hmmm Smaller than i expected, but lightweight, so it balances out. Holds air in so far, and as long as you're not a turner while you sleep, you can be comfy. Have not tested it in the cold cold, but will soon see this weekend in the 40's how it holds out. I'm confident. Nevertheless, even if it's an average quality, the build and principle behind the design warrant some more interest and research by companies like POE into alternatives and renewables. Still, quality that lasts will be the long term deciding factor, and I think this will last as long as anything else in it's price range on the market. Horrah for bamboo!?

Smart purchase At 2.5" of cushioning, this pad is perfect; lightweight, very compact, eco-friendly, and well worth the price. I wouldn't call myself a "tree-hugger" but I feel great about the carbon neutral foot print. I mean don't we purchase products like these so that we can enjoy the environment? It's not self inflating but it's EASY to fill with your lungs and let's face it, if you can't blow up your pad at the end of the day then you probably shouldn't be on the trail in the first place. I bought two of these from Altrec and they arrived super fast. I'm very happy with the purchase.

So excited... I ordered the women's sleeping pad first, which was shockingly to small. I'm 5'5'' and this bag appears to fit me well. It's a very exciting purchase, especially since you know it is environmently friendly, which makes the pad seem more special.
