'm more comfortable slightly under-inflated. My arms still hung off with a wide mat.
Extremely versatile, low noise pad
i had the opportunity to try this pad on everything from alpine climbing bivys in rmnp, weekend fastpacking stints on the colorado trail, to a week backpacking in the utah desert. while not the absolute lightest compared to others in the same r(5) class, it is definitely the most quiet. this due to the fact that it trades traditional reflective fabrics for laminated synthetic insulation. much appreciated was the added pad thickness and raised side rails when sleeping on consistently unstable backcountry terrain, never feeling roots/rocks/etc under the pad. lastly the 20d face fabric fabric was impressively durable!
